General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Cuts narrower on bottom.
« on: October 18, 2012, 10:23:59 am »
Tony I agree with Slowcutter, pushing sideways will do that . Also make sure you blade is square to the table and you have good tension.
News: Had a couple issues with the forum today. 1/19/2017. I believe I have them corrected now. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: 2 Weeks of Shows
« on: October 16, 2012, 09:42:37 am »
Dan
The first show, the local town street fair ( The Crab Carnival) I sold around $300. Booth fee was $75, so not bad not great. There were over 100 craft vendors and the competition for the dollar was huge. Started at 12th Street and went down to 3rd Street. we were at 5th street.I think half the folks were broke when the got to us. Undecided about next year for now. The second show was at a local church. Guess there were about 300 people and I did $200.From talking to others, The only ones here that dime more were the Brunswick stew and that was there major attraction. I prefer the small shows more. The crowd at the first show was sometime so large that folks on the other side of the street could not get over to our side, an all the vendors were on one side, with the other for walking. I cut some kids puzzles - teddy bear, cat, dog, crab duck 3-7 pieces each. I finish them with bees wax and mineral oil ( nontoxic) and sell for $5. they moved really good. I had to get busy and cut more after the frist show and I am glad I did. I only do about 4 shows a year. Not a business for me, just a way to lighten the inventory so I can make more.

Ask Steve a question. / Re: Battery charger
« on: October 16, 2012, 09:18:03 am »
I figured the charger was no longer available and that was why the long explanation. A little back ground - After my real job decided to "retire me" I worked in a battery store for 8 years did everything from delivery to making custom battery packs for various tool, and equipment. The places mentioned are below are good choices. Radio Shack - depends- Several around here used to have very knowledgeable people. I often called them with questions when at the battery store. But recently seems they hire folks that have very little background. They can text and tweet but ask for a 250 ohm .05 tolerance resistor and they just stare at you!
