Ralph W. Bagnall replied to David Ennis's discussion Custommade.com in the group Custom Furniture Makers
"David, Custom Made, Etsy and even ebay give you a "store front" to sell your wares, but with any store front, you still need to advertise and bring folks to the store. I could write a book on inexpensive marketing for small businesses, if…"

Ralph W. Bagnall commented on Will Sampson's group Machinery & Power Tools
"The chains are moving, are the rollers? It is possible that the steel rods inside the rollers are turning, but the rubber part is not. Or that the gears on the ends of the rollers are turning but not turning the rods. Ralph"

Ralph W. Bagnall commented on Will Sampson's group Machinery & Power Tools
"It sounds like time to replace the rollers, blades or both. Also, is the drive for the rollers functioning properly? It should be chain/gear drive, but you might have a gear that is not properly gripping a shaft. It fits tight enough to drive the…"

Ralph W. Bagnall commented on Will Sampson's group CNC Circle
"You can get compression bits in smaller diameters which can help. Any sort of spiral leaves a somewhat fuzzy edge in plywoods, straight bits cut much slower but leave a far neater edge. If you need more specific info, please feel free to get in…"

Ralph W. Bagnall replied to Henk Cusveller's discussion Forrest sawblade in the group Custom Furniture Makers
"Henk,   I provide woodworking manufacturers and retailers with demo videos of their products. I recently completed a demo video for Holbren Tool (www.holbren.com) for the Ridge Carbide Super Blade that they carry.   I ran numerous…"

Ralph W. Bagnall commented on Scott Boschetti's group Home Based Professional Shops
"Ryan's comment reminds me why I have always tried to stay away from home owner's associations! I've only lived in one place that had one, on St. Croix in the Virgin Islands, and they were very reasonable. I just can't live with…"

Ralph W. Bagnall replied to James Lewis's discussion Lean in the furniture industry in the group Lean Mfg.
"Exactly James. Many think that Lean is for companies that make 10,000 identical parts. I work with my clients to show them that while they may not make the same parts over and over, the processes they use for making the custom parts are the same…"

Ralph W. Bagnall replied to L. J. Bolhuis's discussion French fitted cases in the group Custom Furniture Makers
"A CNC comes to my mind for this task. I would cut paper to the size of the drawers or shelves or whatever, lay out the tools as desired, then trace the outlines onto the paper.   This can then be scanned, and translated into the CAD/CAM…"

Ralph W. Bagnall replied to Lloyd Kerry's discussion Does anybody use Ezine articles to promote their business? in the group Social Media for Woodworkers
"Lloyd, Do you know the readership of that site? I am all for producing useful content to draw attention to your business. But be sure that the content is going where your customers are. If you are working B2B, there are many publications that…"

Ralph W. Bagnall replied to Hera Lighting's discussion Cabinet Lighting - IWF
"As a former shop dog, my advice is to show how to retrofit existing cabinets as much as installing in new. Custom cabinets can be built to accept lighting systems, but adding them to existing or "ready built" can be a frustrating…"

"I manage social media for Laguna Tools among others. Their booth, 5634, is not far away, I'll have to drop by and see what you have!"

"Jenna, Just as a tip, always mention you booth number when discussing trade shows so we know where to stop by! Ralph"
