Barb I do several shows a year and have been successful in each.  I have a variety of my craft displayed and I try not to over crowd my display table(s).  One of the keys to having a successful outing is to talk to your customers get them involved.  You might even find after several shows that you have repeat customers and that is a good thing.  Good luck with your show.

Computer questions / Re: Is it Neccessary?

While you can hide IE you can not remove it.  There are a ton of file associations that are set up to open with IE.  Some of these are fairly easy to change but there is a core of 8 associations that can not be easily changed and when as you surf  you hit one it will try to open IE.  The new WIN10 is rumored to be able to not have IE installed, we shall see.  Anyway you can change most of the file associations to your other browser and go from there.

Steve I just was just able to connect and download a pattern.  There has been a general slowness about the internet in the last couple of  days I have noticed.  I have had to several times clear all my cookies and or go to an incognito mode in order to post on other sites.  Perhaps this is what you are experiencing?

Brag Forum / Re: Small booklet - scrolling through wood and paper

« on: June 09, 2015, 08:00:00 am »

Thank you for all the positive comments.

DWSudekum - I bound the booklet with a small strip of leather at the top. I also used this on the botttom to keep the papers in place and once this notebook is used a new one can be substituted. To keep it toghether while scrolling I used tape (masking tape/painters tape). I wraped the paper stack in another piece of paper (wraped it cmpletely like a gift) and positioned it on the bottom cover. Then I taped it in place. I added the top cover, squared it up with the bottom cover and taped it to the bottom cover. I tried to ensure that everything was tight. I added the name, drilled the holes and scrolled it out.

Thanks my friend.  I thank you for your explanation.

That came out awesomely my friend.  I do have two questions for you what are / did you use to bind the paper together in the book? And what method did you use to hold it all together while scrolling the name through both the paper and the one cover side?  This has a serious cuteness factor that will sell.  If you were to take this to a store that sold things like this and folks saw them you would be hard pressed to keep them in stock I bet.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

Congratulations on your new saw.  The difference is like the difference between a Volkswagen and a Porsche.  Looking forward to seeing some of your work from this new saw.  Perhaps you can scroll a truck for the wife???
