mikesscrollsaw Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Not entirely a scrollsaw project however my scrollsaw was used to make portions of this. I got the idea from an old wood magazine I had One is walnut and oak, the other is a soft maple and purpleheart. Finished with Mohawk clear gloss These are for my craft show in April. Just gotta get one more glass dish from Walmart. What are your thoughts? Price? The glass dish is $7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Excellent work Mike. I really like the design and the wood choices. Thanks for sharing them with us. Have you made up a pattern for this one. If so I would be interested in it. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesscrollsaw Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 The pattern came out of a wood magazine from 2006. I could copy it and post it I guess, or does that violate forum rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It most certainly would violate copyright law doing it that way. If you got written permission to do that from the magazine company then it would be ok. What magazine did it come out of? If you could give me more information on the name and any other information I can look it up perhaps in the library or find it online.

Oges Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Very nice Mike, not sure on the pricing, would depend on the price of the timber and the dish, and of course some extra on top to make it worth your while A downloadable plan can be purchased for $2.75 here: http://www.woodstore.net/hotdishholder.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesscrollsaw Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 The dish was 7$, the wood and materials (glue 2 blades sand paper and clear coat) was about $12 I think. Took me about 3 hours to make. On the oak/walnut one the wood was all free! I guess my real question should have been what would you pay for it instead of what would you charge. Several items I've made I just can't charge what it costs in labor. No one would pay that much. So some items I get hammered on then others I can hammer back and make up for it. Figuring cost is always hard for me. I don't wanna ask too much but can't do it for free either. Anyway. Thanks for all the comments.

wombatie Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 My Mom was always saying "What you loose on the roundabout you gain on the swing" and that is what we all do. Somethings would never get sold if we priced them at what they are really worth. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inspirations Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I WOULD SAY THAT THESE ARE QUALITY DISH TRAYS SO DO NOT GIVE THEM AWAY,I would not supply the Casarole dish, only have one for display purposes,this will reduce your cost and improve your profit if i was selling these i would price them at $39 each if customer requires it with dish $48 THEY WILL SELL. ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR CRAFT FAIR BRIAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR CRAFT FAIR BRIAN that's about what I was thinking! (40 with the glass dish) however you must supply the glass dish because the tray is made to fit this specific dish. the length is made for the length of the dish and the handles are an outline of the handle of that specific dish. The glass handle fits exactly in the wood handle. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realfEZ Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Awesome! Looks very safe to use too... I was wondering what would stop the dish from slipping then figured it out. Great pictures Mike, thanks for the effort. fEZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikesscrollsaw Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Sometimes you've gotta go look at old issues you have to see stuff you missed. I don't know what made me look in this one but thought wow I could do that. I like it. Thinking it might be a Xmas gift for mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
