Depends. These took me about 8 hours a piece. Not including the design process which was a bit more. Needless to say I'm not the faster solder or wire guy on the planet.

Appropriately and by sheer coincidence, I just got into time lapse photography. Here's my first vid. It's terrible!

Did I make this video to satisy Etsy's ridiculous expectations (that aren't documented anywhere)? NO! Did I make it because it's fun? YES!

The problem here is that Etsy isn't my boss or my manager. That's the whole reason I sell through them. I want to avoid someone looking over my shoulder to make sure I'm working all the time or working within their absurd guidelines.

This is the question I really want to discuss about Etsy. Obviously, I'm against the radical approach to just closing stores based solely on suspicion!
