Update: I should have vinyl all figured out sometime next week. I used to work at a sign shop and asked my old boss about quotes for making a bunch of vinyl stickers and maybe working something out with him. Due to some unforeseen consequences we haven't had the time to talk over quotes. Working with him and doing the labor may be less expensive than purchasing all of the materials myself.
I finally purchased some better quality wood for laser etching. Other than the vinyl I have a little bit of all the materials that are needed. For a few reasons I'm considering making a thread in the artisan section and going through there. This is primarily due to my schedule. Of course, everyone who has expressed interest would be first in line. If I went this route I would spend a week or two building up some stock. I would most likely make everything in batches, excluding the custom orders. This would also allow me to play around and try new things. The final prices would remain the same either way. Though I have not fully decided on this route.
Edit: I will sort everything out after April 5th.
I apologize for the wait. My schedule has been hectic with midterms, papers, and some personal affairs. I don't want to start a GB until I am confident that when the invoices are paid I will be able to get right into production. However, I am discussing with hashbaz about making a thread in the artisan or classifieds forum and going at this a little differently. Either way, I hope to have stuff finalized this weekend including prices.
Right now I am finalizing the best method to produce the vinyl. I have received 1 square foot of brown and 1 square foot of tan leather. This may or may not be enough but if I need more I will purchase more. I have a square foot of orange and black acrylic. Again, if I need more I'll order it. I have some clear acrylic left and I can purchase more if needed locally.
Sounds like you're being smart about it. Definitely good to think things through and manage everyone's expectations accordingly. Very interested in seeing what you come up with.
Thank you. I feel more confident in my decision.
When I filled out the interest check I thought I would have no interest in the leather but the more that I am going through the thread and seeing the mockups I am falling in love.
I'm glad you like it! I'm thinking of tackling this in a somewhat different manner because there's some other ideas that I'm interested in trying in the future.
The quality of these keychains looks ahhmaaazing 
I would definitely buy a few variations of these!
Thanks! I'm glad you like it.
