So remember when everyone helped me out a couple weeks ago on the ins and out of selling my bowls that where in the San Diego County Fair? (here) (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?168857-Question-About-Contacting-Potential-Customers)

Well, I sold both!

The first two people I contacted last week wanted to buy at my asking price and they've both been shipped off. The deals were struck last week, but I wanted to want until the money was actually in my bank before I posted. Now, I'll be contacting the others on the list to say "sorry, that bowl is sold, but if you like, I can show you some others I've made..."

It sure would be nice if this new addiction of mine could at least pay for itself at some point :eek:

That is awesome Kenny. I don't really know what its like to sell a piece (other than a $25 pen), but I am sure it makes your time very rewarding. Congrats again!

Kenny - Congrats. All this does is help feed the addiction. It is so much fun ..... watchout for those gloat posts for new tools now that you have a little more money in your pocket.

It still feels amazing to me when someone is actually willing to pay for my work. It sure feeds the woodturning addiction. Congratulations
