ABOUT PROFITHANDMADE FAMILY WORKSHOP

Where are we located?

We are from the central Ukraine, from Kremenchuk city. Yes, unfortunately from the city that has already been repeatedly subjected to putin's rocket attacks and where one of the bloody tragedies of this monstrous war took place, the bombing of the AMSTOR shopping center.

Who are we?

Hi, my name is Eugene, I am 38 years old. I am married to my wife Vitaline. We have daughter 13 years old. I am technical designer. My wife is manager.

I always try to improve all processes around me, and my daughter's felting was no exception!

And now my family has small 3d printers workshop. We use 3d printer for creation Orange Fly felting machines and other our goods. It is our hobby descended from daughters hobby.

Creation history and a few words about unscrupulous competitors:

This felting machine is not first in my activity.

I have created about 7 different machines and only one (ProfitFelt) was offered for sale about one year ago. After six months in sale, I decided to develop a new version. In ProfitFelt I was not happy with several properties. It was large, heavy, had a protective cover that made the sound very loud, had a noisy fan and many small parts. The handle was not adjustable.

I took out a piece of paper and started sketching a new model. I was inspired of minimalism principle. There were no parts in design that would not be useful.

I came up with an adjustable handle and the angle of the needle is now easy to adjust.

In this version I have applied several VERY important technical features that are not visible visually. These features makes this machine unique and reliable! No other clones and copies have such technical features.

I worked with felting artists and knew exactly what they needed. They used Orange Fly and doing it till today. They are very pleased that the machine allows hardwork for a long time and does not need lubrication.

The latest machine version has a several of significant improvements. Implemented active motor cooling. The machine is tiny, very helpful in feltingwork and save your hands joints health! Until the first sale moment, Orange Fly had been successfully tested for several months.

The first sale was on 3rd September 2020 and already on 26th September, as you can see, I got my first (5 stars) review!

Clones of my machine appeared about two months after first listing.

Fake machines was published in a competing stores, then it painted version, and only then like Orange Fly version. Everything was copied, even the best camera angles.

Orange Fly it is original felting machines!

How did we live before the war?

Before the war, we lived a normal measured happy life. I won’t say that it was easy to live in Ukraine, but we knew how to enjoy life and look for positive in everything.

We worked, studied, visited shopping centers, cinemas and rested on weekends in our country house. In our spare time, as a family, we made and sold our felting machines end other hobbygoods all over the world. We liked our hobby also because it unites the family and for everyone there is a feasible job in this hobby. I, as a technical specialist, made machines and set them up, my wife and daughter were engaged in packaging and wide world shipping.

Everything was fine until the "russian world" invaded our country and my city.

Our family patriotic position:

Since the war beginning and until now, we have been helping our armed forces.

At first, these were different tools, materials for arranging army military positions. We participated in the construction of defensive structures and since then the whole city has been in checkpoints made of sandbags and anti-tank hedgehogs, just like during the Second World War. We convinced the enemy that we are not waiting for him and we will defend our house to the last fascist who broke into our country.

As long as there was a stable income, we helped the army with money. Helped our refugees with necessary things and we supported them.

Now, as expected, to become difficult as the war dragged on. We try to participate by helping personally, doing useful things for the military.

My wife and daughter decided to stay at home and not evacuate abroad. We love our homeland so much and will defend it together.

And fortunately we have many like us, Ukrainians love their country. Many women and children stiil stay in Ukraine during dangerous wartime.

How do we live now ?

Our life has changed completely. Unfortunately not for the better.

The howl of air raid sirens, day and night, has become a common thing for us. Daily news about shelling and casualties has become commonplace for us. Now we go to a country house and to the village to visit relatives not for the rest, but for the temporary evacuation in case of a real threat of another rocket fire.

In fact, it's all ferociously and terrible, but a human gets used to everything. And we are used to it, but in fact now we live one day.

It's hard to plan for the future when businesses and jobs are shrinking and life is getting more expensive.

For several months, small businesses in the country were in a state of shock, but now, step by step, they are trying to gather strength and continue to work whoever can, who is still alive.

Therefore, now our hobby has become a source of income for us, since the war has made its negative influence.

But we do not lose heart and do not give up, we are glad to each customer. We want to earn by giving joy and happiness to our customers. Trust us, in this war time we know the happiness value.

Thank you for your support, for any kind message. You help us so much and give us hope for tomorrow.
