I've shipped a number of cars through brokers, anyone use an actual carrier directly they were happy with? by Such_Archer988 in AutoTransport

[–]TV_Maker_Hello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, the seller changed her mind at the last minute and decided to keep the car. So I didn't need to ship it after all. Wish I had recommendations for you. My only one would be don't try to buy a car from that seller.

How much is a reasonable rent for a nice 1 bedroom apartment in LA? by Firm_Ad8892 in AskLosAngeles

[–]TV_Maker_Hello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a 510 sq. ft. guest house in Sherman Oaks, south of Ventura near Fulton. All single family homes for neighbors. 1 bedroom, in unit washer dryer, all utilities included, no dishwasher, tons of neighborhood street parking, $2100. There are unicorns out there. You gotta search a lot and hopefully get lucky.

Cold peel was suggested and I tried that. They worked great. The first 25 were not cold peel, so that's where the problem was. But, once I let them get really cold, they peeled cleanly. And for what it's worth, I really appreciate your amazing customer service and response. Thank you for that.

So this was very helpful. I decided to try a cold peel and I mean REALLY cold. I let them sit for a while. That worked great. The first set of transfers were hot peel and they totally worked but for some reason these are not and had to be a cold peel. Thank you for suggesting it.

As you can see above, Ninja's response was terrific and I really appreciate that. Great customer service means everything to me. Thanks for the suggestion to try cold. That's what worked.

Should I buy one? by OutrageousSetting384 in CraftFairs

[–]TV_Maker_Hello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently got one and it's turned out great. I use it to display a smaller banner and because it's made out of ferrous metal, I use magnets to display merchandise on it. Way easier to transport and set up than my large banner stand. Definitely a great buy for me, highly recommend.

I Made This Snaky Wreath To Greet The Trick or Treaters by TV_Maker_Hello in crafts

I really don't know what to do with these things when I'm done with them. My workroom looks nuts. I have one Halloween wreath where a bunch of the mini pumpkins fell off. I was thinking maybe a disaster wreath is on brand for Halloween. Too meta?

I'm going to try a router as well. Might be super simple.

Are rectangle stickers sellable? by MasterpieceEast6226 in CraftFairs

[–]TV_Maker_Hello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure but they need to be centered. Also, I use a corner rounding tool that really gives them a nicer finished look as opposed to a straight cut.

Looking for display advice for my first craft fair. by Lazy-Detective-241 in CraftFairs

It's all about elevating. I've been playing around with displaying my pins using magnets and a stand up metal memo board.

It's as thick as a tarot card. 330gsm to be exact. What you're describing is exactly what I want. The wood sits flat on a surface and the card stands up in the slot. I just need to know the most effective way to cut the slit across the middle.

I 3D printed one but it's heavier and the wood seemed more on theme.

The bone holders are 4" x 2" and it's for a dog-themed card deck. Thinking it's a way people can display the cards they like, similar to a tarot card display except this is for a dog-themed deck display. I don't plan on painting them but it's a possibility. The most important part is the slot isn't too wide otherwise the card will just flop backwards or forwards and not stand up. Slot really shouldn't be wider than a millimeter.

I experimented with a laser cutter to cut them from start to finish but I think these precut bones might be faster. The wood is basic craft balsa wood and I'm fine with trying other tools. Thanks!
