Just got back from a 2 day event at my mothers church. Friday night it was real busy and I sold a fair amount of items, Saturday it was a bit slower but I still did overall very decently. Here are pics of my setup.
DW, glad you did well. I too like the deer and I like the boxs there standing on. Did you sell any deer? And if so may I ask how much? Thanks,Lance
Sold all the deer, all 15 of them the 1st day and another 10 today. The box is of my own design and I was selling the deer fairly cheaply at $3 each. More then anything they get folks to stop and look at the other things I have done so $3 often turns into $15 to $20 before they are done. I have an order from one lady for an additional 25 deer so they sell and do attract customers.
The raindeer with the larger antler rack on them is unfortunatly not avialable to be given away as it is not mine it can be had though by purchasing the 3d patterns from this site. 3-D Scrollsaw Patterns

What is the little red nose you have on the deer? I just ordered my set of plans. Thanks for the link. I really enjoy compound cutting Thanks Diana T.
Do both style of deer come in the plans? Just curious.
The red nose is a 5mm pompom from Micheals thast is attached with a drop of gelled superglue. The only deer model in the plans is the one with the big feet ... the other is from this link 3-D scrollsaw reindeer pattern That one is a free one.

DW, I missed this earlier post...great variety and set up!!! Glad your $ale$ went well!
Back in the corner (by the chalkboard) it looks like genie's lantern or such...or is that just my imagination!?! Can you share a closer photo of it? BTW...I really like how your sign came out and how you displayed it!

Kim no that was not your imagination it is an Aladin Genie type lamp.... actually an incense burner. The whole thing was cut from a 1/2 inch bamboo cutting board.

DW, glad I wasn't seeing things and thank you so much for sharing the photos!!! That is a great design...is it made to use 'cone' incense? Does it smoke up the lid that much?
BTW...after seeing all your great post about using the bamboo cutting boards I picked me up some while I was at Wally World the other day. I haven't had the opportunity to use them yet, as I just got hammered with orders for 10 boxes. Almost all of the orders are for different ones except three of them are my Book Stash Box...the most time consuming of all my boxes. Plus I got a really fun commissioned job...but I am not gonna tell yet as I am hoping to do a WIP.
Thanx again for all the great input, comments and tip on the bamboo cutting boards!
OH forgot... what blade did you use on the bamboo?

Kim,
I am not sure about how much it would smoke up the lid .. probably a fair amount but it would be easily cleaned thought about putting a thin brass plate on the lid bottom so that it was easily cleanable. As to the blade I generally use a #3 PSR on bamboo at a medium speed. I would think any blade would be good except a #7,#9 or #12 as they would be too aggressive.

Our Judges are some of the best woodworkers I have ever met. On occasion I get asked to explain what I look for in the scrolling categories. I point out all of the nuances. I can't be a judge as I have intarsia and scroll work entries.
There may have been some crud on the tips from manufacturing.
In the ~20 years of scrolling I never cleaned the ends of my blades until recently. Even with the Pegas clamps I was having some blade slippage, I now scuff the ends of my blades with some 220 grit paper End of problem.!...
Don’t over sand them as you will shorten their usable life. Only sand as needed. Another thing to do is clear your blades before installing. Blades are coated with oil to prevent rust. Wipe the ends with alcohol or lightly sand with 320 grit.
The fact that you only had approximately 6 hours on the saw tells me there was a thin oily film on the clamps from the manufacturing process.
If problem continues you may have spread the clamps in the process of tighten blades. A common problem with OEM parts. This issue will disappear by replacing...
10” compound dual bevel sliding mitre saw with laser. Bruce said to buy a new blade because the blade that comes with it sucks. Sells here for $289. It was on sale plus his military discount and a $50 gift certificate from his woodworking club. Bruce said to check out on Google 10” kolbalt mitre...
