Inside dimensions? 5 1/4 x 2 1/4x about 3" but it varies a bit..
I'm not selling them yet. I'm still deciding if I am going to put the logo image on with a small branding iron or a cheap laser etcher/cutter..
Both cost about the same, but there's no moving parts to break with the iron as opposed to the laser..
I realized that nobody will buy just the box, but they'll buy the logo/art work that has Weedstache on it.. Never underestimate the silliness of people's discretionary income spending habits.. I'm probably going to aim for a $20 price, but I can go a bit less..
I'm considering selling them on Edsy and other venues, but I'm not opposed to selling wholesale though various distributors. If I go wholesale my unit price will have to drop significantly and I'll need several other items not to mention the ability to crank out hundreds per day every day..
I'm not destitute and not particularly wanting to have to work 90 hours a week to make one box at a time..
My design has chanded a bit to using just a dado slot instead of miters and splines.. That's too labor intensive and too many things can go wrong cutting little miters on small pieces..the dado slot is simple, strong and much easier to assemble.
I'm also considering buying premade boxes and stamping my logo on them..There's quite a few companies that manufacture them..
But hey, if anyone wants a box made without a logo, just a small hardwood box feel free to drop me an email @ amello.m.59@gmail.com with whatever it is you want and I'll give you a price quote. I'm in South Carolina so shipping isn't much and they weigh just a few ounces. I'm guessing around 12 oz, but it might be a bit more..The cardboard box is probably going to be the heaviest part..
I'm not carving things into them simply because it's time consuming and I don't have good carving skills, but I do know people who might be interested in doing that part for the right price..They ain't gonna work cheap though.. I might invest in a small CNC setup at some point, but I'm not there yet.
