General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: signing work

Hi Matt:
Agree with Spirithorse
Personally, I would sign the back of the project.
Leave the front for the project itself.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: selling items?

« on: January 17, 2015, 05:23:08 am »

Hi Matthew:
What I found over the years is that using a scroll saw to try and make "decent" money is hard.
As a rule you can always cover the cost of the materials used.
It's the time that you put in that makes it hard to recoup.
If you happen to hit on something that is fast and easy to make you are well ahead of the game.
You have to see what people are into in your area and go from there.
What I do and sell here in Ontario doesn't necessarily mean it will sell good in your area.
Trial and error, and hope people like what they see and give you orders to make more.
One thing that is always a hit is anything you can "personalize". Check out Steve Goods programs.
Easy to use and quick to make
I was once told " put a heart on it" it will sell. Seems anything with a heart on it is a good seller also.
Bottom line through all this:
If you treat it like a business, you will be discouraged more often than not.
Keep it fun, sell a few things here and there and you will enjoy it a lot more.
Good Luck with your sales - Hope you get what you're after

Hi Marcel:
Looks good the way it is
Sometimes by adding a backer it makes it easier to read
I would not use cardboard
This is not the case with this one so I would leave it as is
Danish oil is a good option also
Thanks for showing us
