I was expecting the month of August to be a little slow but as you can see from the WoodMarvels.com, that prediction never came to fruition! I decided to begin selling our EPS files, got a bunch of blueprints available for direct download and continued the video conversion into HD while updating many older models. Youtube also began replacing Blip as our main streaming video provider. The work wasn’t much fun but a necessary evil, in addition, many blueprints were made free as well!
So what happened over the month of August?
- EPS’ed a number of files such as the Zulu Main Battle Tank, Medieval Castle Walls, Bus, Rusk Fortress, Mobile Crane B, Amazing Train, Ferris Wheel, Straddle Carrier B, Submarine, Mayan Temple Bank, Pterodactyl, Elephant and Rhino, Dolphin, Bread Crumb Tray, Cantilever Side Table, both Future Cars, Whale, Dinosaur Collection, Helicopter, Piper, Cessna, Gaming Table B, Marble Game, Trip Game, Crab, Brontosaurus, Centrosaurus, Four-in-a-Row Game, Super Snail, Parasaurolophus, Pyramid Calendar, Stegosaurus, Abstract Bank B (also redesigned), Bank Feeder A (also redesigned), Halloween Guillotine Tray, Halloween Sword Shelf, Halloween Serving Coffin, Slice Chair, Bed Tray and Table (also redesigned), Volcano Bank (also redesigned) and finally, Bird Feeder B (redesigned as well)
