'm just gonna sell my tools and go fishing, I think.

[stoutman]

Why? Because you can't make a tacky looking tilt-top table??

Just send your tools to me. I will cover the shipping costs.

[David]

Gee, Amazon has free shipping. Stoutman isn't being very competitive!

But once everybody sees those pictures, there will be a glut on the used tool market and there won't be any woodworkers left to buy them.

Personally, I sometimes look at the stuff Tom Plamann makes

and think about giving up my tools. But then I remember that I do this for fun, and as a hobby, and even if I never bring a stick of furniture into the house, it's better than going out to the bars and casino's... Of course, I've never told SWMBO that last bit...

Funny looking dart boards...no numbers...

[Andy]

Yeah, why else would they flip up besides to throw darts at them? I was thinking the same thing. I wonder what kind of finish is self-healing for use on a dart board.

[jo4hn]

Nah, did one of those with my Sawzall. No sweat. j4

[Robatoy]

Me too...pruning blade, right? Or The "Demolisher"? Hold it all together with a roofing nailer till the JB Weld dries, right?

Yabbut.... at those prices, you don't need to sell more than a handful of pieces a year to make a pretty decent living...

[Fred MacMurray]

[Steve Peterson]

OTOH, did you observe the amount of time that went into these pieces, on spec? Apparently, he has other means of support. If he makes a set every couple years, he isn't getting rich by woodworking.

You're a piker. Did one with my scout pocket knife and glued it up with self-rendered pitch extract.

Bars and casinos are cheaper.

If he sells one set every two years that is $60,000 a year. In my book that is a *very* good living - and for doing something he loves. The material cost on the two tables probably isn't more than a couple of thousand, all the cost is in the labor. If I thought I could gross $60K annually doing woodworking I'd be all over it.

umm... I think you've been quite heartily "tipped off" recently... ?

[Robatoy]

Poppycock and balderdash. All done with waterjet CNC's, lasers and CAD/CAM. . . . . . . . . . . . .....or not.

Huh? Did I miss something?
