dgman Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 This past Sunday I did the Thousand Oaks Street Fair. Great weather and a great turnout. 370 spaces, all sold out! This was my fourth year doing this show and I made my average, $750. Here are a few pics of my booth. I was by myself, so no pics of the rest of the show.

amazingkevin Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Boy some fresh linen makes everything look so much better.This is why pictures of shows let you see what others see.Two tone wood combo's are anther visual plus,correct spacing ,not to busy let your eyes focus on just one thing at a time,well done frames makes it or breaks the sale.Different shelves ,stands,displays& counters helps you remember where some thing was you were deciding on.I'm impressed ,Good set up Dgman,sock it to them!

ichibob Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Beautiful items and quite a variety on the selection! What would you say is the best selling items for your area? dgman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Beautiful items and quite a variety on the selection! What would you say is the best selling items for your area?It's hard to say as each show is different. The mini bird houses always sell as well as Christmas ornaments, although I didn't have any on display at this show. Sentimental plaques always sell.I might have something that I have been carrying around for two years that I thought would never sell, then all of a sudden it sells.

dgman Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 That was a great display and your items look fantastic. Roughly how many items did you take in total? Rob That's a great question, I honestly don't know! Just a guess....250. When I choose a project to cut, I check to see what wood I have on hand. That will determine how many copies I make. I plan on at least two, but if I have the wood, I'll cut up to four of each project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobscroll Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hi Dan, WOW! You really put on a great show! Something there for everybody! Thank you for the photo's, Your scrolling is excellent! Bob dgman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Dan, that sure is an impressive display of your cutting skills. You have most if not all subjects covered, it would be hard to not buy something from you. Thanks for sharing these great pictures with us.

dgman Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Thank you all! It means a lot. I work full time and do most of the shopping and cooking so I don't have much time to work in the shop. In fact I just came in from the shop as I have another show on the 7th & 8th of November. I plan on working in the shop every night after dinner for the next two weeks. Then two weeks after that I have a scroll saw class at Woodcraft. I have to prep wood, patterns and supplies for the class. After that I'll have time to clean the shop. I'm looking forward to that as my shop is such a disaster. Its dangerous to go in there!
