General Scroll Saw Talk / Compliment

« on: September 29, 2011, 09:47:18 pm »

What in your opinion  would be the best compliment you have had for your scroll work.
Mine was at the last craft fair our club did and it was the amount of people that asked if my work was laser cut, this was not only a compliment in my opinion but held their attention and often produce a sale

Those members that have an Excalibur saw have you had any trouble with the blade tension lever, I have had trouble on and off with the lever slackening off while operating and now it will not stay back I have cleaned it out but still no joy
Any suggestions?

Here are some of the other pics from woodcraft showing the pole lathe that was demonstrating all W/E also the violin maker and the tables with restored tools that one of our members does, he sells heaps of them and I'm not sure what people do with some of the old tools that they buy

Brag Forum / Woodcraft

Sunday was a busier day people wise but they were not spending up large buying mainly lower $$ items but eh W/E finished reasonably well considering the lack of people I finished over a $K so that was great and 90% of the sales were from the saw, jewelry box's were the big thing on Saturday and clocks on the sunday, ornaments sold well as well on both days, I will put some other pics on another topic

Brag Forum / Clocks

Some of the desk clocks I have made for my first showing of the coming season near the end of September, I have not made these before and it will be interesting to see how they are received, and of course if they sell, my main sales items that I am relying on for sales this year are jewelry boxs, they went well the last 2 times I have been out
