THat looks like the one I made a will back.  I just sold it for a nice sum of money.  It looks like you are doing a great job of it.  Keep up the good work.  The next one I make will have a motor in it to turn the wheel.

I went to a flea market this weekend and sold $465.00 worth of stuff.  I guess it depends on the area that you are in for sales.

Morning King,
the clock is 1/2 inch thick.  I found if you use anything thicker it gets to heavy.

My clocks sell from $20.00 to $200.00.  If I don't sell that many on the last day I put a sign on the table which reads "$5.00 off any idem $20.00 or higher".  You can't believe what I sell on the last day of the show.

The Coffee Shop / Scobby

I hate to asy this, but scobby has Bladder cancer, and is having a real hard time of it.  Please pray for him if you all would.  I try to get over there everyday for a while to try to lift his spirits and to try to keep him working with the scroll saw to keep his mind off his problem, but it's not working very well.  So stand with in prayer for my best friend.
