band saw box
I bought my Grizzly band saw about a month ago. Ummmm can I say "it ain't as easy as the videos show"!!! This is the first box that has been anywhere near boxlike. It is made of cherry, red oak, and mahogany. The back was supposed to be the front because I loved the grain on the cherry...-

cutting board
Cutting board for my wife's birthday kids choose the wood from scrap (mahogany, alder, walnut) and told me how they wanted it arranged. I jointed they helped glue… then I built a 13" thickness sander for the shopsmith and we sanded smooth… Kids oiled (about 10 coats :) ) not bad considering...-

Table Saw Tenon Jig
I have a fancy Delta fully adjustable table saw tenon jig… I never use it. I like mine a lot better. It is so much easier to use. This simple jig slides over my table saw fence. So adjusting it from side to side is as easy and accurate as moving my fence. I simply screw on a new vertical...-

Craft Show Set-up

Serving Tray
Serving tray from plans from one of the magazines. A neat little project. The base of the tray is 6.5" x 16". I made this and the wife and I decided it would make a good gift. Now I have to make 5 more for Christmas gifts!!! It is maple and walnut. I had a really tough time clamping the sides... -
Coat and Hat Racks
These are four coat and hat racks I made for a craft show, much earlier on in my woodworking endeavor, none sold so I found uses for them around the house. The one with a variety of different knobs serves as my daughters headband/hair band, bracelet, and necklace storage area. They are made... -
Simple Wall Vase
Christmas gifts for my Mom and Sister. The wall vase is made from mahogany and walnut. The mahogany part was cut on the bandsaw and has a wavy pattern on the face, which is hard to see in the poor picture. I cut out the shape trying to leave a lot of saw marks, I then lightly sanded it to leave... -
Sweating for Bucks Through WoodworkingI don't know if it is a fluke, but the show I did last weekend dispelled the notion that we are in a recession. Myself, as well as most crafters and artists I have talked to, have experience an almost total shut down this year in sales. Our expectations are so low right now, that we are happy...

Sweating for Bucks Through WoodworkingI am planning to start building an inventory of products this winter for some weekend market places next spring. Internet has a lot of urban legends on being scammed at the shows and of people renegging on the payment after the fact to sell the goods at their flea markets. So, what are the...

Sweating for Bucks Through WoodworkingRecently went to an indoor craft show (not a woodworking show), and here's what I learned. • Woman are easily 80% of the customers - gear your stuff towards them. • Jewelry is easily…80% of the displayed merchandise. • Unique, outdoor decorative stuff is usually a good bet, as long as it's in...

What should I make that will sell well, and make a good profit for myself? That's the $64,000 question. In fact, how much would you pay me to tell you exactly what to make? LOL.

BlogsPerhaps the Best Selling Item at a Craft Show? Then Answer is... I've been to quite a few general craft shows (as opposed to just wood craft focused shows), both juried and non-juried, and it seems I've found arguably the best seller at these shows (other than food, of course), and I thought...
