[Dubz]

Sexualy tight!

Mmmmm. That's the way they're meant to be.

How long did it take to do just one joint?

 

[lgonzalez]

I'd love to have the time and skill required to create such a thing as this! As it happens I have neither in enough quantities haha!!

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

They probably took an hour each, maybe more? And i love that im able to do it! If i disnt have this skill or my drumming, i would hate life :/

Just the satisfaction of the end result is amazing!

 

[lgonzalez]

Only an hour? That pretty quick! I thought it'd take longer than that!

 

[Blondie]

No an hour each for each dovetail joint
That's dedication for ya, well done
It's gorgeous, simple & elegant!

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Yeah each corner! Then you need to plane it all down and finish it off, cut plane and fit a centre square, glueing and varnishing!

My mum will love it!

 

[JE_GT]

Atleast youre better at woodwork than you are at photography haha

Yeah each corner! Then you need to plane it all down and finish it off, cut plane and fit a centre square, glueing and varnishing!

My mum will love it!

Even more so as it was made by mummy's little soldier.

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Anybody want to buy one? For 9 THOUSAND quid?

:shock: Forum discount? :?

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

£8999 will even send it brimmed with man slide..

 

[Dubz]

What about for fellow I-music'ers?

 

[HigtonA]

In all seriousness, how much would you sell one for?

 

[lgonzalez]

No an hour each for each dovetail joint

Ah right! Oops my bad lol. That's crazy but in fairness the finish is top!

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

In all seriousness, how much would you sell one for?

Im not sure, i dont really know much about pricing, but theres a guy who lives in the lakes that does this kinda stuff like boxes and tables out of exotic wood hes chopped down.. And sells boxes smaller than that for thousands!
But it is flawless

If i was to price it by hour, it would probably be like £10-15 an hour, and if i put my mind to it i could make one in 4 hours i recon..

This is what people dont see, just looks like soke wood thrown together but someones really took time and effort to do it, and when they ask for £50 it doesnt seem worth it to anyone but rich wood lovers!
