Simple items to sell at events 

It's nice of you to give helpful and honest information. I probably won't make much money because for now it's a hobby but great ideas for gifts! Thank you!

Thank you for all the great info. I have been digging into making some acrylic signs for doors and maybe some cabinets. Just looking in to making some of my own stuff! New ideas are always good. Again thank you 😊

Very helpful video. You answered many questions I have been having as well as gave me some new ideas for products. Thank you for sharing 🤗

I grew up in Perry County so I can understand you when you "tawk". lol Thanks for the good ideas and keep 'em coming!

Thanks for all the info. I'm so excited to receive my engraver.

Nice to see someone from Chilton County. I graduated there. Followed, just bought a fiber laser and learning as much as I can.

Had a lot of similar items at our first vendor market. Flasks did not sell at all, but we did sell some small engraved shot glasses and the wooden bottle openers.

I have my first craft fair tomorrow, wish I’d watched this earlier today lol😂 I’ve had so much on this week, and a few commissions I didn’t have much time to stock up on much

Thanks for the shout out! Love being able to chat and share insights at our local events!!

Enjoyed your video.. great sales approach. I do Farmers Markets down in the Panama City Beach area. I'm located close to you in Clay County Alabama.. Lineville. Been running a CNC for a year and have a laser coming this week. You're correct you have to have something that makes you unique in the market place.

good job i enjoy what you say and it dose make a lot of sense. On smalls

Thanks for this video. I live all the way in London, so I am not able to attend the event. I'll research whether there are similar events in the UK. Thanks for all your helpful tips. I have a Sculfun S9 laser, which was a gift for Christmas. I immediately noticed how slow it is. So, I'm saving up for a faster laser.

New to engraving. New hobbie Thanks for all the advice. Stay safe, my brother. Retired after 38 years.

Thanks for all the tips! Just wish I had some events to go to. Covid killed all my previous shows!😢

your pen! great idea man! 😂❤

Love your videos! Thanks very informative. One question I don't see a video on your laser setup for shows, can you please share in a video. thanks again and best of luck!

Hey Clack, you think you could give us a tour of the mobile shack as far as how you got your exhaust and stuff set up? Im looking to build myself a mobile unit and any ideas will be greatly appreciated

You can put on some of them have a blessed day

Gadsden flag is a nice touch. I'll subscribe :-)

Great stuff. :)

Jason and Brooke talk about you on their channel, so here I am to subscribe

Great video! .. i have so many questions in my mind suddenly ... Could be ready to set something up like this for in a month ? I'd need to apply to my town fairs, make the jigs and tests each object to be sure about the setting and make some examples.. could probably buy and extra machine or two, with a possibility of sending them back before the first 30 days in case i didn't sell enough .. and more questions definitely, like about the air purifier etc .. I'd need a good 20 on the phone with you 😅.... But I'm also really needing to do something exactly like that, long story I'll spare you ...... .

I live in Ferryhill, County Durham two miles away is the village of Chilton but I can't come to see you which is a bummer. Thing is I live in England not the US.

Thanks for sharing

Do you have a video on creating the key chain jig from your Etsy store. I am very much of a beginner but would love to learn to create keychains for gifting

I just stumbled on your channel. I'm looking into getting into laser engraving. What portable unit do you use for engraving? Tyfs!

Hey man, I got the tool d1, love your jigs! I was having an issue getting the crosshair to turn on using the xtool software. Any suggestions?

What is the best type and power of laser YOU RECOMMEND for taking to a show?

I see you have the hip flasks! I have been trying to get the settings right on my 20w laser for those for weeks. What are your settings for a 20w diode laser? Also, do you try to just "burn" the leather and not get to the stainless underneath or do you try to burn it all off right down to the stainless?

I recently bought your jig file. Works great!. What do you to keep the char from the birn marks on the sides of the items you cut from coming off on people's hands? Do you apply a seal on them, sand them, wipe them? Thanks!

Great ideas and tips. Take care of your back and say hi to MayMay for me when you go to the event.

Hi Clack, do you use an extension cord on-site? If so, do you find that you need to make any adjustments to the settings for cutting or engraving any materials?

Would you share a link to your portable air purifier that you use at events? Thanks!

What power of engraver do you use on site at the events? I will be looking into an Omtech 100 watt engraver by the end of the year.

Unfortunately non of the shows in Canada will allow a laser machine to operate on site due to safety and insurance issues

What kind of wood do you use on your cutouts and where do you get it. Big box stores are a hit and miss.

Good afternoon, I was wondering if you have made or going to make the trip to Canton, Ms for the Canton flea market?

Just wondering where you get your necklaces for the dog tags please?

hi, love the pet tags, do you find they scratch easy or are they robust

I subscribed!

Where’s the best place to come up with ideas for the different quotes for the different items?

Hi, is it possible to do multiple engraves of coasters using xtools D1 rather than one at a time?

Wouldnt a fiber liser be perfedt for super fast engravings ?

Do you use any kind of finish on the things you sell at these events?

You mentioned an air purifier. Which one do you use?

Is it an issue to properly ventilate and protect the eyes of spectators at these shows?

Can you share a link for the generator you mentioned ?

What laser do you take to the events and how do you power it?

Has anyone ever told you that you are underpricing your items? 😂 It does make it easier when it’s more of a hobby than a primary job that needs to pay all the builds.

What lasers do you set up at the shows?

What battery backup do you use?

The problem with you under pricing though, is that no one can compete at a level that sustains them. I make high end custom knives...they are valued at thousands of dollars each. "Forged in Fire" hobbyist makers have basically destroyed the entire market...because even though they aren't making anywhere near the same level of quality or performance, and even though those hobbyists spend similar time on their work, with similar materials costs...customers invariably think two knives are better than one lol. So the fact that they don't care how much they make has hurt the entire market for anyone doing it for a living. I've nearly pulled out of the custom knife market completely...with over 12yrs invested in it. It simply can't provide a living wage anymore. Also, don't take this as any sort of negative commentary. I was just pointing out the financial aspect and ramifications when it comes to hobbyist pricing being different than professional pricing. Great video though man, thank you for sharing.

What Laser do you use at events

Do you have any experience with the omtect k40+ models

Do you seal your wooden keychains?

Can you sharevwhere you get your translucent neon motel key fobs? I keep finding vinyl ones. Also, those people complaining about you talking in a video where your intent is to explain, I have to guess they are possibly younger and used to tik tok, getting news from soundbites, and possibly suffer a short attention spans. This has been a trend for years. People don't read in-depth articles (if they're even written), news shows go for sensationalism and fast, short coverage, RU-vid pushes Shorts, etc. Its a sad, worrying trend.

Can i get involved please im in uk tho think ur american but im after apprenticeship

When talking on should be showing at the same time would be helpful

Just found you, I'm in Elmore county. How do I contact you?

Large pen is hard to handle.

Green screening!!!

5.58 and still talking about nothing
