Gipper's Vapor Trays...Vapor Tray #5 .....And a chance to win a free tray!!!

[Gipper]

I appreciate the feedback and will try and come up with a few designs and bounce them off of you guys for feedback. One of my goals this time around was to simplifiy the process of making them, yet keep the functionality. When I was making these before I was making them to specific folks needs and the time it took to design, build and finish them meant I had to charge a pretty penny for them to make them worth my while. So I started out with the simple single device holder you see here thinking it would be something that I enjoy making, do not take a ridiulous amount of time to produce and I could sell them reasonably so people would want them. Well the truth be told I have only sold 1 item here on the forum....an Ego grip since I started again. I charged $7.50 for it and it costs me almost $3.00 to ship it!

Now please do not mistake the intent of my post here...I am not complaining about a lack of sales....I obviously am not getting rich off these things here and never dreamt or intended for this to be a major enterprise for me. What I want to do is offer something to my fellow vapors that I enjoy making, they enjoy having and at a price that we both feel was worth it. I always strive to exceed expectations. Nothing I like better than getting an email from a customer telling me how happy they were with what I sent them.

So now that I have bored you akll to tears (Can ya tell work is kinda slow tonight?) I guess all I was trying to say was PLEASE FEEL FREE to make suggestions about what you would like to see here. Worst thing that could happen is I would tell you that I don't have the skills to build what you are after or it would cost you more than you think it would!!!

Or maybe they are waiting to see if the win or not, then will buy if they don't.
You do great work!
Your trays & holders are works of art!

Would like to see your designs Brian and I get your point of simplifying things, it makes good since and I'm afraid I have a tendency of going too far with extravagant ideas. I look forward to seeing some of your other trays and I believe I will be able to choose one that will fit with some of the devices and things I have when I decide and know I will appreciate having it and thanks much for this and the chance to be able to win one here too!

Brian, you do beautiful work, I have done wood working so I get what goes into even a so called simple design. My lack of buying tho is that right now I just can't. Hoping that will change soon tho

One of the problems is people don't know where to find them. A website would certainly help.

When going to the thread where you display what you currently have, all the pictures are gone and there's only this statement:

All trays have sold...tahnk you - brian

more coming soon
