Wow its not off my take directly(possibly to encourage first timers) but on ebay I sell maybe four times the amount. Some small price discounts using the offers system.

I would guess its the Seller applying this as etsy make discounts really easy.

It's not my site either! Mine is ecodryrack.

That's called a race to the bottom and I suggest never getting involved in that. I occasionally work for a retired doctor and he is soooo tight. Every job is a bodge as he's arrived at the cheapest quote. I tend to only reply if I've nothing else to do. As he's incredibly disorganised as well...

They are quite variable and rarely cheap. Yesterday I visited a local appliance shop and swapped a lamona 70/30 f/f oven and hob for a bosch oven and hob and a tecnix f/f and saved £159. All the howdens stuff was on rooster offers as well! Also the guys in the appliance shop took my cards and...

I'm certainly not in the multi million £ bracket. But perhaps at a level more relevant to the forums output! I do like the suggestion of incorporating Web addresses into ebay/etsy pics though nice and sneaky. I could sell a little cheaper than ebay as well(maybe 10%) and pocket the difference...

Ps I reckon any craft item is hard to sell at profit. Especially more rustic offerings. Although I often prefer them over imported tat.

Pine?

I'm still unconvinced of the merits of using a shop to sell(despite having made and wrapped fot shipping) but I'm nothing if not open to things. One result of my first conversation is its tempered my enthusiasm somewhat. But I'll follow through come what may.

Ps I love bees. 259 varieties but only one honey bee! Amazing.

Sorry I was just being daft. I didn't know what they meant and was curious about your story(sounds scary)

National? Wbc? A killer sting? Nuke?

It's one of the cheaper exotics price wise. I'd say a better choice than beech. Red Grandis maybe a touch cheaper.

I've never had any bleeding issues with sapele and water based paint. As you say its only an issue if there's a lot. Some mahogany had large amounts.(very hard to paint)

Try larch. .much cheaper.

Should be a super bench not quite as easy working as mahogany but a really good wood with not to much tannin.

I partly disagree about giving ones best in every situation. I would say never ever point out any fault but speak as though only others make balls ups. I'm interested in what style type of tables btw. Why tables? High or low end? Your story?

I would love to make a hay rake table btw. But can't face a grand in oak

First off I absolutely love making stuff out of wood. Even after many many years. However I have a fraught relationship with customers. Mostly because I hate what there asking me to do. And the pricing of said job. I'm a nice guy but passion brings its own issues. I don't struggle to find work...

They know the products sells because they sold a similar product for a while. They retained a couple and there always asked are those for sale. I can imagine why they no longer make these! But I figure there prices are out of date(if it was 100 3 years ago its 200 now)
