Old Dust Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 I just received my order for 1//8" 8 1/2" X 11" Baltic Burch from WoodEverStore.etsy.com and was very pleasantly surprised. I received 45 sheets and only 3 were not 100% clear one side. Price was only $49.95 with free shipping.. Look into this. John Old Dust.

Rockytime Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 That price sounds reasonable to me. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ike Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 I don't know I bought a sheet of 1/8 B.B for $21 and they cut it 4 pcs. for me. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 How big a sheet? OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Hmmm... $12 a 5' x 5' 1/8" sheet for me.. I've often thought about buying bulk for better pricing and chunk it up and sell it online.. Maybe I need to start another store online for scroll saw goods.. LOL OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don in brooklin on Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 I buy 1/8 BB in Ontario for 16.75 plus tax - 18.92 CDN. The size of the sheet is 60 inches by 60 inches. You would get 35 - 8 1/2 by 11's. About 55 cents. I only get 1 cut for transportation then $1 each cut so if I had them cut it down it would be way more than your $49. Being a cheap scape, I buy both 1/4 and 1/8 at the same time and they gang cut it and then I cut down to the size I need.

Woodmaster1 Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 I buy it for the same price as Kevin only I drive father to pick it up. Johnson's Workbench in Charlotte MI is the cheapest place and better quality than any place in the Ft. Wayne area.

OCtoolguy Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Do you folks factor in the cost of driving to/from? Wear & tear on your car, insurance and ???. Sometimes it's just cheaper to buy it and have it shipped. Living in California with $4 gas and lots of sitting on the freeway parking lots, I don't drive much unless the savings is huge or a special deal.

But the place I go is about 30 mile each way.. and good country road almost all the way there.. I get about 1 mile of city drive to get to the place and the city drive isn't even crowded.. I live in Michigan not California .. Government allows me $0.55 a mile for business.. My wife and daughter like to go because they have a couple thrift shops right near by that they like to shop at.. Only takes about 20-25 minutes to get there.. I almost took a job at the place last year.. They hired me but I declined the offer.. since the schedule they hired me for was every Fri-Mon. and the pay was worst then I make just playing around in my shop and my online store, LOL.. Getting up to their top pay would have been more like what I make in the shop and that would take a couple years to get to that plus.. I'd have to spend money on gas etc to get there.. I do very little driving for business.. at best about 800 mile a year.. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, it's hard for me to visualize living in a rural atmosphere. Around here, it's not fun to go anywhere. It takes 2 plus hours just to get out of town. And even then, you're not out of the fray until the next day. It's terrible. Another reason we are looking to relocate. kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
