What items mostly sell in shows from April to Jully. I want to attend a show early summer, but don't know what to focus on making. I was going to do some puzzeles and ornaments, but do the ornaments sell all year around good or just during the fall?

I don't have very good luck with ornaments not during the season. Your local may very well drive your sales. Horse items in a horse area, dogs things, crosses, puzzles, bandsaw boxes, car and trucks, plaques....The ideas are endless, it all depends on your quality, merchandising and the customers willingness to buy."Still Montana Mike"

This is just my two cents...but I suspect sales are slow everywhere the first part of the year and into spring as it seems everyone is trying to re-coop from the holidays and of course the dreaded tax season. My experience has been that they do not purchase a lot of decorative/ornamental artwork but will spend some money on functional pieces such as boxes, mirrors, bowls/platters etc. Lower price point items such as bookmarks, charms, keychains, magnets and such seem to sell in this area also. For some reason, even tho the economy is slow, people will spend money on animal/pet orientated items.
Like I said, just my two cents...good luck and let us know how it goes...oh, and show us picts of what you come up with.~ Kim

I actually prefer the tilting table because the blade remains vertical. I find that at really steep angles, like 40 or 45 degrees,...-

Reply to Bruce doing greatby will8989What a morning. The therapists were quite pleased with what he could do. He took the wrap off today and he can walk with the walker with very little pain. It’s getting the leg completely straight that is hard to do. It’s when his brother stopped in that things went off rails. Rolf, we are talking...

Reply to Question about tilting head sawsby Sandy OaksIf you are referring to 3D Compound cutting, the blade is 90 degrees to the table and not tilted. I use the tilting head for things like inlays and Carole's bowls. If you want a tilting arm, be sure it is rack and pinion. Look at other features that may fit your needs. As a Pegas dealer, I can help...

by Jim LowderI think the foot release was an option. I don’t see the pulley for it on the back of yours. Although it may have been removed. It is a very simple concept, it’s a cable attached to the back of the saw to release the arm
