I have to "gloat"

Jiggs Elphison · Dec 4, 2009

When I first worked my courage to post pictures I mentioned that I was not the artistic woodworker that I did mostly crafts. This week I attended a local craft show and actually SOLD OUT!!! 11 band saw boxes. The two shown here went for 45.00 each.

15 2x4 deer @ 18.00 each. Made from economy studs. 3 (9 total) each candy dishes @ 15.00 each. Small deer 25 @ 5.00 each. Small pull apart 30 @ 3.50.

I make these things all year and save for the x-mas show - I've never done this good. All the profit goes to the Adopt a Family for Xmas. I kow I'm probably pushing the envelope with post, just can't control my self. I've got a few more pictures I want to post -sorry

Congrats Jiggs. All are cute pieces.

Sold out? That's definitely a gloatworthy occasion. :thumb:

Great stuff, and it's great that you're donating the proceeds to a worthy cause. I agree with Larry, too...the painting jobs really make the Santa and Snowman come to life.

And if you keep showing pictures of beautiful work like that bandsaw box, you're gonna have to stop with the whole "I'm not an artist" thing.

Thank you for all the kind "atta boys" I really appreciate it

A very good friend painted the eyes and cheeks - I do the rest

Jiggs, what a gloat!!! Great job!!! Man, nothing to apologize or be sorry for, enjoyed seeing each and every one of those items. People are being tighter fisted with their money, but they got great deals from you and your sales showed that!
