The farm show, that is. For the six days I was there, I only sold $55. Time to retool and begin building other things.
My plan is, child wooden toys and boxes. Things that uses far less shop space.

Re: A complete flop.
How are your turning skills? If you like turning and want some low cost, easy to produce projects, I would recommend one of Nick Cook's DVDs, Turning for Fun and Profit, and/or Turning for Food.

Re: A complete flop.
I feel your pain!!! Every year our woodworking club makes toys for tots and we try to sell some at a local craft fair to recoup some of our costs which are well over $400 for the materials. The most significant item is a cradle for a little girl's doll which comes complete with a stuffed bear a mattress and pillow and a blanket. All of the items are handcrafted by by people in our retirement community and the artwork is done by our resident artists. We can't get a donation of $100 for these items. I guess my fellow seniors are just a little strapped to spend the money.
Take a look and you will see what I mean.

Re: A complete flop.
As a matter of fact, I have very little turning skills, but I look forward in becoming proficient on the lathe. I have yet to reassemble my "Smithy" since I was busting my backside trying to get enough stock built, for this "complete flop" of a show!Mike907 wrote:How are your turning skills?

Today was a down day, as I have busting my cajones for over two months. I think I deserve a day or two of just being lazy! Plus, I now have a very active, bald faced hornet nest, just over my wood shop garage doors and I can hardly keep the doors up, because of these flying lil a-holes.
I sprayed them with two cans of Spectracide (at 5 am, this morning) and they seemed to just get Pi$$ed Off instead of dying. So, now I have two more cans and I will spray them again. I want that nest to glow with poison! This nest has been there all summer and the hornets never once bothered me. We were peacefully coexisting. Until now! I swear, there must be 100's of flying lil A-holes, declaring Ji-had on me, for nothing! Maybe they are ISIS Hornets!
