How did I get started?

I’m going to explain to you how I started my business and went down this road. It started out with me talking to one of my friends and he told me about this thing called Walmart liquidation pallets. I talked to a guy who had experience and he helped me pick out my first liquidation pallet. I bought a pallet with lots of speakers from Walmart and I went and picked it up, sorted through it, and sold it on marketplace. From lack of experience, I only made $200 on my first pallet. The second pallet I bought included 16 vacuums for $180! They all worked great and I ended up making close to $1000 off of this pallet. With that profit I saw a cnc machine on marketplace for a great deal.

I decided to buy it the next day. I originally intended to use it to make American ninja warrior obstacles for my backyard. I then saw an engraved keychain and decided I could do that. I played around with it and found out very quickly a cnc was not the machine for this type of work.

This was one of my first keychains. Rough, right?!?😬 In the meantime I found another pallet with vacuums that I bought. While I was selling through those, I decided to buy a 3D printer.

I really loved machining and all of the designing and it was really fun. I printed some cool stuff and then it clicked I can sell these too!

This was the first Lizard I printed. I then bought better filament and prepared to sell these. My goal then became to buy a laser engraver as it was the last machine I needed to really pump through and fabricate anything I wanted. I sold some more vacuums and bought a Creality Falcon 2.

I learned how to design using light burn and spent hours figuring it out until I had all of my machines mastered. I then began work on my webpage and spent some time on that and got it all set up and that’s where we are now. I just launched my webpage and I’m excited to start. I did all of this while being a highschool student and working 25 hours a week on a regular job. I spend every waking hour working hard to accomplish my dreams and I hope one day it will pay off.
