Maybe someday I'll ask if I can get a booth at the open house.

Any time you want a booth I'll save you some space.  I'm still looking for vendors for this year.  Just let me know.

Been there, I don't know how you read into that that times were 'so tough ' that you would need to pray for me. Times are fine. This is how I run my very small Business. I am not Walmart or Amazon, nor do I want to be. I am retired. I do many different things and making some benches and tables are a small part of that. I have limited shop space and time so have have to make choices and these are the choices I make. I also have trees to cut, logs to mill. Equipment to repair. So yeah, I make choices on what to spend money on and when is the right time. I would love to be a riteleg dealer and sell their legs outright, but the market isn't here. In a way I am sort of a reseller for them and have their catalogs for my clients and steer them in that direction when I can, which has worked well on several occasions.

Well that's very kind thank you! I will have to see how things shake out in the coming months. If I can find a trailer, it might be do-able.

Ah....what kind of vendors would you like? That is, what kind of things would these vendors sell?
