WoodMarvels.com April 2012 Review

Jon Off CNCKing.com News,

I thought not much happened in April but I was wrong looking back – which is why it’s important to review things monthly! I got a 3D industrial animation project so my rendering queue for WoodMarvels.com was put on hold until it was done so I now have a even larger glut of CNC projects waiting the time of day!

April 2012 Happenings!

WoodMarvels.com was featured on ShopoBot Tools website!
Baidu (Chinese equivalent to Google) lists WoodMarvels.com #1 under laser project (Chinese language doesn’t have plurals btw) and Yahoo answers send me some traffic love too!
I did a trial test for Zopim and then joined them for a year – it’s great to be able to solve customer issues and questions realtime on the site, I’m not always there but when I am – an enjoyable experience all around.
Reached 2 000 000 video views and got a huge shipment of much needed clamps!
Released some new CNC models including David’s CNC Bobcat, Dolphin, Phil’s CNC Die Coaster Puzzle,
I wrote about my backlog of 8 CNC projects (that’s now 12!), my pet peeve with paid design submission contests, the release of my wife’s Chinese language book with wooden toys no less and the upcoming release (now released) Straddle Carrier B CNC project.
My association with Hogar Rafael Ayau
WoodMarvels.com will slowly be going Chinese (don’t worry, English isn’t going anywhere)
Finally, revisited the never boring ideas as to my sales method here on the site.

Goals for May 2012

Get this glut of CNC projects released! In the meantime, the laser end of things is piling-up as well… Hell would be reincarnated as my computer, it never rests! New workstation can’t happen soon enough!
