"Thanks Greg for the input! Buckshot is interesting. I suppose whatever makes the most density I'm good with. "
Greg Little replied to Ryan Rabbass's discussion How to make good tent weights?
"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"

Greg Little replied to Ryan Rabbass's discussion How to make good tent weights?
"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…"

"thanks Richard, sent a friend request so I can pm you. I'm thinking the steel is better as it's more dense, and I've tried concrete in PVC. But I'm open to any solutions! "
Robert Wallis replied to Ryan Rabbass's discussion Any suggestions on my booth photo?
"The single will be enough. The main thing is that they see a stocked booth that has a professional presentation."

"Hi Robert,
Wow, thanks for all the input! This helps a lot. I got a number of good bullet points and plan to upgrade my entire setup and redo this shoot in my yard. I will have a double setup, do you recommend shooting the double or just the…"

"Here's a cropped version of your booth. The excess valence is cropped out, and the leaning panels are straightened up. The right tent leg needed to be in alignment with the panel. if I understand correctly, your panels are gray. If they are,…"

"Thanks Karl! Yes, I will have to do that. That is funny, I would ask any chance you're looking to switch now we could do a trade, but looks like you're too far for that. "
Ryan Rabbass replied to Ryan Rabbass's discussion How to make good tent weights?
"hi Karl,
thanks for the pictures! Great to see. You're right, barely visible. I will definitely contact a local welder. Thanks for the help!

- What is your website?
- http://www.sparkartwork.com
- What are the best things about art fairs
- When people love your art, they buy full price. They're happy, you're happy. Everyone walks away with a smile on their face. Also, just hanging out at nice shows, nice weather in nature with other artist friends.
- Best show ever and why
- St George Fine Arts Festival - I got a lot of comments that my work was different than what was around there, so I sold double what I've ever sold anywhere else. Also easy and close to my hometown.
- Worst show ever and why
- Hard to say, any show that I have to drive 4+ hours each way and barely cut a profit. Sometimes not in the best parts of town.
- Who referred you to ArtFairInsiders.com? Please be specific.
- Pro Panels
- What is one fun fact about yourself?
- I am an artist who does a good amount of shows yearly, but I also have multiple other businesses where I work on the computer. The shows are a nice way to get off the computer!
