Brian,
I wonder if I might email you with details of pen stands and other "marketing" aids Iam seeking to have produced. I am like you a penturner who simply does not want to just assemble kits. Consequently I have been slowly developing my own styles and contacts in china for direct import and sale of penkits some of which are of the xtreme high end variety.
I also do some daft things like make my own vacumn formers to enable me to make bubble packs to display and sell pens etc. These machines could readily be reproduced for the crafter market. Possibly with aftersales items such as moulding forms/tooling.
My problem not big enough in terms of ££££ to achieve this. I have noted your email address but will not trouble you unles you indicate an interest
Regards
Steve
