Woodcraft has been and gone and the crowds did not come hence poor sales, if it had not been for my new range of scroll work it would have been a wasted 2 1/2 days, I sold 33 pieces of scroll work 25 of those were puzzles, so in my opinion it was a pleasing result, sales over all for me were 50% down on last year but some had no sales at all so I can not really complain, I have more pics I will post at a latter date

lot of nice looking items with lots of variety :)
-
It looks like you had a good variety Jimbo. It sounds like puzzles were your big seller. You just never know what people are looking for.

Looks great Jimbo. Do you make your own puzzle boxes? I like the look of the puzzle sitting in a box.

you have some nice photo's there Jimbo.
pity the sales didn't meet your expectations.

Jimbo, Where on earth did you find the boxes for the puzzles. I do most of the same puzzles and have not found a decent box to display them it. I use ziplocks w/a piece of cardstock behind them to try to keep them together but when you are stacking several for a show - some of them get disassembled. It takes time to get it all back together for display. (I take them out of the bags and set them up for the show which can also be problematic if someone bumps the table). Great display - thanks for sharing.

Just goes to show you, that the economy is terrible every where. Dave 8)

Hi Guys thanks for your kind remarks, the idea of the box's trays were from another member of the forum, they are actual trays and I cut them out of card board, then I cut a square of card for the lid and put an elastic band around it to hold together, if any one does not understand I can post a pic, while sales of my normal range of woodcraft I was rapt on what I sold of my scroll work as it was my first showing

I got it, Jimbo - Thanks.
-
That is a good idea to make your own box trays. You can make them the size to fit your puzzle. 8)

Great Looking Wares!
Always remember as I learned in the 'retail' business....
"The 'customer' making a purchase is the most fickle and unpredictable animal on this planet and probably any other!"
You may put exactly the same inventory out again at your next show/sale and the exact opposite results will occur.
Keep on Scrollin' and Sellin'!

I didn't know they made those in wood. (Bottom picture... bottom of the table.)
-
Janet, I don't think those are what you think they are! :o
-
OK Tell me what are you looking at Janet?
You are rite Gray I have been in the selling game most of my life and every time you go out it different, but you have to be prepared, bread and butter stuff always sells, I normally do around $350 worth of chopping boards at these shows but last WE I sold one only $15, and this why I try to have a huge variety when I go out

OMG I just realized what you are talking about. ROFLMAO :o :o :o
-
What are they then dgman?
I don't know what they are, but I bet they are not those! Ask Jimbo!
-
Are you going to ask or not? I will tell you anyway they are garden dibbles and next to them are garden weeders and next to them there plastic bag carriers, ask and you will receive
Jimbo
-
I still don't know. What the heck is a garden dibble?
-
Janet, a garden Dibble is a tool to make holes in the ground for planting seed and bulbs.
-
You are dead rite dg and not for making holes any where else Janet, now is there any thing else I can help you with
