I love our Rollo printer for shipping labels - and my HP laser printer as well -

rafairchild2 , thanks for the list of saws - mines complete and most of the older ones are obvious incomplete - i always get a kick out of the 3-5 thousand they get for the same saw i have - and all they did was wire brush it and paint them Gloss black - the saw was never painted black - Been thinking about listing mine on ebay and looking at delievery companies that will pick it up , pack it and ship it ( from my shop ) Maybe a thought for you - if your interested ( let me know ) to have someone pack it and pick it up and deliver to you - But I do understand . They are a magnet for customers if you do Craft shows or like to demonstrate ( i did that for years )

would be nice for someone who would appreciate it more than me , Ive got too much stuff and looking on downsizing my business -

My suggestion : The powder from Shell -is extemely harmfull - my suggestion -DONT CUT SHELL I use to use a N95 - but no way in hockey sticks would i ever do it again - life is short !

A couple of things I can tell when its dogs out - when it starts to fight me - and i look at the teeth of a blade , if they start getting bluish or discolored ( just where it cuts ) its worn out

I live in Fredonia New York U.S.A. I decided to lower it on my local marketplace to 1300.00 ( if anyone is interested ) of course it is a pick-up item only -kinda surprised its not sold - i think alot of things not considered essential are hard hit with this rollercoater ride of our economy. 1300.00 was the going price for this saw like 20+ years ago ( if you could find one )

I love both of mine - their decent saws

Hi its been a while - ( I posted a picture of this a few years back ) were thinking about downsizing our homeand Ive got a few antiques treadle saws to sell - This 1st one is a Barnes #2 Velocipede $1,300 or BO ( pick up only ) If you know someone up my way looking for one of these let me know - Tony

kinda like buying a truck , but the TRUCKS probably 40+ grand the saw is 4-5 hundred , and maybe lasts longer - in the long run

etsy sales for me have been a bit slow , but Im not starving yet so when it comes it comes. Not to worried about it .

Impossible to make everything 100 percent safe - consider doing your best and carry insurance - and dont run with sharp objects !

Another source for you to consider are other artists in your area , most are nice people who are happy to help you . Something I learned along time ago is to ask your questions carefully - one persons idea of what a good show is can vary . sunshine Artist magazine is an ok place to start but not necessarily a end all answer . Id even call an event organizer with a short list of questions, stuff like number of visitors , how many vendors , cost etc. ( some even ask for donation of craft item -which is ok )

Joe, we actually did a small venue at a winery a few years back ( prior to you know what ) Our sales were not super , but my wife had allot of fun . they even gave her a bottle of wine at the very end of the event .

A source we use to use may be a good start for you - sunshine artist magazine -its basic to get your feet wet - but experience which takes years will tell you which show to do and which to stay away from . -to save a buck ask an artist if they could give you an old copy of the magazine !

Ive used tape around the outside - doesnt scratch the table top thou when you get near the end of the cutting , you have to be careful they dont separate
