grampa Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Cut this for a friend but it turned out crap (not good enough to sell but to good to throw away) so will only charge him a pint of guinness ....Paul Rob Roy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penquin Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Looks good to me, but we are our own worst judges. So if it is a pint go for it. I do think I would ask for a refill. jim penquin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryEA Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 If it's that bad Paul, give it to him and buy him a pint. Looks good to me. I think you know you did a fine job...huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampa Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 The Bs on the lettering are crap but not as crap as Everton, I don't want to sell anything that is not right because all I cut is by word of mouth and anything substandard won't cut it if your charging good money . I've just got back from the pub so I hope you know what I mean, I do, good night my friends......paul Rob Roy, wombatie and Wilson's Woodworking 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I know what you are talking about. Others see the art while the scroller sees the flaws, even the smallest ones that no one else can see. I talked about this very thing with my Effel Tower and If you aren't satisfied, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, some times. if you ain't happy, you just buck up and make another one.. but it looks great to me too Dick heppnerguy Bendita, wombatie and Pat W. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tdub4ever Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Looks great to me too Paul. Every time I cut something and show my girlfriend, she'll ask me if I'm happy with it. I usually say no and point out why. She laughs at me and says, "you're the only one that will ever notice that." Which is true. I'll sell a piece that I'm not happy with and I just know when the customer shows up they will change their mind because it isn't good enough. But, they always love it and order more. We see all the lines we mess up on, but the customer never sees the pattern so they have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirithorse Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Hi, Paul, I agree with the group that it definitely is a fine looking project but, I agree with your statement that you want your work to be as good as possible for word of mouth sales. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
