Dave Monk Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 A grandma at the Farmers Market I met ordered trinket boxes for all (16) her Grand kids. The girls are a combination of cherry, maple and walnut. The boys are maple and walnut. I delivered them Friday and she ordered two more for freinds. Great order, but I was ready to have them done. The boxes measure 6" x 8" x 3" deep. dave BigD, Debi Shipman, Falcon and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgman Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 It's obvious you're retired Dave! Beautiful work! If you don't mind telling, what did you get for those? Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Monk Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Dan, I charged $40 a piece for these. Do you think that I priced them right? To answer your question on retired I would need to know your definition. My definition of retired is.......... likeing what you are doing and not feel trapped. I guess I have been retired most of my life. dave Edited September 25, 2016 by Dave Monk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I retired from my business in 2001. Then I turned my 40 year hobby of repairing clocks into full time. I'm still at it at almost 78 years old. I guess I don't need retirement especially when I love what I do. So good for you Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Dave, your boxes are beautiful. Your scrolling and inlay is flawless. Now I understand the stack of boxes in your earlier post. What a great present for that grandma to give her grandkids. $40 seems cheap to me for work of that quality but we all know how hard it is to charge for our work. Very, very, well done, Rob Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penquin Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Dave, those boxes are outstanding. Beautiful work and they will be keepsakes for life to the folks who receive them. Your the best judge of what you want for them regarding price if you are comfortable with what you got than that is the best answer. Your work is just great, wish I could do as well.
