  • My one and only fair this year is done!

    Got home about an hour ago. It was a fast busy day (10-3). We made our table before we even got there. I had made some nativity hand rails (3) and one customer bought all three. I had to take an extra table this year because we were selling all of the test cutting items such as the Barbie furniture etc.
    I want to thank all of you that helped me come up with a price for my art deco clock, the suggestions ranged from 35 to over 100 I settled for $65. That seemed fair to me.
    Final Tally ~1300, that should take care of a new dust collector plus.
    Our display is simple and normaly fits an 8' table.
    I was surprised that the ornaments with hte Swarasky crystal did not sell well.(pattern from CWWC)

    That snowflake is very good looking--can't imagine why it didn't sell.

    Looks like you had a great variety. Glad to hear you made a few coins in the process.

    Too early to leave, too late to call in.

        Glad you did well Rolf. I did a whopping $100 in the same hours. I did however pick up some custom work and possible ongoing job supplying items for an Underground Railroad Museum.

                    Glad to hear you did well, I had a similar show a week ago which thankfully was my last for the year as I sold out of a bunch of stuff . It's surprising that those ornaments didn't do well as nice looking as they are.

                    I just might have to make a sign similar to yours as I'm constantly telling people my stuff is hand cut all day (good conversation starter but it gets old after a while). Did you sell the clock by the way?

                        Glad you did well. I also like the sign about hand cut. I've also received a few questions as to whether it is laser cut.

                            Thank you all for the nice comments. Yes the clock did sell for $65 somewhere in the middle of your suggestions. The Bellport United Methodist women love it when I do well (they run this fair)because I always give them an additional 10% of my sales on top of the table fees. Tis the Season

                                So many are selling them here it’s not worth us making them. However, we do very well with our dough boards. Nobody else makes them. We have an order for a dough board and matching pepper grinder. The walnut board I could make into a beautiful basket or two and sell for lots more than they are getting...

                                I did forget to mention he cut a finger on his left hand with the bandsaw. Just took skin off. Lucky again. Told him he was calling 911 next time.

                                Jim, if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, on the left you’ll find some style options that change the font size and color. I’ve been using Defalt vB5 Style, and it seems to be about the best for my iPad, but I’m still experimenting with my iMac.
