I'm sure some of you have made that suspended wine bottle holder from issue 31 (summer 2008). I just made my first one and have several people interested. Any suggestions on price? I used maple and walnut for mine. Thanks.

I never go below the 15-20 $ range. Don't sell yourself short. Besides it gets rid of the yard salers that think everything should be freeMay the wind at you back .....

Thank you. I was initially thinking somewhere in the 30 dollar range but wasn't sure. I'm in NY where everything is expensive so I think I will go with 35.00.
Oily, one thing I always try to avoid is selling myself short. I'd rather not make a sale than sell something too cheap. By the way, I hope you're feeling better.

The less intricate ones, just a slab of wood I get $18.00--- for that one I get $35.00. You did a nice job on it by the way."Still Montana Mike"

Thank you all again for your comments.
Carole, I already posted the 35.00 price and people have seen it so I can't change it at this point but I like your idea of 40 or two for 75. Too bad I didn't see your post beforehand.
Rolf, yeah I'll bring it Thursday. But it's going to pale in comparison to something else I just finished and will be bringing Thursday.

I have made quite a few of these, in fact, many just like the one pictured. I sell them for 25 dollars each. I've never had the price questioned. In my area I think that's a fair price.

by Quartz43Very interesting and well done projects. I have not tried a 1/8" blade but think I will. Can you tell us the brand of blade, tooth count and what bandsaw you are using. Sorry to be asking so many questions but you have the knowledge. Also, any tips for using that small of a blade.

by John Smiththanks Carole. I used the band saw with a 1/8" blade - not much different than the scroller but I have to use other methods to do the insides of the letters where the band saw can't reach. All the while, WISHING I had a scroll saw. and now, that I've got one, I'll be venturing back into dimensional...Yesterday, 07:21 PM

by handibunnyVery impressive work, John. I like the tooled leather look, the detailed calligraphy, and especially the rendition of the brushes and other tools that you use for your craft. It will be interesting to see how you incorporate the scroll saw into your work, and the opportunities it provides you.Yesterday, 06:31 PM

by John SmithThis is the finished project that I sort of "allured" to in my New Member post. The elements were cut out and attached individually in a "layered applique" fashion. Simple hand tools were used to add some "texture" to all of it. This is not wood or leather, it is HDU (High...Yesterday, 03:32 PM
