Sounds great, and things are looking very nice so far. Keep up the good work. I think you’ve got something special with this product.
I’m still working on getting the right size parts for the project Legyoyo and I are working on. Not to worry, I’m on the case. It will be worth the wait Legyoyo. I will catch up with you guys a bit later today…things got busy with work.
I saw your post Bcmaddog. You should really re-do the bracelet with out the flaws, take a picture, and then repost it. Never post substandard work and make excuses. You need to put only your best foot forward.
^lol you guys. I was combining our forum names too! XD

Funny stuff! But I guess we will have to think more about what to call them. Perhaps simply “TotalArtist edition Legyoyo holster”. Or we can name it something cool, and have “LxTA” beside it’s name everywhere! Like the OD X ILYY Sakura.
Rob is giving great advice here. If you post in this thread, BC, you know all the criticism is well intended. If you post outside of this thread, keep in mind that the “haters” we discussed earlier are lurking. Some of the outside criticism is constructive, but some not. You may never know which is which. Make sure you are 110% confident in the looks and price. I recommend posting in the BST when you are ready. That way, you bump it yourself…no comments allowed, and only those interested can PM you. Until they change the rules in the manufacturer section, haters can comment in your thread. You don’t want that nonsense when it gets to a point where you are selling things. Those interested can PM, those who are not will hopefully take their business and attention in another direction. If they want to hate…they can generate their own thread for it.
The reality is that some people will like your product, and some not. It happens with every product in existence. Never take it to heart. I happen to love the bracelet from the photos and will wear mine to the next contest.
The camouflage looks like a tighter weave. When you get that consistent, and decide how to size them, looks like you will be on your way. Snafu seems skilled with paracord too. You, Snafu and Legyoyo might need a collab next. You and Legyoyo can even do a BC x Legyoyo Pack…YYE holster and bracelet…for the low price of $20 shipped.
I’m trying to get to 300 followers in Instagram. When I do, I will plug you and Legyoyo with a post to celebrate. By then, you should be up and running, and me and Legyoyo will be done with our project. That will assist with marketing.
This is all great stuff going on! Certainly awesome to have somebody point out these things and coach you along the birth stage of business. When I started I had no idea what I was doing, haha. So remember bc… Be thankful for TA and snafu, and RobK, and the rest. They’re great people giving you a chance not many can have
And TA: what would you like to call our collab? And any eta on when things will start rolling? I mean, no rush, I understand being busy Just curious
that’s awesome! Haha, totally legit… What do you think TA?
Thanks Legyoyo. I will be PMing you some photos of the metal parts ordered later today. I think you’ll like them. Part of the problem was me waiting to count the parts I need for my next run of holders. I’m out of stock on a lot of colors so I have to make another run soon. I ordered all parts at once (the ones for the leather and for our project too) to save on shipping. But, it delayed things a bit. It will be worth the wait though. I appreciate your patience, and will forward you pics later today.
No problem like I said, I understand the whole delay thing. But I’ll look forward to seeing the pics! I’m pretty excited about doing the collab product! I hope others are getting psyched too!
Hmmm…since this will be released under your company, I like:
Legyoyo X TotalArtist Edition, Legyoyo Holster. That way, people will know it’s made as one of yours with a TotalArtist twist to it. I think this will be a lot of fun. I enjoyed seeing the possible names.
By the way, the pics I PMed you, the place where the paracord fits through the carabiner and trigger is a half inch. I think that gives enough space without allowing the paracord to slide left and right a lot. You seem to loop 2 strands of paracord through the carabiner, so that seems like enough space…without too much space.
Awesome! Legyoyo x TotalArtist it is! (LxTA, I’m subbing the official abbreviation in case anyone wants to casually mention it some time/where
And I got the pm. Both looked like they’d work nicely, but as I mentions, since I’m actually familiar with option two, that’s what I’m more confident in fitting perfectly thanks:)
Yes B.C. I think starting with that one for the first run is great. Then, you can explore more designs from there. Once I get the prototype, I’ll take lots of photos, and you can choose from a bunch for your thread, Instagram, or whatever you choose.
Its great for us homeschoolers because we have alot of free time to make stuff and stuff. Of course i don’t know how to make anything or sell anything, so it doesn’t really matter for me. I just watch tv, go on the internet, and yoyo… Never anything productive… Hahaha
