Title: I hope that this generates guest traffic
Post by: johnsironsanctuary on August 15, 2013, 08:12:34 PM: Even if I don't sell any, we should get a few guests.

Post by: johnsironsanctuary on August 16, 2013, 07:20:42 AM: Good idea, Fred. I changed the counter from hidden to visible to all. Let's see what happens. It is still available to members at the original price.

Post by: fflintstone on August 16, 2013, 09:37:42 AM: what was the original price?

you could add more search terms, I dont know if you can add to the title but "king size" "iron age" "planet jr" "vintage style" etc would be good

Post by: fflintstone on August 16, 2013, 09:51:51 AM: You could take the original wood mock up, cut out “papaws”, add a mounting surface where you could put a piece of plasma cut plate with anyone’s name.

The work I do, we make wood tools, run prototypes, and if approved cast them in aluminum. I have to walk into the wood pattern room to pee.

Post by: mikeswrenches on August 16, 2013, 01:44:19 PM: I'm hoping that mine will generate some questions at this years Florida Flywheelers Tractor shows. They are very impressive wrenches, and a good value, IMHO.

Title: Re: I hope that this generates guest traffic
Post by: turnnut on March 28, 2014, 09:05:04 PM: oops, sorry about the extra w in Papaw.

do the t-shirts have the print on the back also ?

that would be good advertising walking around the flea markets
and on site auctions. even at the old gas engine & tractor shows.

Post by: Papaw on March 28, 2014, 09:30:09 PM: There is nothing on the back.
Notice that this is a campaign with a goal of 50 shirts ordered. If that goal is not reached, no shirts will be printed. No money will be collected either.
