    I tired this several times about 20years ago. All shops were well ran. I did good at at most stores I had one store that Was doing good and they decided to sell out and move to Florida .I went to check it out and all seemed good but i a couple of month they closed the store and no one knows where they went . I found out later that they took every bodys goods and left , where to no one knew I lost about $150 in merchandise. I wouldn't set up a booth in a store with out checking it out . Bill Bill.

    On any project that I will use 2 or more copies I cut 3 I make my own frames so the size doesn't matter. My backers is usually some scrap ply found in the dumpster With the price of balletic birch I don't make many prostrates or pictures The ;main thing is that the blade is square with the table Bill

    I tried that place 5to 6 years ago and had to get real nasty with them then they sent My order and some one else with 2 letters of regrets. I just used both orders and never used them again. I am surprised they are still in business. Bill

    Thursday I went to a small sale @ a ass. living/nursing home. There was no charge they furnished a sack lunch coke and cookie.(at no charge), the table was furnished. I wanted a drink so I ask they sent me to a corner of the room They had free cokes, popcorn cookies. It was a 4 hour sale and I sold $210 in 3 christmas trees and several puzzles It was very entertaining for the live in's and we were treated like family. the experience of that sale was worth a $210 day. I will go back next year and don't care how much I make. Bill

    `I had a delta and within 2 years it went bad it was under warrantee and I decided to take it to the delta repair shop. after one months called the shop and they were waiting for parts and would get it done when the parts came IN. this was the same after month 2,3,4,5,6 they finally got it finished I called delta once to find out what the problem was and they said I should just go and buy a new saw Well I did and it wasn't a delta. the original delta is now my back up saw. Never again,
