I just got back from four days of scrolling at our local fair.
This year my scrolling partner and I made three plaques as the show got underway. They were the multilayered heron from accentsinpine.com.
We put out a guest book with a place to say yes or no to owning a scroll saw.
I havent tallied the results yet. We had well over a thousand visitors but only 200 or so signed in. Three winners were chosen by randomly choosing numbers.
They will be sent the pictures this week. It was a great way to get some contacts of people who like scrolling. It may be something you could do at craft shows.
I had my whole booth set up in a small three drawer cabinet with my saw bolted to the top. I rolled it in and set up in about 10 minutes. Tear down was even quicker. Since this was a farm fair I didnt even have to clean up the sawdust
During the four days we demonstrated, simple cutting, jigsaw puzzles, compound cutting and fretwork. Lots of interest and hopefully we have convinced a few people to drag their scrollsaws from under the stairs and join us in a great hobby.
We really didnt sell anything but we gave lots of little puzzles and small cut outs away.
Now I will probably put my scrollsaw under thestairs till next year and try and shame some more poeple into scrolling
.
Cant do that, Christmas is just around the corner!
