Soooo after a lengthy and very informative conversation with Mike I have decided to sell the artwork at £250 each. My rational has changed after speaking with Mike, there is a lot of things I didn’t factor in............

As someone who is hoping to really get in to becoming a maker towards the end of this year, I have been following the pricing aspects of this thread with interest! Thanks Chaps, it's been great food for thought for me.

Thanks,
Andy

Might be worth you asking the question again when the time comes Andy, lots of different things to consider that will affect how you price things.

May be Lee could have a sticky called pricing considerations.,? Only after talking to Mike who obviously is heavily into the pricing because it's his full-time occupation I found things that I hadn't even considered. For instance I went down to the Wood yard to pick out some materials by the time I had finished it works three hours including the drive time. Then there were the prototype's that didn't quite work, and also some of the attempted finished work where the wood had hidden problems, and had to be discarded halfway through. Then the time creating the website to advertise the stuff the list goes on and on. And also at some point like Mike said it goes from a hobby or part-time job to where the taxman becomes interested in what you are selling. Anyway there was just a thought.

The Taxman - Try to look on that as a positive, whilst tax returns are a PITA, you only pay tax if you have made a profit, something that you are obviously hoping to do. G.

In an earlier post I referred to myself as grey old git, don't know where the grumpy bit came from. I can only guess someone has been talking to my wife!!!

Sorry mate my old man is called Geoffrey, it must have been a freudian slip. I'll retract the grumpy bit if you are going to have a huff about it! ;)

[GEOFFREY]

Your dad must be ok, all the best people are called Geoffrey. Anyway don't bother with the retraction, I'm grumpy now!!! G.

Three more , I have been using different woods to see how they work with some models

I have to chip in and say that these are works of art. Most artist do not make their own paint and brushes so using tools is part and parcel. I work a lot in wood and your choices are sweet. What size are these pieces?

BTW I remember Geoffrey when he was in rainbow;-)
