mikesscrollsaw Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I've been working all last week so no scrollsawing in 7 days, so today I started early! A big thanks to all those that make and post patterns. Some of these came from this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesscrollsaw Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Could you all post up what you would sell these items for. A guy asked me for the Elvis portrait. My wife says 10$ I think that's way too cheap! I was thinking more like 30 to 40$. Framed Portraits are all 8.5" x 11" all will be framed. Trivets are about 8 inches across The word believe is 8 inches wide 2.75" tall Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjswoodcrafts Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Mike yeah 10 bucks is way too cheap, i sell mine for 25 for 1 person, 35 for 2, etc, but if a big family of 5 or more ill give em a good price, especially if you are making your own portrait patterns, way too much time for 10.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton717 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 you have been busy. everything looks great. I sell my 8x10 portraits for $20 framed with no glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dust Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 For celebrity portraits where pattens are readily available, and I stack cut 4 at a time, I get a $20 donation. I use dollar tree store frames. For special order portraits from a photo, with 1 or 2 heads, I get $75 for the first and $55 each for any additional ordered at the same time (for stack cutting).

tony coleman Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I CHARGE AROUND 40 EURO FOR POTRAITS,8 OF THAT IS ON THE FRAMES, I WILL CHARGE MORE SOMETIMES,DEPENDING ON THE COMPLEXITY,AND AMOUNT OF DETAIL IN THE PICTURE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesscrollsaw Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks for all of the responses! I've sold Elvis and two of the lighthouses for $30 each. Considering I stack cut them 4 at a time and they took me about 45 mins to complete (pattern to in the frame) I'd say that's pretty good. Framed in dollar store frames.

realfEZ Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 All are excellent cuttings Mike. What glue did use for the baskets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesscrollsaw Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Tightbond II But I really need to get a clear glue for some of these projects. The clean up with yellow glue can be brutal. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realfEZ Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Oh not really, that's tricky to assemble. One could use instant glue or white glue but it depends on how the basket is going to be used... May be beheaded nails and a drop of white glue but that is much difficult I suppose...
