Hi Debbie,
When selecting a pattern package keep this in mind the finished product cost you less than $1.00 to make and a personalized Wall Tribute retails for $35.00, so pick the package that has the one design you can sell 10 units of and the whole package is paid for.

At that cost pricing you could even do wholesale and still have a good mark up.

The "Toy Chest" designs are not on our web site, but we plan to change that in the near future. Someone sent me to a site that sells finished Doll Houses and his prices were $255.00 I was shocked. So maybe selling our Doll House plans for $49.95 (by the way we are going to add furniture with the plans) will allow the maker a quick ROI.

I hope to earn your confidence to feel comfortable trying our patterns to pay for that laser you have purchased :-) 

I remade the F-15 to cut out of 6 sheets of 4' X 8' pieces of plywood that will allow it to be over 9 feet in length. When I get the pictures I'll post them. I plan to make full size printed plans for the woodworkers out there. Imagine a Tank playhouse ( A man's/ childs dream, a mother's nightmare) >.< 

Debbie:

Way off the thread but if you're doing horsey stuff don't forget stable signs. You can buy the cedar cheap and it lasers very well.

My client purchased this as a gift for her teen age daughter.

Actually now that the cat is out of the bag, I sent the designs to a guy who has a CNC shopBot to try it out. First plan will cut out of a single 1/2" 4' X 8' sheet of plywood and make a decorative 4' foot long F-15.
With no glue needed the F-15 can be taken apart and rebuilt anywhere.

The design for the almost 10 foot long F-15 is first going to be cut out of High Density foam to make it cheaper and so it can be easily moved,
also so we can check the dimensions.

I don't know about you, but the bigger the TOY the bigger my smile B-) 

I hope I can convince a few individuals to try my designs with their CNC machines, maybe I'll find a CNC company who will want to include our designs with every CNC sale??? :P 

Of course our main customers are the Laser Owners.

I'm guessing the best way to sell the "Toy Chest" items would be to supply all the parts as a kit (or more of a puzzle!) with instructions? These would be awesome as Christmas gifts!

I can see it now.....Daddy trying to put the Victorian Doll House together on Christmas Eve!!! The kids better put out a lot of cookies for "Santa"!!! >.< 

It goes without saying that the commode is fully functional!!! Right!?! :O 

I suggest the dads begin building long before Christmas Eve! What great projects for the kids!
