My latest craft show

[cdrover(Clyde)]

Well it finally happened. I came home Saturday, after the craft fair, smiling half way  down my back.show started at 10:00am at 10:15 a lady came to our table looked once at my beach scene by JGR and said how much. Well I only took it to show it off because I did not really want to or expect to sell it so I said $400.00.( I should have said 500. $&)@&$.) Anyhow she said ok I will take that.  we sold a lot of 5.00 to 50.00 items. Later in the day a lady was looking at my key fobs. The type that have the hidden compartment. I told her you can put $ bills or tooth picks inside. She has a sewing group and thought they would be great for storing needles in.  I had 6, she took them all at 30.00 each. What a day we had. Now I can buy some supplies😉😉😉😉

Way to go Clyde, congratulations on a great show.

Very happy for you Clyde, congratulations on a great show.

Glad to hear about your success.  Sounds like you made out like a bandit! 

Moreover, I'm interested in seeing and finding out about your "key fobs with a hidden compartment". Can you show a picture of one (maybe you will have to make one if you "sold out".  ) Or tell me where you got a pattern or the idea. Sounds like something I would be in to.

PS If you DO have to make more of the key fobs, would you mind spending some time to take a few pictures of the process and posting a tutorial down in the Tips, Tricks and Tutorial section? It would be greatly appreciated by a lot of people on this site I'll bet.

I would second that motion.

Isn't it fun to do the "HAPPY DANCE" all the way home from a show. Never regret a "pulled out of your butt" price 
But you can always wonder how high she would have gone

Congrats on the sale, and I'd like to see the fob with compartment as well. 

[cdrover(Clyde)]

Thanks for the complements. We are still wondering how to spend all that money! so far we have brainstormed twenty ideas. But in the end it will just disappear. The withdrawl period was short.

Here is the link to where I get my hardware for the fobs. Hope this helps, and I do have pictures, just cannot find them right now.

The hardware is not the hard part and If you are turning them on a lathe, I'm no longer interested.
My brother has turned hundreds of them on the lathe. I thought it was a  new design using the scrollsaw.

Congratulations Clyde on a job well done.  It is days like this that keep a lot of us scrolling away.  Glad to hear of successes.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

Roger I am sure there are individuals on here that can cut these with their Scrollsaw, but I'm not that gifted. I do enjoy the lathe but not as much as my Excalibur
