I finally got off my lazy bum and did something constructive today.
I went to the local newspaper and designed an ad.
Its about 2×3 with a color picture and words which runs for 12 weeks for 67.00 total.
The paper has 3500 local readers and I will be displayed on the second page.

The woman that owns the paper just hired a writer from the KC Star and she is doing a special on me for the Summer Fun issue this next week!

They suggested that I get a spot at a local flea market to display the chairs rather than have people come to my home to view them.

So tomorrow I will make a beautiful chair, (which usually takes me about 4 days to complete, mostly the finishing that takes that long), and take it up to the flea market.

The spot in the flea market will cost 55 a month.

So for a little over $100, I’m in business.

Check out my developing FB page.

Please share this on your FB page, I need to get at least 30 likes so I can customize.

RussellAP home \| projects \| blog 2394 posts in 453 days #4 posted 369 days ago	Thanks guys. I will work on one made of wrc tomorrow. I emailed Charles Neil to make sure that I could use his name and product, (pre color conditioner) in my documentation about how the chairs are made. -- Failure does not stop me, it makes me try harder..... because I'm crazy.
RussellAP home \| projects \| blog 2394 posts in 453 days #5 posted 369 days ago	Just swept up all my curls and getting ready to build another chair. I found that I have plenty of cedar in stock to do it. It’ll be nice to put the hand planes away for a while. I got my Bailey No5 and 6 along with a Sargent 14” today from Ebay. I’d take a pic but I’m plumb tuckered out. -- Failure does not stop me, it makes me try harder..... because I'm crazy.
