My latest projects

I have been busy lately with my crafts. I attended a horticultural weekend and took a willow workshop. It was so much fun. I got home and was all excited about making my own willow baskets. I made two so far, but instead of using willows, I used red dogwoods and birch. I cut them from the bush on my property and got busy nailing.
And I got lucky, we used compressed air brad nailers in the workshop, so they went on sale on Thursday so I bought one. I already had a compressor so it was great.
And also, I have been working on birdhouses, but not for the birds, for decoration in my flower beds. I made two, both shaped like teapots, one right handed and one left handed.

Button Making Question!

So, I just discovered this gem of a community today, and I was wondering if you all could help me with finding a button machine to use. I'm thinking about selling some next year at an anime convention, but I doubt I'll make much of a profit if any so I'd like it to be fairly inexpensive.
I found this older post here that seemed helpful and I went onto Dr. Don's site but are those machines still the best ones to get and where can I get the best prices for them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :D Thank you very much.
