    New way to help keep Steady Craftin’ going!

    December 11, 2024 /

    Steady Craftin’ is definitely a crowd-funded enterprise. We don’t take full advantage of the “make money on youtube” approach with sponsored videos (if we promote an item, it’s because we really like it – and likely didn’t make any money off of it.

    We’ve been trying for a while to be able to get a good injection molded AGUA and are happy to announce publicly (our Patrons had the pleasure of getting their hands on the first run of these) that we will periodically be releasing these tie-dye AGUAs in small runs – starting TOMORROW (10/21)!

If you would like to get a heads up on things like this early, please consider joining our Patreon family. There are lots…
