It looks like you are loading your brush too full. If you want to try to salvage your pieces, try sanding the paint smooth and touch up the needed places with a light touch. I am not a painter either and my painted items look like a first grader did it. But my hubby does paint and that is his advise. Good luck.

I found that the minute I started selling my handmade items (jewelry) it became a job with hard work involved with listing, displays, taxes, etc. I have done both Ebay and still have a Etsy shop.. They both take a lot of time and sometimes cost more than what you sell. When I retired (again) from that and took up the hobby of scrolling, I decided not to sell anything. Well family and friends have enough "dust collectors" so I not enjoy making items for charity ( especially Toys for Tots). I can take my time, do what I want, and not keep hundreds of things under the table. JUST A THOUGHT.

My saw is fairly new (1 year) so I do not have that problem. However, I do have some nuts and bolts that are used for other things. And they get nasty and rusty. I am not real familiar with the "guy" methods of cleaning things, But I have had good luck putting mine in my jewelry cleaning sonic cleaner or my tumbler with Dawn dishwasher soap.. I love shiny stuff.

Edward, if you are serious about keeping an inventory, I have found QuickBooks for business the best and easiest way to do so. I used it for over 20 years in my husbands business. When he retired, I use it to keep track of my business items. You give each item a name or number, enter it into a category, give them a price, and check that you want to keep track of your inventory. It will do that automatically, both with sales items, equipment, supplies and any other thing you can think of. The beginning entry is the most tedious, but once done,it is a cinch. You can check QuickBooks out on YouTube to see if you want to try it. The program can be costly. Now that I am retired, I keep it super simple. I take a photo of each style (or item), put it in a catalog style listing with a number and just keep track of "on hand" and "sold" items. Of course it does show the price too if there is one. 80% my items now are not sold, but donated to my local Toys for Tots Foundation. I only keep track of what I cut for friends or family so I do not duplicate a gift.
