My new web site is online. If anyone's interested is stuff from Ecuador, there are some nice things down here and we'll ship it to you. We'll be expanding our inventory in the near future so what we have is a pretty good start, thanks in part to a wood carver/artisan here who's let us feature his inventory. We can do alpaca clothing, Panama hats (All Panama hats come from Ecuador as they are named for where us Euro-gringos discovered them). The wool jackets are very nice -- heavy and warm, as are the wraps. The lobster carving is especially cool. Just about everything would be a very nice gift item. Anyway wish us luck and any questions, comments on improvements or things on our site are quite welcome! There is a lot more here than what we show so we might be able to get something strange if you ask, like smoking pipes, jewelry made from watermelon seeds, decorative swords made from sword fish snouts and things like that.

You aren't part redneck are you? Seriously, I have bookmarked this, and wish you much luck in your enterprise, and peace.

hehehe, it wasn't my idea. But those things really are decorative. They paint them up and put lots of artwork into the hilts and they are 2 or 3 feet long. Hardly strong enough to open letters, but some people like them. Thanks much.

This is a first to me! I never knew forums that promoted ads for merchants.
Been to that part of the world a lot. Your mark up is 600% to 1000% and the buyer pays shipping? on airport souvenirs at that ! PT Barnum says its simply amazing ...
I make a 600 to 1000 percent markup on items bought here in the US--it's more common than you'd think. That being said, it's not surprising that things cost more in America than they do in a place where the average wage is what, $4 a day?
The "Department of Defense" has never won a war. The "War Department" was undefeated.
I wish it were that much! But you obviously haven't been here in quite a while, if ever. The prices shown are not much markup at all. The sale prices shown won't get us by in the long run (unless we can find more direct suppliers) The truely interested can compare it with stuff on ebay and see. There certainly are cheesey souvenirs to be had here, as anywhere else, but of course we avoid those. Handcrafts made by indians here as well as the alpaca materials are not in that class. Of course the buyer pays shipping. Buyers always pay all incidental costs. Have you never run a business? For someone who has lots of opinions about economic matters you seem a bit shortsighted. But thanks for commenting, o' perfect one.

$40 million portfolio; 275 employees reporting directly; import/domestic. I think so. I also know where to buy the items you reference and how much to pay. You need to get farther into the back country and not depend of the bigger city wholesalers. Good luck.
If true, then you should know that customers always pay incidental costs, like shipping. Always. So (no) thank you for the intentionally disparaging comments, sir.

Nice looking web site and an interesting assortment of items. Pardon my dumb question but do you live down there full-time now?
I think so. Did you lose it all when you went nuts? Is that why you are on the net all day nowdays?

Can you get these guys to carve things at your direction? One thing you could do is produce carved Stratocaster bodies. There is a guy around here who makes a living doing that. He can sell all he can make, but he does it as a sideline and doesn't make that many. You can make the blanks yourself or order them from Stewart Macdonald. There seems to be a market for this sort of thing. The good thing about guitar stuff is there are lots of good ways to advertise it in a very focused manner, e.g., the NAM shot, the guitar mags, etc.
.
Yes, I'm here permanently now. Not even sure when I'll be visiting the states again.
Pinguinite.com EcuadorTreasures.ec
He told me he could, so I'll inquire about the Stratocaster bodies. I trust a light but hard wood is preferable. Does "body" include the neck?
Pinguinite.com EcuadorTreasures.ec
Very cool - best wishes on this venture.
Can items be special ordered, Neil.....what I'm thinking is like the Sea Horse Set BUT not painted. Just the bare wood? For one thing, my bathroom is done in wood and these could be hung in there as a nice decorative touch. OR, I would prefer to paint to my own color scheme? Would this hold true on some of the other items? I find the carved crabs interesting--and would think just plain unpainted or tinted ones would be most attractive. I love the alpaca and wool things. I had a girlfriend in Montana whose father assisted missionaries in Peru each summer. He'd fly materials in that their church provided for the people. While he was there one year, he had an alpaca jacket made for my girlfriend. Pam always said it was so warm, and not so overly heavy, bulky or confining that she couldn't do her chores and stuff in it. He also brought her home a wall hanging done with colored fibers from alpacas--I believe they used native dyes. It was beautiful--she hung in on the staircase landing wall.
I never knew forums that promoted ads for merchants. You really need to get a life. Before inserting foot in mouth, perhaps you should shut mouth, sit back, and engage brain in slow enough gear before making some statements or jumping to conclusions or making assumptions which are not based in fact.
Re alpaca jackets and sweaters....see my reply to Neil.
No, just the body. There is already a whole industry building necks. Google Stratocaster neck and you can buy them by the ton. Look at Stew Mac. There are a lot of woods that will work. You need to call an expert to find out. The use a lot of swamp ash here, but there are others that work as well or better. Zeta Violin uses other exotic tone woods. Lots of guys build custon solid bodies and I would just find a few on the web and ask them what they would like to see. You might have a line on a wood that is hard for them go get. You can just build a strat if you want. You can order everything you need off the web. They are designed for mass production. No tight tolerances anywhere. The neck bolts on and is adjusted with shims. The only thing you can't buy is a neck with a fender decal on it.
.
Seriously, you need to get some help for your self esteem problems. Your constant crowing about how great you are and your constant efforts to tear down normal people who are doing things that interest others just highlights your childish jealousy, your insecurity and, quite frankly, you mental illness. In other words, it doesn't make you look good. Most nine year olds understand this - you need to get some professional help so that you too can understand this. Everyone here can see you taking the Fahey/TLBSHOW road to mental health - if it fails miserably for you the first time, and if it makes you a laughing stock out of you the first time, then try doing it again and again and again - putting a greater effort into each attempt. If people took you seriously, do you think you would be getting the constant digs that you get? How many others get kicked as often as you do? I'll answer that: None. That should tell you something.
.
Yes, we should be able to get sea horses in just bare wood. Yes, we should be able to get crabs without paint as well, and at less price, of course. We'll ask about these. On my first trip here I bought a bunch of the wool jackets back as gifts and pretty much everyone reported getting compliments on them. Those are wool, not alpaca. But they are a thick weave, come in all kinds of colorful designs and are very warm. Can't call them sweaters though since they are much more durable than normal sweaters. They are for general outdoor use. There are plenty of alpaca fur wall hangings, some quite large, but I've not seen any that were dyed. Natural colors are white and dark brown, and I've seen hangings that use both colors to create depictions of people unicorns, landscapes and that sort of thing. The one we have is straight brown and is on the smaller side. I've seen nice artistic ones that are about 4' x 6' or thereabouts.

Hey, JC, this website is Neil's wonderful software and it's Neil who makes sure that it runs well. There wouldn't be Freedom4um without Neil. I'm very dependent on him. He's an "Associate" and friend and, therefore, welcomed to share with us his new project. ;)
You have mail....
Good to know, thanks.

Neat stuff, Neil. I especially like the ships, but being as they are balsa I don't know how long they'd last once kitty discovered she could send them sailing. I'll have to think on it some more.

All animals are equal. Some animals are just more equal than other animals. - George Orwell
.. I do know exactly where the quote is from..that was not to what I was referring..
he means that he objects to the fact that we are familiar with, like & respect Pinguinite. Pinguinite is more equal than others is what he's saying in 1984 lingo. he feels it is illegitimate and wants to say so without saying it directly. in other words, what others have said, that he is a troll here to make us look stupid, confuse us, etc. is correct. a zionist-type shill messing with the goy. that is why he won't spell out what he means to us. because we're inferior in his mind and he enjoys the air of contempt towards us.

for setting you straight.
.
I think Red has it. JCHarris is upset because people respect Penguinite and
they think JCHarris is a dumbass jerk. What JCHarris doesn't understand is
that Penguinite earns his respect through his actions. And it's this obvious
lack of understanding that prompted me to tell JCH to seek professional help.
JCH is pouting because he feels he should be able to act like a prick and
still be liked and respected. JCH feels he is "not equal" because when he acts
like a prick, people treat him like a prick. Hence the whine: "Some
animals are more equal than others".
.
See post #36 above. It was meant for you. But it's probably just as well it's posted to JCHarris - he needs to read it.
.
And another thing. Penguinite has done a tremendous amount for this site. Without him, the place wouldn't exist. He doesn't bother people here and he doesn't ask for a lot in return. If he wants to talk about his new project, why the hell should you care prick? The other people like it. Just read the thread above. Is anyone else complaining? If you don't like the thread, don't read the thread. But it isn't that is it. You are angry because Penguinite is getting the spotlight with his thread - and drawing attention away from your insecure, childish self. That is the real problem isn't it. So you throw a fit and attack. And everyone can see what is going on. Is it any wonder that everyone thinks you are a disfunctional nut?
.
Well I guess since hes not responded and you've interpreted for me.. sounds like this is the best explanation ..

Dillard's will sell you a sweater they originally retailed for $60 for $8 when they really have to move the merchandise and even at that I do not believe they are selling it under their direct cost. And that's when I buy it. Course they have lost $$$ on that article after housing it in their very fine store staffed with great overhead.

Might interest you to know that the best alpaca wool is a very fine fiber underneath the main coat of the animal. It is analogous to the down feathers from geese, as opposed to the main outer protective feathers. Very nice stuff, the best in the world according to many in the wool industry. Except for , IIRC, Vicuna (sp) wool, but outrageously priced as the animals are not domesticated.

LOL, tom.........I used to raise longwooled sheep, with crosses on merinos, as well as angora goats for mohair; and produced a monthly newsletter devoted to producers as well as fiber consumers. Did lots of articles on various fibers, i.e., llama, alpaca, dog==even knew of a Swedish lady who made jackets with dog hair--can't remember what breed she had--but super warm. Expensive, as she had to pick out the guard hairs for the downy undercoat. I even had some of my angoras microned. One of the bucks I had actually microned equivalent to baby mohair. He was one little mohair making machine-- and only had sex on his mind. Horniest little bastard I've ever seen! LOL. Some of the ladies I knew used rabbit fur. We even did articles on guard animals, i.e, Great Pyrenees, llamas, donkeys--even heifers (beef cattle types) were good running with sheep. Anyways, while I can't remember all the details on fineness, I believe cashmere fits in as probably the ultimate in microning. I believe vicunas, guanacos, alpacas, and llamas are of the same animal family, i.e., camelids. Don't hold me to it, but those three are related, and I vaguely recall them being classified with camels.

Count on it, that is correct. As a wooly, can you share your thought on the cashimere being the "down" of the alpaca fur?

If memory serves me well, cashmere is the fine, inner hair of angora crossed goats and/or naturally occuring in breeds/cross breds. At one time, I was contemplating getting some 'goats' and breeding my two mohair bucks to them to try to develop some cashmere bearing goats. They can be used for weed control, so there would have been a dual use of them. I know I have tons of this sort of information stuck out in boxes in storage. I was doing that newsletter in the mid to late 80s. I decided against the cashmere because of the lack of consistent purchasers. They wanted to argue too much between what they would call cashmere and what they wouldn't. They wanted to go beyond micro sizing. It was enough that I was the mover and shaker behind organizing the Montana Mohair Producers Assn in order to develop a mohair market, transport system, and selling of excess livestock. I want to say cashmere micron is perhaps something like .12. My little mohair buck was something like .17 or .18. So you can see it was even a good bit finer than kid mohair which is one of the ultra fibers. Again, this is all memory. As to fibers, merino wool or rambouillet wool is supposed to be the finest of wools. And instead of micron count, they use crimp or something like that. I had a merino that had a count under that system of around 75. Very very soft. I raised Romney and cross breds for the long colored wool. It was woundrous and soft, but the count was something like 50 - 55. More than the actual crimp or micron is how the fiber is processed....how the individual fibers are laid out for spinning and weaving textiles. Even a fine merino wool can 'itch' if the fabric has fibers lying the wrong way--it is in the combing process. With all that said, I much preferred to raise the critters, have them shorn, clean the fleeces, and show them or sell them. I concentrated on handspinning markets, though I must say the wool buyer for the wool pool I was in told me he would buy every pound of wool I could raise that was like the fleeces from two of my merino/romney cross ewes. He preferred them over the columbia, rambouillet or merino straightbreds. A lot of the spinning ladies didn't like working with really fine fibers--they generally have to add oil to them because they are dryer than wool. Ag
The good stuff. I had a sweater and wore it until it dissipated. Warm in the cold and breathing in the warm. Really the best material.
"The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men" Plato
One of the reasons cashmere is so costly is due to the 'guard hairs' that have to be removed from the fleece. I don't recall at the time I was interested that anyone had developed a sure fire way to separate them from the cashmere. Its sort of like the black hair that gets into a sheep's fleece. It can ruin a whole run of fabric because it does not dye the same, does not lie the same, etc. Its because of the core of the interior of the individual fibers, as I recall. Medullation? Well...anyways. And just because you have a goat, say the momma, that has cashmere, doesn't mean that all of her offspring will have cashmere. :( So its the pits until you get a herd developed.
They are very light, and probably wouldn't stand up to a giant feline attack for more than 15 seconds or so. Definitely something to keep on a high shelf if you have a cat.

Okay, in a few minutes searching I've not found any woods listed that are generally available here, but I don't know much about this business so I think I would need to talk to the right people. I do know teak is used for acoustic instruments and there's a source of that here. Very interesting possibilities. Thanks. I'm certain the bodies can be made here. Just a question of whether the wood is acceptable.
Pinguinite.com EcuadorTreasures.ec
Thank you Chrissy! ;^)
Pinguinite.com EcuadorTreasures.ec
Exactly right. Vicuna (with the spanish 'n~') is not domesticated and can only be sheered once every 3 years. The fiber is so good the animals don't need to grow it quickly to stay warm, hense both it's rarity and quality. It's a protected animal in these parts. I don't expect to have that but... we'll see.
Pinguinite.com EcuadorTreasures.ec
It's a protected animal in these parts. I don't expect to have that but... we'll see. Hard to imagine anything being better than cashmere, I had a button up sweater, frayed and delapidated years ago, it was easy to tell the material was superior.
"The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men" Plato
I bot one of those really heavy sweaters from the Otavelo (sp) markets years ago (1984) and when it is really cold here that's what I wear. It has all kinda of straw in the wool,and smells like sheep, but damm if you want warm that is the the article to wear. Think I paid all of $5.00 in the currency crisis of 1983.
"The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men" Plato
Have yet to see any thing of that description. All the wool jackets we've seen are straight wool and smell fine.

Neil is that you? I'm interested in an alpaca wrap, I'm thinking it's a shawl of some kind? That would be great to wear in the house during winter here. I don't like wool though as it's itchy, I'm thinking alpaca would be softer?
There is a lady's sweater blue and a lady's sweater copper. Are those alpaca?

Yes, it's me, Neil. Yes, it's really a shawl. It's the kind of thing you'd through around yourself when your watching TV, reading a book, or out on the porch on a cool evening. Alpaca is very soft. Very. Nothing like wool at all.
Pinguinite.com EcuadorTreasures.ec
Pipes? They have pipes down there? Someone can carve me one? Meershaum? Boy, that would be nice!

Hi Diana, They are a blend of alpaca and cotton.
Pinguinite.com EcuadorTreasures.ec
There are lots of pipes, big and small of many different types of art, some of which is kindof strange, to put it mildly. Meershaum, however, doesn't appear to be native to this continent so I doubt we'd be able to get anything made of that. Those I've seen here are made of woods, bamboo and ceramics. There is a white nut here (tagua) that is very commonly used for art carvings, and it would probably resemble polished Meershaum, but I'd guess it is not suitable for use since as an organic material probably wouldn't stand up to the heat. As a pipe, tagua is likely probably good only for show.
Pinguinite.com EcuadorTreasures.ec
The prices are really good, I'm going to buy a wrap and one of those wool jackets with zipper and hood, those are really nice looking. Those would be great to wear in the house in winter here, dress warm and save on heating oil which is super expensive and keeps going up.
Both the jackets and shawl are very nice. As I think I mentioned on the thread, most everyone I gifted the jackets to in the past have reported getting compliments on them. We're definitely going to get more of those in. I expect they will sell quite well.

That would be great to wear in the house during winter here. I don't like wool though as it's itchy, I'm thinking alpaca would be softer?

There is a lady's sweater blue and a lady's sweater copper. Are those alpaca?

Pipes? They have pipes down there? Someone can carve me one? Meershaum? Boy, that would be nice!

The prices are really good, I'm going to buy a wrap and one of those wool jackets with zipper and hood, those are really nice looking.
