hammerkid Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hey Y`all I just got home from The Outdoor show at which i had a Booth . I wasn`t sure how i`d do at it . But NEEDLESS to say I SOLD OUT of stuff:) Also I found what sells best for me, Spilt Crosses ($5.00 key fobes, necklaces) . Also made a barbcue fork for a guy who had a booth ,which was unexpected I was just trying make it for another customer . And i took 3 spike knives and sold 2 of em (at $35.00 for onr and $30.00 for the other) To the same guy:o. I now have a list of orders(: a tripod, a dragonfly , 2 more cross , 2 barbcue forks, and a fireset) . And got intveted to a demo in the first of August. Ohh Yeah I made $130.00 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug C Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 coltpax, there is a 'iforge how-to' at anvilfire.com. Go to that page and search for 'Cross' or just go here iForge Blacksmith Projects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
