Yeah Jimbo, but I had so much stuff, it didn't make much difference. But guess what? A Friend came buy tonight and bought $100 worth of the leftovers!

Now there is a "Big D"!

Behind your really full table there are cabinets with chisels?  What about them?

Pete, The sleds were priced at $10. I try to stack cut as much as possible so I usually have two to four of each project, so I can price them cheaper than if I just made one.Then I ask my wife what she would pay for it, then price it accordingly. People like bargains, so I like to price things like ornaments with a "two for". The small ornament were $3, two for $5. The larger ornament were $6, two for $10. the mini birdhouses, sleds and gift card holders were $10 or two for $18.

Torsten, This was held at a woodworking store. I was placed in front of the chisel display. My tables were two large woodworking benches!

Thanks for all compliment!

Thanks for the info Dan , i also ask family members what they would pay but they all tend to give me different answers ::), i made some sleds and a kind local shop owner is selling them for me without commision!, i also asked her about price  and she said ?9 which is probably about $12 and she has sold some at that price.
I will ask her to reduce the price now though as i have some sleds with the date on the runners, Thanks again ..pete
