We have new neighbors next door. While I was working out in front of the
garage, the new guy came over to say hello. He saw my shop for the first
time and admired the tools. He is into cars and welding ore than woodwork.
I showed him a couple of projects underway. They I showed him the Tudor
bench I finished this spring. He looked at it and said "Wow, I bet that
would sell for $130 or more at a craft show."
I didn't tell him that I have just over $300 in wood, (cypress), $25 in
finishing material, more hours than I could count. He's right, I bet it
would bring at least $130!

Yep,
Ed's' neighbor fits the MUSTANG (Rustang) crowds reputation for
knowing value.

And now you know why we have to work really really hard to make a living
building furniture...
My next door neighbor came over last summer and saw the 2, 3 drawer bedroom
night stands I was building for a customer... He says Oh,,,those are
cute... I was thinking $2,000. cute.
Then, My sister and brother in-law were in the furniture business in Denver
a few years ago and had their living room littered with that Mexican Style
stuff with the broken and rusted hardware with the diesel and used motor oil
finish...
