I have to tell you a story RC. Many years ago I was at a carnival with my daughter, who was about 7 years old. She was a daredevil who would go on all the fastest rides. On our way we kept passing a tent housing a wood turning exhibition. I repeatedly suggested that we go in, with no luck After a few more death defying rides we were again outside of the tent and I tried one more time. “ come on let’s just go in and see what he is doing “. She looked at me with that starey eyed determination and said, “ I KNOW what he’s doing, making sawdust !”

You too.

Hello, thanks again for all the videos. I've really learned a lot!...Quick question when you get time, I'm using your recipe for friction polish and it looks great! However after being stored for awhile it loses that initial shine. For some of my projects I prefer a high gloss shine. Do you have any suggestions on how to achieve a higher gloss shine after applying your friction polish? Thanks again for your help!!

Sometimes that happens if the wood is really dry or partially punky. Mostly with softer wood. If I run across that I put a few coats of pure shellac (not the friction polish mix) . I gauge it by how much it absorbs into the wood. Basically your sealing the wood before the final finish. I add coats until it stops absorbing into the wood.

What is the device you using to measure the diameter in different videos and reason? Is it to measure the diameter of what needs to fit? have only watched a few videos so far but will be watching more of course.

It's a caliper. I use it to measure the size for the chuck.

How long did it take you to turn and finish these. And if I may ask, how much do you sell them for? Gary

It takes about 15 to 20 minutes and I sold them for 15.00.

Do you also make insert, Cost of making insert and wood to hold it would be around Aus $4 in materials, and labour , about 1.5 hours provided you had sewing skills as well. $15 sounds cheap to me

I got the inserts on Amazon. They work out to about $3.50 each. The wood is free. They take me about 15 minutes each.

Can i ask what is the going price on one small bowl . .

I sell these for 5 to 7 bucks depending where I am. But I'm not in it for the money. I can make about 7 to 10 an hour. So that's still pretty good money. Thanks for asking!

Nice, do you make the pin cushion?

Seems like if the cost is less than $4 per and they take 15 min. to make, your are margins decent but your hourly rate is abysmal. For sustainability I would advise rethinking your business model very quckly...unless you are doing it just for fun.

@@RcWoodturning ah, I see. You are not including your wage in the cost. With that clarification your wage is solid but there is no margin. If you plan for this to be more than a hobby you will still need to look at your model as it would not be a sustainable business.
