I HAVE A dEwALT 788 AND I LOVE IT IT WAS $499 AT hd.

I have don craft shows for 20+ years. It isn't like it use to be, Sales are down compared to 20 years ago , but I have noticed that in the last couple of years it is picking up. I did 5 shows last year and I cleared $600 above total cost. There has been years that I just made cost, but I still enjoyed it I am like Jim my prices are low but I don't have to burn anything. I don't mind production jobs at all. I had some dog products that sold slowly so I gave them to a dog rescue unit. I lost money on that but that's O.K. I am 75 years old and still having fun . I just hope it last for a long time to come .

We all have to start some where you started with a tree and I started with fire Wood, Yours looks a lot bettern that mine did

Both are great but the red is real striking.

I go to a saw mill get there scrap air Dry it for 9 to 13 months and then plain it . Not all can do that I also go to HD and buy plywood. You can get a 4X8 sheet for about $20 and they will cut it into 2X4 sheets it is easier to handle and store. and will keep you busy for several weeks.

I do about 4 or 5 shows a year some are good and some are Bad. I find what is going good and stick to them. If it is a free show I go if I sell that's great if I don't do so good I have had a good time It is at a retirement nursing home. They only have one of a kind booth. I do between $75 and $ 200

I have cut 2x8 pine by using a #9 blade with no problems, slow feed and very the speed to see the best results on a piece of scrap.

Welcome to the village. this is a place for Questions and Answers, photos and such. The more the merrier there is lots of patterns here both easy and hard ones..

Keven if your saw would cut at high speed you would probably be covered in saw dust and we wouldn't get to see any thing you make

Thanks for the pictures they are beautiul, as long as it took i am surprised that the bottle hasn't been opened.

Welcome I like you found this site by accident. I too have scrolled for many years. I spend a lot of time on the village site. Just show pictures and you will get to know every body. -
I ask but the woman at the desk didn't know and the mech. left early. There wasn't a charge on it due to warranty so I guess they thought they didn't need to explain.
-
yes I think he did

I am sick of winter already and this is only Nov. It looks like it's going to be a cold winter

I price at $1.00 pr. letter, + marerials which is very reasonable, but $2 pr. letter isn't out of reach

The burnt touch makes it.
-
Nice job of cutting;g and the patern looks great.

you might contact the DW repair shop in your area. Here in the Cincinnati area they will take it apart and check it out for $39, but there repair rates are $39 to $260, they will call you with a estimate before they work on it. at the price of new saws it could be a bargain.
