  • Had a blast working and leading up to the Idle Hands Craft show in Ottawa, Ontario that I do every year. This year I decided to document as much of the process as I could and analyze the amount of time and money that went into the process.

    Craftshow videos like this one that include profit with time/cost breakdowns are so satisfying to watch! The paddle is awesome and I didn't think a big ticket item like that would sell as well as it did.

    I am always here for the process videos and I am here 1000x for cost/profit breakdowns! Love the transparency. I really need to get my hands on on of your paddles. I know these are works of art but you know I would use it to stir up our wood fired hot tub and it would do a good job propelling our dinged up Grumman canoe

    I really enjoy your social media posts showing your progress on all the different projects. I wouldn’t have known about Idle Hands if not for your feed. I think it’s pretty honest and real, to talk about the imposter syndrome. I can see from your video that the people of Ottawa certainly validated your work with sold out show. I adore that you showcase Amber as well. Such a great team and support for each other. I have admired your work for some time now, and was inspired to make my own paddle at OCW. My bestie and I canoe in the summer and I would be so pleased to be able to give her one of yours so we could each have a hand made paddle when we go out together.
    Thanks for all your hard work, and for supporting other talented artists and makers. It certainly does not go unnoticed. Cheers!

    Thanks for breaking it down... your comments as you drove to the show about "imposter syndrome" really struck home as we are so often our own worst critics. Congrats on a good sale. I'd be interested to hear how you settled on some of your prices.
    I don't drink coffee and I make my own paddles, so that means I'd pick a knife. Though I'd probably have more fun with some of those prepared skateboard blanks and make my own paddle! Thanks for sharing your work!

    I enjoy watching your videos. You remind me of an old friend (who am I kidding, all my friends are old!). Ted, my friend back in the 60's, 70's & 80's thought like you in the way he would take "junk" that others were throwing away and make art out of it. He made a descent living doing it and during the time he lived at my place he also made us a garden we still use today.
    Please carry on my young friend, you bring back some great times for an old man.
    I hope your very successful in your life!

    Epic video as always! I just had a market at a local brewery and did much better than I thought I would. I wish I had kept track of all the hours I put in to see my actual rate. Markets always remind me that at least someone else is interested in what I'm working on. As for your products, I would love a coffee tamper. I have a lathe that I'm just figuring out and hope to make some eventually. I would give yours to my local coffee house that's about 2 blocks from me. 🤙🤙 Much love from Ohio!

    I love this process video. Seeing the breakdown of time and cost as well and your wage at the end was super helpful. I’ve thought about taking my art/craft to the point of sales, and this is a great help. Also, I always love watching anything you do. I would love ANYTHING you make, and will for sure buy from you in the future. If I was lucky enough to win, I suppose I’d use and display the paddle first, then the knife then the tamper, but I’d be grateful for any. The story behind the items is what I’d share with family/friends. I’m sure my fellow old highschool skater/punk friends would be most impressed. TLDR- Just love your art!
