Hi all I was wondering if anybody had any tips on selling my portraits online. I have tried to post a few on my local selling site without any luck. I dont know if my photo's or my wording came across srtong enough. How does anyone else advertise there stuff and is there any certain way they photograph their portraits to give them more of an idea of excactly what your selling. To me I think the public only see and image on birch ply and dont get the full extent of my product. Any help would be most helpful. Thanks to all Martin

My air feed on my saw has not been working for ages. I am planning on getting myself a fish tank pump as I have just had an operation on my nose and throat and I cant use my saw because of the dust. My question is to all you scrollers. What size of pump should I buy? I have a small one but it doesn't move the dust away. Any help would be very helpful Thanks Martin
