I am making an outdoor bench from sapele. Have you used the rubio duragrip product? Have you used a water proof product to line the inside of an outdoor container?

Tony

I make a lot of cutting boards and got tired of people asking for personalization of them so I bought a Laser Pecker 2. I've gotten to where I can put my info on the back of the board but not much more than that, I'm not the most technological person out there.  My wife wants me to laser some Yeti cups for presents, is there somewhere I can go for settings and help?

Thomas

latelieraboie

Hey it’s Thomas and my maker camp question is not what you liked the most, the least, how many time hands were kissed and Juniper was shook. What I want to know, is, which of you gain the most weight ?

Now a non maker camp question. I’m using more and more the rotary tool on my laser to make my turned design a bit more original. I use the rotary tool that is sold for the Ortur laser and it works great for small design but I also want to cut into larger and heavier pieces and the chuck doens’t really hold well enough to my taste.

Do you know of a brand that offer a better rotary tool ?

Whats on our bench: 🎶

Dan sold his dust collector and installed a new unit in its place, FINALLY shipped the 213-day-overdue bed frame, ruined his hot end on his 2d printer, and he's down to only 2 overdue orders (down from 48).

Braden has been putting in work in the shop all week, he's officiating a wedding in Denver, got a new track saw, needs to make a toe kick for the kitchen island build before Maker's Camp and he's planning for his big craft fair.

Pete wrapped up a big engraving job, made a bunch of large live edge serving boards, invented a tool to make juice grooves easier, and taking a fusion refresher.

Questions:

Dan Western

Tiltes Sash Enterprises

So I know you guys like it raw but I’ve been making raw steel frames and wood pieces for 20 years.   I have used a rattle can of clear from Rust-Oleum with great success.  Another tip I was given from a rat rod shop was brush on Floods Penetrol.   The penetrol adheres to dirt and everything so if the steel isn’t perfectly clean it will still stick.  I had it on stool that I made for my brewery and they held up to abuse and cleaning for over 5 years no issues. Cheers guys.

Should i bring my own tools to Maker camp?

Thomas

Hey Thomas here with a question !

It’s a good one :

What are the pros and cons of a country based on religious belief ? Alright byeee

Just kidding ! I just thought I hadn’t ask anything shocking in a while. By the way people remember, it’s just a joke, don’t go up your high saw horses.

I actually have a question. I have done a lot of fair this past year and I found that products layout can really affect the look and sale of a stand. I have like 6 fair planned for December and I don’t know to do for my product placement.

Do you test layouts in your shop before or just wing it ? And do you generally prefer to spread all types of products on the tables or do you prefer to keep everything together ?

Thomas

Hey! Thomas here with a question about painted nots.

Almost a year ago I made this huge book shelf for pine board and I painted it white as demanded by my client. I even use a primer but last week I went there to discuss a new project and looking at the book shelf I noticed that all the nots were visible as if they absorb all the white paint.

Any idea what happened there?

How to avoid this?

Thanks!

How do you deal with your business being on your property?

Where do you dispose fo your sawdust?

Sarah Goldstein

Rosie's Woodshop

I've been thinking about bringing a lathe to craft shows to do live demos, but i am having a hard time with logistics. Please help!

How do you price out your lasering? By time? Is there a website like there is for 3D printing? Should I just see what it sells for on etsy? 

One example is birth milestones

These questions all pertain to in person craft shows.

1. So last year I made as much as I could, but didn't have my own shop so I bought things wholesale from some friends and sold them. They sold really well and I'm debating to do them again. What are your thoughts? 

2. Do I go ham and make a ton of pens or learn something new with my new machines? I only have maybe an hour through monday-friday each day and Saturday to do stuff. 

3. Do I have many diverse items with low count or a lot of the same things for craft shows with high count? 

4. Should I premake ornaments with what I think they should say or just have samples and let people pick what they want (but then they are waiting around for it to laser). I can still add customizations. 

5. I over did the craft shows last year and got burnt out and took off January and February, how do I avoid that? I don't think I'm going to sign up for as many shows but I do enjoy them.
