Has anyone tried painting plexiglass, and if so what paint holds up the best, or is it better to use stain glass paint. Colored plexiglass is expensive, and just looking for a cheaper way. Any suggestions welcomed. Edward

If you are having trouble with it, I would suggest take it back, and try another one, that one may have a defect, or maybe buy one at Lowes and forget about sears, there quality isn't like it use to be. Just my opinion Edward

Just finished this carousel on 1/2" Maple with 3/4" base

I do craft shows, and some as gifts, and donate to benfits. Edward

You did a great job on cutting, and like the choice of wood. Edward

I have made Whirleygigs before, and what I do is use fiberglass rods about 2" long and drill a hole in the bottom of the whirleygig and insert the rod into the bottom, and I used a pressure treated railing upright and drilled a hole in the center of it and used a plastic insert to hold the fiberglass rod. These parts can be purchased at Misel hardware, hope this helps. The stakes can be purchased at H D or lowes. Edward

Great job on the lighthouse, I haven't attempted that one yet, but will in the future. Edward

Dave I do about 9 shows a year, most shows I do are $25-$60 for a space, my average cost for space is $35. Stay away, from flea markets, unless it is craft and flea market combined, most shows I do are craft , but there are people that sell retail items. It is best to have a variety of items, don't forget to have some cheaper items also, like ornaments, key chains, book marks, etc. It is really hard to say what sells the best, pending on what area you are in. The area I'am in portraits don't sell well, and some areas they do, it all depends what people are looking for. My years in doing shows, I found that there are a lot of lookers, just walk by with there nose in the air, and don't pay attention. Once you get people in your booth,you have to put some sales tactics in use. Like was mentioned business cards, bags, pens, paper, and other things that were mentioned. I always believe in a variety of items, although you may not have everything, which is almost impossiable to have, just keep ears open and take notes, that way you learn. I really find it hard that people do a really high volume of sales, the most I ever done was $300, which I considered a good day, although some shows I barely made table money back. Don't let it get you down if you have a bad day. Hope all this helps. Ps if you want to see the items I sell go to Http://photobucket.com/scroller625, there you can get an idea. Edward
