Shamelessly whoring my website since 1999
Last week, the second of two dining tables was picked up by an friend. I made these things at his and his wife's insistence and thought I was doing it as a favor as I have never been paid for my hobbyist wooddorking.
Last night at a party at their house, the lady tucks an M-note in my shirt pocket and goes on and on about how pleased she is with her new tables.
I did the "aw, shucks - 'twern't 'nuttin" routine, but now I have an idea of what others think of my work - and I can afford a decent tablesaw and planer :-) Not only that, but some of the other folks were questioning me about "do ya think you could make a burfl for us?"

Dear Doug,
Being a dumb Canuck, can you please tell me what an "M-note" is?
Tainjewberrymush,
David.
Congratulations. Now that you have set a standard for pricing I'm going to follow suit Nothing I do will be sold for less than an M-note per pair.
I'm sure you had a smile when you went to bed that night. Ed
It's one of those Roman Numeral things - one more zero than a C-note.
-Doug
Actually, it was the party that did it ... keep going to parties and you'll have more work than you can handle. DAMHIKT
Congratulations!
100% equivalency :-)

What the heck is a C note????
Searcher1
Sheesh, don't they teach anything in school anymore?
I = 1 V = 5 X = 10 L = 50 C = 100 D = 500 M = 1000
A check, of course.
-Doug
Ahh, me dumb canuck too. Now it begins to make sense...was thinking, if an M-note is less then a C-note then seems like a very bad deal to me, cause really it would take more then a few C-notes to make me think that I got "paid" (vrs a token of thanks from a friend). Never made the roman numeral connection.
I thought such notes were being taken out of circulation as they were just the tools of drug dealers and terrorists? Well according to the government, anyway....real story is they want more trackable transactions to keep ppl from skipping out on taxes... :)

She had an actual M- note or was that a check.... I cannot recall having seen one in circulation. I am sure that even at the price that you were paid, she recognized a bargain.
Close, Bobus
MC == 1100 CM == 900
Dougus
In the Latin numbering scheme, "C" means 100, and "M" means 1,000. Placing a C before an M means "100 less than" so MC means 900.
Bobus
Aww..... An m-note would have been a prize on top of the surprise. Any way, good going.
Thanks Leon. The biggest bill I recall having held in my hot little hands was a D-note, and that has been some time ago. The C-note has been the largest in circulation for quite a few years - I think.
Everyone's fixated on the "M-note". I understood that part. But what's a burfl? O.
My dad gave us a real one when we got married... "Course, it was Canadian, so only about a 3/4 M...

I don't have any relatives I'd be willing to do that big a favor for, let alone a friend. Nice you got paid, even tho you didn't say what your materials costs were, and how long the labor took.
So, how much an hour does it figure out to?
JOAT Don't e-mail me while I'm breathing.

No, the "G" is a string, Rod.
GigoloMan got a thousand dollars from the lady. Though he says it was for wooddorking, the ex- Heidi Fleiss team has been mobilized.
