"I didn't melt the lead. It is 50 lbs of buckshot in each piece of pvc. 17" tall with a screw on top.
The dumbbells are also 50 lbs (about 12" tall) and all I did was tap a 1/4" thread for an eyebolt and paint them"

"I have two different sets of tent weights. The PVC is lead filled and weights 50+ lbs at 17" tall. The dumbells are shorter but weigh 50 lbs. Both are easy to carry and transport. Most of the time i just use one set since 50 lbs per leg is…"

Easel backs for 8x10" wood frames help
I am a wood artist and making 25 picture frames with an easel back for table top use. These will be done with my Sinker Cypress and Lichtenberg wood burning style. Most of these will be for 8x10 photos.I can easily do the woodworking part but I really have no idea of the types of easel backs, their quality, mounting types, cost and where to purchase them.My research online for these has done more to confuse me than it has helped. I am hoping this will be something that the many painters and…See More
Greg Little replied to Lori Welch's discussion First-timer - need opinions on tents & weather
"The only pop up tent with a 100% vinyl waterproof top that I am aware of is the Vitabri. It is not cheap but you get what you pay for. I have a Vitabri and a Trimline and these two are the absolute best for their types."

Atlanta Dogwood Art Fest April 7-9, 2017 Review

Atlanta Dogwood Review...
Everything just seemed to fall in place. Stormy weather was predicted for our drive there but during the entire trip it seemed that it poured rain everywhere ahead of us and stopped everywhere just before we drove there. Wet cement and puddles but no rain...! We didn't have to turn on the windshield wipers at all. The closure of I-85 was north of where we were driving and we were able to drive…
What is your attitude now that election is over?
Posted on November 16, 2016 at 12:32pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
Now that the election is over no one can use it as an excuse for poor shows. Our first show after the election was this past weekend and it was a good show for us.
I sure hope that we all have excellent shows going forward without any more excuses or reasons to have excuses.
I cannot think of any negativity and I don't want any..
Howsa bout you? Are you looking forward to a great upcoming year ?????…
Three Rivers Art Festival ...Covington, LA
Posted on November 14, 2016 at 6:00pm 7 Comments 2 Likes
The Three Rivers fest is held in beautiful downtown Covington, La and is stretched out over a 5 block area. I like this setup because it makes it easy to visit all the booths withough having to zig-zag through a maze of booths and possible miss something. Not all shows have the advantage of this type of layout due to the show location.
Load in starts at 4:30pm and was a fairly easy load in and setup. With the daylight saving time it became dark early and I was glad I had my trusty…
