For the hobbyist woodworkers out there who are employed but like to do woodworking on the side.
Thanks
Thanks
Yeah you're right. I was actually referring to the stuff you make.I don’t very often sell tools as usually I regret it at some point but I’d consider donating to a charity or say to member who was ( god forbid) a victim of the thieving scum that take other people’s tools and destroy their livelihoods .
My apologies I’m easily confused 😕Yeah you're right. I was actually referring to the stuff you make.
Cheers
And that is the biggest problem. It might be relatively easy to make stuff for us who are interested in doing so, but getting a decent price for it is another matter. I spent over 20 years designing and making wooden furniture, so I know what a struggle it is.I've had people tell me that I should sell my stuff plenty of times and the conversation usually goes something along the lines of -
Them: (picks up and admires one of my pieces) You should sell your stuff on the internet.
Me: Nobody wants to pay a fair price because they don't understand how much time and effort goes into it. That piece took me 4 hours to make, how much would you be happy to pay if you saw that in a shop somewhere?
Them: £15
Genuine question, how many have you sold.He now has them for sale in his shop at £150 with an agreed percentage split when they sell.
