I am sitting in my recliner spinning on my EEW 6 while I watch. I would love to go to Rhinebeck, but it is a long way from Texas. I for one am glad you like to focus on the design and building of things, because without that focus there might not be a EEW 6. Blessings.
Don't worry, I plan to continue focusing on making and improving my products as my top priority. I'm just trying to figure out what else I can do and learn about getting more people using the EEW. The more I sell the cheaper I can make the price and I also just feel good about how I'm spending my time when more people use the products I'm making.
@@DreamingRobotsBlog I think going to festivals and such is a good thing too because it gives you direct interaction with people which is always good for you and your product. I love mine so much I want everyone to know what a great wheel it is (and I tell everyone I know who spins). I just wanted you to know that I appreciate the way you do things and how much you care about getting it right.
Thanks for the tour! I'd suggest having some COLORFUL skeins spun on the Nano or the EEW 6 laying around.....I always gravitate towards luscious fibers!
Thanks for the tour! Keep doing what you do best...if online sales work best for you then continue. Getting spread thin can burn you out. I love my 6.0 so much! You put so much thought into it and listened to spinners.
I agree. One thing missing in your booth is color. It is very simple and focuses on the wheels which is good but you need to capture people's attentions who are being tantalized by all sorts of color and wool. One thing you could do is get ribbons the colors of the spindles and have them attached to the black table cloths. (diagonal stripes or something) Then with some extra ribbon make tassels or something similar to hang on your signs. A pop of colors that reflect your product.
Maybe find someone who sells fibers that would be happy to add your EELS, with some business cards. If nothing more than to create exposure. In France there are weekly markets and many folks team up or piggieback products onto a main stall. I am in the UK and youtube exposed me to your eels. Father Xmas is ordering the nano for me, so I am counting the days. One is never to old for some of that Xmas present joy. Thanks for the walk around. As for engineers being salesmen, I would say that was always a big topic when I was growing up. Dad and 3 of his 4 sons, all engineers. Mom and I were fiber fanatics... So dinner was.... engineering talk. Ha ha. But yes, the days dad had a huge white tent set up in the garden and the military brass came around for a BBQ, was part of the business side. But all the men at home preferred being at their soldering irons etc. (That was in the 1970s, in the days before computers, but when those came along, that was added to their daily routine.) Lovely to see your talents making the lives of fiber fans better.
