STICKS AND STONES WORKSHOP

We chose to spend this new found "free time" on learning a new skill. We purchased a CNC Laser Engraver and learned how it worked. We spent many hours testing it to understand it's capabilities and limitations. From their, we made gifts for family members and friends and began posting them on our social media accounts. At this point, we started getting requests from people to purchase things from us. I saw this as an opportunity for the kids to learn how businesses work. We track the material costs, overhead (electricity, machine depreciation, etc.), and labor. We try to keep our prices as low as possible. The intent is not to have a side business to make extra money; instead, it is to learn and provide people with products at a fair price.
