i have sent this about 12 times.
redundant.
but, like the 50 mile theory...it works.
always.
easy is good.
easy is better.
inexpensive is good.
cheap is bad.
selling to folks near you is better than shipping, wholesale
and commission. sell 80 percent for cash and your life
gets better fast.
my sale will be december 9-10...late, after everyone else has
had their boutiques. i want people to buy `themselves` a gift.
works like a charm. remember, you are selling to adults, with
money...not kids at a mall. when folks get my card in the mail they
make a decision right there and then...`hey, louise, let's go to mel's and
get a pot, ok?` `sure/stick the card on the fridge`. and, we know that
is how it goes. or, they throw it in the trash. if 25 percent of those i
send cards to show up...i sell out in about 6 hours. 856 cards will be sent
from my data base/address list..made into labels. i sold about 16 pots last
week. those casual sales will more than pay for my entire mailing, set up,
refreshments etc. for my holiday sale, of course that money also paid
for gas, lights and clay/glaze for the show..so, every dollar made at the
show should go into the fire proof safe in the basement.
so.
go to my website below.
click on the clayart page.
see the plan for a gravity kiln vent.
i am more and more convinced that a good piece of four
inch pvc/sewer, thick pipe will work as well as stainless.
it is the vapors that rot the pipe, not the heat. run the stainless one
inch pipe from the kiln to the pvc. angle up.
hell, it is just a chimney.
