Always a pleasure to hear what you have to say. Excellent information, thanks!

Another great video. Thank you for sharing.

Great videos, thankyou for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Great video. The creation of content on the fly is difficult for most. Talking, unscripted while working is even harder! As someone who got their start doing contemporary craft shows I completely agree that it is the best sounding board and the cash in the pocket brings an exhilarating feedback loop. There is nothing like the thrill of the paint drying or the welds cooling as the work is loaded into the van prior to the roadtrip to the show. The setup frenzy followed by the artist tribe coming round to see what's new. The interactions with the buyers, collectors and general interesting people is in stark contrast to the hours spent alone in the studio. You realize you are not alone. (I guess social media fills some of that void) Then when a sale is made it means so much more. Validation. I have spent a career balancing production and one of kind work. I have had as many as 9 employees and in those days felt like I was working to keep them employed. It helps to gain a wider audience, so at times it is a necessary. Making what I want. Making for a client. (constraints are good) Pushing my skills and craft. All interest me. Unusual commissions that rhyme with your aesthetic are exciting and can lead to new areas of exploration. Thank you for your video. I'm a big fan Phillip.

We have internet banking here and for the markets we give customers the ability to pay with a bank transfer option if they don't have cash on them. There is an ATM nearby and some go and get some cash and come back but there's quite a few that will do the bank transfer.

Thank you for these videos. I have been sold out of stock for the past month and focusing on finishing up the robot series so I can move on to something more exciting. How do you balance the desire to make more inventory with the desire to create? I find myself dreading making inventory because it takes so much time away from making new things. I also am having problems deciding on a price point. I have my prices set where they need to be for me to continue to create and replace my equipment over time, but not high enough where I will be able to expand and upgrade my shop. Have you done any videos about the subject of pricing and how you evolved over time? I'm really enjoying the conversational style of this video.
