General Scroll Saw Talk / Last fair

« on: December 05, 2011, 01:29:11 am »

This the last fair for the year and sales were down by 1/2 on last year, it was a disappointment to what would have been a good year in sales, the weather was lousy windy and cloudy until 10-30 then it cleared and was a good day but it was too late and the early birds did not come, as you can see we had to tie the table cloths down and I had to shift the tall clocks from the riser as they were blowing over

I use #5 Fd ur on our local hard woods and don't have much of a problem really hard wood takes a bit longer to cut, I run my saw at around half speed for this wood

Have done 2 of my Christmas fairs and have my last this coming Saturday, hope it's fine as it is out doors, it is one of the better selling ones I do, the last 2 were sales wise great, mainly ornaments, jigsaws and jewelry box's, the latter ones were in doors and only one table but sold really well

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Ex21 Poll

I said that for a laugh Marg, I have a Ex 21 and it was fine until it blew a main bearing and franchise dealers cant get going as it was it vibrates at just over half speed and while I don't much faster than that it should be as I bought it, my previous saw was a Ryobi a pile of junk
