Weekend Show - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

guitarman · 10-05-2009, 09:53 PM

I just did a successful craft show this weekend. My first of the season. Most everything went pretty much as I expected it would but the thing that I sold out of completely was the keychains I made from Steve Good's program. I made up a lot of them, mom , dad, papaw, mamaw, I love God, and many other one's of this kind. I sold all I had, which was quite a few, and I have orders for about 15 more that I've been working on today. This is a first for me to sell out of something like this because I try to have a few of most everything I make with me. Just wanted to share that with you all. Made me feel pretty good. David

Nice way to start out the show season! Way to go. What were you getting for the key chains?

Congrats David. I'm curious also about the keychains, it's something I've often thought of doing but just never got around to. Do you have any pics of them?

David,
Way to go.....where did you get the key holders/rings?

Thanks for your comments. Ray, I got 3 dollars each for them and they went fast. Mike, I found the rings with the chains attacked at, would you believe, the dollar tree. I don't have any pic's of them but I'm in the process of making more right now and I'll take some shots of them to show. Steve Good has a program to download on key chains and it makes it very easy and simple to do. I made them from 1/4 inch Baltic Birch plywood. I stack cut them in three's and that way it doesn't take long to knock out a bunch in a short period of time. Thanks for your interest. David
