Just another something to try to peddle

I’ve heard craftshows can be hard…but your shelf looks pretty neat!

this is lovely (and functional)
I don’t think I’ve ever purchased anything at a Crafts Fair – just enjoyed looking at everyone’s work

Don’t get disenchanted with the craft shows. When I started out I was making lamps and selling them (or not, mostly not) at a flea market. As time went on, my products looked a little better (but not much) and wound up getting asked to bring some samples to their house so the hubby could see them. Well, they had 6 – 8 neighbors over and it turned into a lamp party, like tupperware. I took many orders and from that the story gets developed. I installed a set of hanging lamps, and they asked if I could make a little table, so I said “Of course”. So that’s the short version how I got into WW’ing. There’s really more to the story, but I think I’ll leave it to a full post so everybody can get a laugh.

My response is never give up. If that shelf hasn’t sold, it just hasn’t been seen by the right person who will deserve it. That’s great item, and looks well made.

Cabinetman has a good idea, you could go into the Woodenware Party _(Obiware)_business, but then you might get to rich, like Mr. Tupper.
Also you haven’t made contact with the right customer yet.

Well if you make one thing … for example, pens. The you get labeled as a pen-maker or a pen-turner. I’ve made so many things that Wood-worker is the only thing broad enough to cover everything that I’ve done. I’m currently working on the third Magazine Table in which I plan to enter the Woodworking Awards for Creativity… Stay Tuned

Hey Obi.. I think that “LumberJock” is broad enough too – and now it even covers cooking ;)

Saw this project post while I was rolling the dice.
Very nice wall hanging shelf. Those AB hooks look very catchy. You know where to find those Antique Brass hooks?

Thanks for sharing with us.
