This is not a simple question to answer. Typically I would say no. I am a school teacher by day and a YouTuber/prop maker/small business owner/video editor/photo editor by night. So I don't have a lot of spare time in my schedule. I have done commission for special circumstances or if the pay is worth my time.

I do. Currently, my prop selling is run through an Esty shop. It is linked up at the top. If an item is no listed on there, more than likely it has already been sold.

Sorry, no. Once an item sells in my shop, that is it. I do not bulk-manufacture anything. Etsy is just a way for me to get rid of my builds from videos that I make on YouTube. Prop-making is a hobby to me right now. I build for fun, not to make a salary.

LOL, no. I fund my hobby off of the sale of what I build and other various avenues of support. Giving things away for free means I can’t build or continue making videos.

I list out all of my materials used in the video, in the description below the video. If the video has a template, it is also listed on the cover page of that template.

99% of the time the issue is not my pattern link, it i the device you are trying to use. My patterns are saved as PDFs, making them more accessible to a wider range of operating systems. Chances are the device you are using does not support PDFs. An easy fix is usually to download an extension or app for your device. Cell phones, tablets, and some Chromebooks are usually the ones with issues.

I have spoken at a couple over the past couple of years. I do not actively look for ones to speak to. My day job as a teacher limits where and when I could be a guest at one. My summers from June to August are usually open, but for all other months of the year, I would need to know well in advance and make special arrangements with my work to attend one.

I do. Please understand that I have received around 30 to 40 requests a week, for the past 7 years across YouTube and my other social media accounts. Requests are always accepted and looked into but I cannot guarantee I can build it. Spamming requests on all my videos does not encourage me to fulfill your request, it makes it less likely to ever be built by me.

I have uploaded every Friday to YouTube for the past 7 years. So unless my upload day changes, or I have issues, the answer is Friday.

I do. Like a lot of YouTubers, I use Teespring. It is integrated into the channel and has a shop tab somewhere at the top of my channel home page. I also try and link it in the description of the videos. I do not directly handle the product or its manufacturing, so if you have an issue with a purchase, refer to Teesprings.

I also have merch tins on my Etsy that I have made myself. It has some laser cut things I have made, some vinyl iron-ons, and other various things.
