Lucky2 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Posted June 5, 2016 Yes Kevin, they can be a bit of a PITA at times, but, as you stated @ $10.00 per piece you can overlook that. Len WayneMahler 1 Quote
WayneMahler Posted June 5, 2016 Report Posted June 5, 2016 Kevin The more effort ad work we all put into something it seem the profit margin drops significantly. Still trying to figure out the right ratio. Quote

Scrolling Steve Posted June 5, 2016 Report Posted June 5, 2016 The little guys can be a lot of work, but folks do like them a lot....do not sell a lot of my work(mostly give to friends and family), but found that at 8.00 ea or three for 21.00 they sell really well. amazingkevin 1 Quote
rjR Posted June 5, 2016 Report Posted June 5, 2016 I have to try-- mini-bird house! The only mini-bids we have here are Humming birds and they like a shelf or a hanging plant for home! Small is harder than real on bird habitat! Quote

Ralph let me warn you i've had my fingers hammared so many time doing these in close quarters .It reminded me when i had lawn service and when the weed eater string got my ankles I always wonder about how many times it hit me before i cold move out of the way.It's got to be three digits,worse then being cained!
