    You should wear one of the butterfly earrings in your next project video. :)

    What is the device on the back of your hat? I assume it's a remote microphone, but it works really well, if that's what it is.

    • @JayBates

      Wireless microphone transceiver. Microphone plugs into it and sends signal to the receiver. I have a wired microphone clipped to the rim of my hat with the wire on top of my head.

    This video echos the old saying "find something you enjoy doing, and you'll never work a day in your life". I'm glad to hear that your ladies are doing well with their business. On a side note, I didn't hear the helicopter noise over my speakers. I backed up the video, and didn't hear it over my headset. To add an asterisk to that, I do have a fair amount of hearing loss. GREAT VIDEO!!!

    I have so many scraps and I always want to do earrings. But I haven’t yet. I really need to get on the ball with that.
    Great video. I love that she’s went down this rabbit hole. And…. How she’s running it. It’s a business… but it’s more hobby based and it sounds like she’s having fun with it.

      ​@JayBates I think they mean that if she markets the earrings as ornaments (maybe mini-ornaments, I'd say) and they may sell faster than as earrings.

    Mate the project you made with the wolf and the deer - you should try to add small LEDs to it... My guess is it would get a ton of attention for being different... Just an idea to think of... Great piece of artwork - love the channel.

    Hi, Jay. I've watched you for a while and always enjoy your videos. I went to your wife's site because I kind of liked the font on the Fairlynn acrylic light at 7:48. Unfortunately, the fonts aren't listed. Would you know what it is? Thanks!

    Boxes, satchels, bubblewrap, scrunchie paper, and other forms of packaging are often an after thought for sellers. But a little creativity and branding really increases the appeal of the product.

    One major asterisk that is actually a big deal is your channel. You already have a following and when you mention it, it makes a bit impact. Not sure what kind of following she has either but just for a Joe blow couple it could be not as realistic to make these numbers.
