Popular Post OCtoolguy Posted June 22, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 I took the pattern from the last one and shrunk it down so I could use one of the short candles that came in the set. This one is 4 inches but I have a 2 & 3 also. Not sure yet which one will look better. Gotta wait for dark. new2woodwrk, john nelson, Jronn65 and 25 others 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember cutting a couple of Maybe Similar (Steve Good design) Years back. Then they both did sell fast.... Any How...........................Danny :+} Danny, I've got 3 patterns and chose this one to try out. I made the first one full size, the second one is the shortest and the 3rd one will be mid-size. My wife wanted a full set to sit on our kitchen counter. Anyway, to my point. I'm going to make them in sets of 3 and see what the market will bear. Knowing what folks are willing to pay for things that are home-made does give me the incentive to try more. It's coming to mind that people are starting to want quality instead of the Chinese crap that is everywhere and are will to pay for it. So, with that in mind, I'm going to start these out at $149.95 for a set including the battery operated candles. Plus shipping of course. I'm not going to use Etsy either. Why give them a share of the profits? Just my 2 cents.

danny Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Well Ray I see no reason for a set of 3 your asking price will be Good. It looks like your using Quality Hard wood. Yes? I only used the good ole BB back then and easily got $40 each.... I do like your thoughts. :+} OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still living in the last decade or so. I do use good wood. I buy all my wood from a yard that specializes in scroll saw folks. Chris, he guy who runs their online operation, always fixes me up with a box of scraps/cutoffs that they can't sell. So a trip out there is always like Christmas. You can't imagine how much purple heart I have just waiting for the right project. If you ever need great wood at a great price, check out cherokee Wood Products. danny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got such a conglomeration of wood in varying thickness that I can put together almost any combination a person might want. I'm even thinking of making a painted set out of poplar.

I bet they look great side by side. Dick heppnerguy OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Howe Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 It's been a while since you posted those neat candleholders. How did your pricing work out? OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did your pricing work out? Well, to be honest, my wife has me making them for Christmas gifts so I haven't sold any. It seems like everything I make for her, she wants to give as gifts. Now she just asked me to make another one of my votive candle holders. They are the most time consuming. But I enjoy making them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCtoolguy Posted November 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 It's not my pattern but I have no idea who created it either. I found it somewhere. Maybe Lumber Jocks or ??? Let me figure out where it's at on my PC and I'll send it to you in a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
