[speaker001:] Okay.
[speaker002:] Okay. Do you, uh, do any woodworking?
[speaker001:] I do, and I really love it. Um.
[speaker002:] Oh, um, what do you do, for a hobby or for,
[speaker001:] Uh-huh, I do it for a hobby
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and I have my own equipment, and I have a jig saw and a scroll saw and, uh, in the process of getting a router
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and so, I like to cut out my wood, and then tole paint on the items that I cut out. What kind of things do you like to do with wood?
[speaker002:] Well, I'm not the one that cuts them out. My husband cuts them out
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] but, uh, he likes using the little band saws and jig saws
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] more than the stroll saw, because the stroll saw is, is a lot slower
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and then, uh, he's got a router, but now he wants a plunge router.
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] But anyhow, he cuts them out, and then I, I took a tole
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] painting class
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] to learn how to paint them right, you know.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] And what we want to do is, you know, make them, and then maybe take them to these craft shows or
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] flea market things and s-, and see if we can sell some of them.
[speaker001:] Yes.
[speaker002:] But, uh, I really like it so far.
[speaker001:] Oh, that is fun.
[speaker002:] And then my neighbor had a little doll made out of wood
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] so I took a pattern off of that, and then it's just a wooden doll with a painted face
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and then you, you make the dress for it, and you drill holes around the top of the head and you, you stick in
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] uh, like rope
[speaker001:] Uh-huh, the twine.
[speaker002:] and tie ribbons around it.
[speaker001:] Yeah, those are so cute.
[speaker002:] It looked really cute, you know. So I've got a couple of those started.
[speaker001:] They are really cute.
[speaker002:] Yeah, and then uh, but as far as wood work, that's all we've been doing right now.
[speaker001:] Oh, that is, that sounds really fun. well, they have a really fancy boutique out here in Ogden, Utah
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and I just got back from that today, so if you could get your projects into boutiques, oh, they are wonderful.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] You could make a lot of money from those.
[speaker002:] What do you do? I wonder how you, you just, they buy them from you, or you just given them to them on consignment or something?
[speaker001:] Uh, apparently, like that boutique, um, they take, {F oh what was it, } twenty percent of the sell price.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] You would put your sell price
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, uh-huh.
[speaker001:] uh, and then they would take twenty percent off of that
[speaker002:] Um, I see.
[speaker001:] at the counter.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, uh-huh.
[speaker001:] And so then at the end of the boutique, which usually runs for a week, then they give you what you earned [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, uh-huh.
[speaker001:] So, you have to decide what your price is going to be
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and then up it twenty percent so you can get what you need out of it.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] So if the customers are willing to pay it, then you get a profit.
[speaker002:] Oh, these little things are so cute, though, you know.
[speaker001:] They are.
[speaker002:] I.
[speaker001:] I, I have seen those. Those are darling.
[speaker002:] I went through some of the books down here at the craft shop, you know
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and, uh, there's a lots of little things you can get to cut out. In fact, I just sent to Shop Smith
[speaker001:] [Gasp] Oh.
[speaker002:] back in Ohio for a rocking horse pattern.
[speaker001:] Oh, that's what I want, is a Shop Smith [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah, we, well,
[speaker001:] That's my ul-.
[speaker002:] Gene's got one of those too [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Oh, does he? Oh, that's my ultimate dream [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah, so anyhow.
[speaker001:] Oh, you're lucky.
[speaker002:] Yeah, well, uh, he's retired now
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and, uh, I'm kind of semi retired. My company went bankruptcy, so I'm drawing my pension from them, but I'm still looking for a part time
[speaker001:] .
[speaker002:] job, you know.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] But, uh, he has all day long that
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] he can, you know, work on this stuff and do
[speaker001:] How fun.
[speaker002:] do cut outs like that,
[speaker001:] [Throat clearing].
[speaker002:] you know. And he's got a lot, a lot of tools, so.
[speaker001:] Oh, how nice. [LAUGHTER] I'm jealous.
[speaker002:] It's just, it's just getting started, you know.
[speaker001:] Yes.
[speaker002:] But, um, these little wooden things, they seem to sell really good.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] Um, I know a lot of people that have gotten them, you know. My next door neighbor, every time she sees something, she thinks it's so cute she wants to buy it, you know [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Uh-huh. [LAUGHTER] Oh.
[speaker002:] So, I'm just hoping that, you know, that we can get some cut out and painted, you know, before summer starts
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] because we don't want to have garage sales or anything like that
[speaker001:] No.
[speaker002:] in the winter time, you know.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] But, uh.
[speaker001:] Well, how is the market for things like that in California? .
[speaker002:] It seems, it seems like they go real good, you know.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] I mean, the country, anyhow, out here
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and I live out in the valley
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and country seems to be the in thing out here
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] you know, everybody wants little country pieces. So anything that looks like it might be country is what they want, you know.
[speaker001:] They just snap it right up, huh.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] And, uh, this little rabbit that I made in, uh, tole painting class, you know, is like a welcome. It's got a, it's going to have little wooden hearts holding it, in its hands
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and then welcome written on those little wooden hearts.
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] And,
