I always find pricing hard, I think these things should be worth more, but in the end you have to price to sell. The bigger one is a little larger than I thought, so maybe a little over £100.
-
Hard to price others work, but I would say around £55 and £95. Is hard to judge size of smaller one though. What do you think Ian?

Andy, who produced video, is no arb, but would be unfair to call him part time. He lives an off grid lifestyle dependant on off grid pv and wood. He's a very experienced woodsman and imo if he is suggesting it then its worth it. Never done it though so don't speak from experience. I guess the question is, do you want to splash out on a new saw or spend an hour in the evening or your day off fixing what you already own.

Yes bud, stick to the old method for today. See you there.

All new double glazing is now covered by fitsa regs. All fitters must have the ticket to fit them. It's rubbish really. I think the test involves having to use at least 2 newspapers per window to fill gaps. You can fit your own or an unqualified can fit, but you have to get builing inspector out to inspect your work. He will issue the certificate the fitter should. If you fit them on the quiet, when you come to sell your house, you will have to take out indemnity insurance. This is no problem either really, just a bit annoying as can interfere with a sale. I fit a lot of windows (no ticket) and wouldn't dream of letting most fittets near my house. If you decide to fit your own you should be able to buy the windows for around £1000 from clyde windows. There windows are good and super cheap. This should save you £1500 for a weekends work. If your unsure what's involved, pm me and ill run you through it. James

Thanks guys very helpful. Can you recommend a reasonable machine Clive?

Any one know of a decent price label that will stick straight on wooden things, and come off fairly easily with no damage. Ive been sticking labels on the table next to it up till now, but sometimes my partner takes my stuff out and shes unsure what everything is/costs. Would be far easier if labels were stuck on to oblects. Many Thanks James

I do like that gray git, very rustic. Good work.

I don't really like turned hooks. I do like hooks cut from approriate root balls but that is hard to find.
-
Cleared it now, sorry.

My thoughts exactly, being in French only few people will understand it:)

Reminds me of the trees at angkor way. Loads of huge trees like the one pictured. Worth a look one day.

Nice lump, pm sent.

Just chatting with my local smith to see what he can do on hooks. Anyone got a good website for sourcing them?

If the job comes off its likely to be in 2 months time. I'd need it down to around 12% moisture by then, if not I couldn't use it. Id be willing to pay the same money I could get kiln dried imported wood for plus 10% as I'd rather use English. If its too wet, unfortunately it wouldn't be any good to me. James

How long is it, Im just pricing a shop fit, that requires a load of pine. Might take it off ya hands at the right price, if it comes through. Will you be kilning it?
-
My misses is hassling me to set Facebook page up, not really into it but know I should. My misses has a soap company so when we do shows/markets we do em together to save a little cash.

I couldn't agree more, problem is getting customers to pay for it. Forged hooks are costing around £10 each. So overheads for that piece go up to £80. Meaning I'd have to charge £140 for a coat hook, More ideally. Might be the odd customer who would pay that at market, but most wouldn't. Lately I've been trying to make stuff I can sell cheap to appeal to all, not just the rich few. I guess there's more money trying to tap the richer side, but how. The last market I did was Buckingham artisan food and craft market. A very rich area. But no one willing to pay silly money. But how/where do you best tap the rich?
