Thanks for all your comments.

When one project ends, another begins. Let the work inspire you. Don’t buy cheap tools. I have heard that and now know it is true. You have a great eye, and it appears a good imagination. It caught my eye.

We all want to see where you are going.

This is a very forward piece. Solid looking and also pretty blue, which is most wood’s favourite colour. Great legs, impressive.

Thanks guys. It looks blue in the pics, but actualy it’s dark grey, almost black. The camera flash has made the blue of the wall reflect on it even though it’s a matt finish.

As for cheap tools, there is a saying here, ‘i can’t afford to buy cheap’
Unfortunately at the moment, cheap is all I can afford. The table saw i bought is actually not that bad for the price, just need to make a better fence system for it. Just the other day I took it off it’s dinky pressed tin stand and mounted it in a heavy particleboard cabinet and that has made a world of difference. Next I will replace the extruded aluminium top with something more solid and flat. Depends what i find for free usually.

Free is good. Checked out your blog on this piece. Well done. Suprised that you had little response. From what I could see it was well done. Maybe you can make some smaller pieces and sell them on commission? If that is possible where you live?

Yeah Doc, it is possible, but i need to get some more press and make a name for myself. I’m gearing up to have a bit of an exhibition. Mainly i want to see how much interest there is in the stuff i like to make, and how much money people are willing to spend on it.
I’ve been a street performer all of my adult life. Some times i get paid really well to do it at festivals, other times i just go out, do a show and people give me what they think the show is worth, or what they can afford.
I like the second method better, so direct and honest an exchange is rare these days.
To that end i will sell my wares at the exhibition in the same way. people can pay what they think it is worth.
As most of the materials are free, there won’t be much to lose. I will then know what people like and how much they think it’s worth.
It should also generate some interest and maybe the commisions will come rolling in.

Slick man!!

Hope yourway works for you. :) Might take a portfolio to gallery that sells stuff like yours and have them sell for you. Krenov did it that way til he got well known? For me I live in a remote farm area in MN. You know what I’d be paid LOL!

Good hunting!

It’s just for the first time Doc, after I know what people are willing to pay given the choice, then i will be free to stretch their will as much as I can.
Most people here are fairly low income earners, but every where there is a percentage of ‘rich’ people.
I’d like to be able to provide something unique, staylish, and affordable.

You got unique and style down. issue is minimum wage? Greg the box maker has posted about his experiences selling his very unique boxes.

Mark Da Cue has written extensively about his journey. great stuff!

Good luck!
