Lukes Show Essentials

Luke “I’ve been doing shows for 25 years in every part of the country and in all kinds of conditions. Here’s a list of supplies I always bring with me, besides of course my inventory, charge card machine, plenty of change, extra pens, and my display. I hope with this basic kit you’ll be able to meet whatever challenges come your way.”

Item	Intended Use
Duct Tape	XXX Important - attaches anything to anything.
Bungee Cords	Hold a display to a table, or possibly hold up the table.
Spring Clamps	Good all around fastener.
Step Stool or Ladder	If you were tall, you would be in the NBA not doing craft shows.
Hammer	A must have for pounding in stakes and fending off unwanted visitors.
Nylon Rope	Keep it handy for attaching tie down screws or dragging your car out of the mud.
409 or Similar Cleaner	Because even despite your best efforts stuff will get dirty.
Waterproof Coat	I know it's not gong to rain, just bring it.
Pliers	Tightens any bolt and converts Mesh Panels, so you don't have to try with a spring clamp.
Did We Mention Duct Tape?	You will need it. Do not leave home without it.
