a busy couple of days...

[mikesscrollsaw]

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.

 

[mikesscrollsaw]

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!

Very nice cuttings Mike, Im from the UK so I don't know what they sell for but 10$ for the elvis portrait is a bit cheap.........Paul

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

you have been busy. everything looks great.

I sell my 8x10 portraits for $20 framed with no glass.

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).

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.

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.

All are excellent cuttings Mike.

What glue did use for the baskets?

[mikesscrollsaw]

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?

[realfEZ]

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...

 

Thanks
