Something New is Coming

Very nice!

That looks fantastic! Did you laser cut the window inserts as well, or use a 3rd party product like Tichy?

The smaller windows in the warehouse section are laser cut basswood. The two larger windows and the door are Tichy products.

Okay. There are five kits ready to sell. I need to order more windows and wood so I can make more.

You can buy them here if you want one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/904773746/ho-scale-laser-cut-feed-store-craftsman

I would greatly appreciate any feedback you have about the kits.

Some glamor shots

Three gone already, two left. I'll be ordering more parts soon and should have another batch in a few weeks.

Very nice building! I just don't have a place for a Purina Chow building, but if you every decide to cut a GN style 3 bay engine shed, count me in!

 

[twforeman]

Sold out for now. More will be available probably after Christmas.

the building looks great. Wish I had the room for one but maybe down the road. I see you are also selling them at Hoswap@groups.io

I have mixed feelings on that group. When I first joined a few years ago, I would put something up and boom sold. Not having that success in 2020. Best to you on sales when you restock again. Quality and value are great sellers.

Thanks!

I like HOSwap in general, but mostly I've been using it for buying stuff.

I don't know if any of the sales came from there as four were made on my Etsy store and one on Facebook. I know at least one of the sales at Etsy was a member of the forum here, but I'm not sure about the other three.

In any case, the first batch got lots of interest and they all sold so I'll make up some more in a bit. I'm also thinking about some smaller models for future projects. We'll see what comes next.

Wow! I missed your post Saturday and you sold out.

 

[twforeman]

Sorry you missed it. I was a little surprised they went so fast.

There will be more. Just be patient.

Well, the building looks great and you weren’t trying to screw anybody with pricing. I think this building will be a success. Good luck.

Got mine today! Well packaged and looks to be great instructions. It'll be a bit before I get to build it; I have a few projects ahead of it. But definitely looking forward to construction. Thanks TW!!

 

[twforeman]

Just a note to those who bought this kit - due to the fact that I apparently can't add up numbers, you are going to be short one 12" stick of 1/8" square stock.

Sorry for the oversite, this will be corrected in the next batch of kits.

 

[twforeman]

Parts came in and I now have more kits available. You can PM me or order them on my Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/listing/904773746/ho-scale-laser-cut-feed-store-craftsman

The cost is $50 with free shipping in the USA. Shipping to Canada is an additional $15.

I received my kit Friday. A very nice looking kit and the packaging was absolutely great. I am not ready to build it yet, but will do so sometime towards the end of the month. Ten pages of easy to read instructions as well as a detailed BOM. If you have experience with these types of kits, this one will be a breeze. If not, the instructions are great.
Thanks Tim, you did excellent work. I am looking forward to see what you come up with next.

 

[twforeman]

Thanks Willie!

I'm open to suggestions for the next kit.

A 3 stall GN style engine house.

Wonder if they have plans in the archives... Got any particular engine house in mind?
