I'm not a good salesman. Maybe you could sell my glass art too.

I could probably sell your art, too. And you already know, I have a need for your products. Speaking of which.....time to start a new tread; I've got stuff for sale.

I'll post a pic of the back of one before I box them up today z168. In case you wanted to make one yourself.

I guess I could always get some more hubcaps and make more if there was a demand.

(right daw?

)

My landlord was conceived at Woodstock. Her parents did her the favor of naming her after the month of conception, too.

Chad -

Came home this evening to find a box from a "Harry" in PA. I was a little confused, but when I opened the box I found . . . my excellent hubbie clock. I popped in a double A battery and it immediately started running better than a timex. The fluorescent clock hands look so cool against the lightly chipped hub cap.

Great work and thanks!

Cool!! I'm glad it arrived safely. In case you didn't notice, I included a AA battery and a piece of wire to aid in hanging that I taped to the piece of cardboard that protected the clock hands.

I don't know if it's true, but I've been told that in Germany, my name is as common as John Smith in the US.

Growing up in Germany, I had a cousin Harald, and on the same town square there was another boy Harald. They were known as Harald Eins and Harald Zwei. I don't think I've ever met a German Harry, though. Over in England, on the other hand . . .

So, Chad....do you need some more hubcaps? I'm trying to clean out "old" inventory.

I'm still thinking about it. I probably should. I still have two people that asked for them after the original 3 were sold.

I could probably do better if I listed them on ebay. PM me how much you want for them if you would please.

I've got 4 hub caps I stripped paint off of and three others with paint plus those 4 bundt look wheel covers that no one has bought off of me.

Chad300tdt · #26 12-31-2008, 09:05 PM

More clocks are being produced.

I'll post pics when they're ready.

StaggerLee · #27 01-02-2009, 12:19 PM

Would there have been a demand for your glass art at Woodstock?

I'm sure there would have been quite a few hippies staring at the art, but I don't make hand-held "interactive" art pieces.

TheDon · #29 02-07-2009, 05:16 PM

Look what I got today

Its pretty sweet.

I kinda forgot what was in the box when the post lady gave it to me because I've bought a lot of stuff lately lol

Chad300tdt · #30 02-07-2009, 05:22 PM

Cool! It got there safely.

I took out all the clips on the back and flipped one around so you can use it as the hangar.

Make sure the hands didn't bend in shipping at all. Use the dial on the back and make the hands spin over each other to verify they have clearance. Another clock I made had bent hands and they would hang up every hour and throw the time off.

I tried to package it in a way that would protect the hands from getting bent, but you never know.
