That stuff is total quality @slim63
It deserves full exposure mate.....
You are selling your work short.
I am not surprised you 'mate' sells it fast.
One of those tables in the right environment would be £500 plus
That I like!!Its true I am a rubbish salesman, loads of people have told me I undervalue what I do but I don't really have a clue about how to get it seen by a wider market or make decent money off it, any suggestions are always welcome
Here is another small coffee table I just finished, I know you are all going to tell me its too cheap but I value it at 50 quid because one end twisted a bit under welding, I would have only said £60 if it were dead straight
Yep. Like the clocks.
Let me know if you do any wall clock versions like those. I'd definitely take a couple...one for us and one for a mate.
Something like this ?
I have to take that one to bits & redo the finish as the lacquer reacted on it for some reason & I have another nicer one finished that I am waiting on a mechanism for, I could probably have a couple for sale next week so will give you a shout
Shouldn't be a problem as long as I can source the right bits cougar, will pm you a price in a moment
That is awesome..
I cant make stuff to that sort of quality & certainly cant make loads the same like those companies can because I don't have the time the space or the kit but I do see what you mean, I'm genuinely shocked at some of the prices
I'm not into mass producing stuff, almost everything I make is a one off simply because it depends on what parts I can lay my hands on at the time, that could be seen as a bonus for some people
Yes I'd love to get a contact in an outlet in London & start making some decent money off this stuff, I searched for places that might be interested but don't really know what I'm looking for to be honest
As for glass I know what you mean Andy, getting glass cut to specific sizes is expensive especially when the edges have to be rounded/polished, I have found a place that deals in second hand furniture & they do scrap quite a few tables etc, the glass goes in a skip so when I get time I am thinking I should go & see if I can buy some of the smaller pieces & build around those
I have a great glass chess board that I could easily build a table around but its not toughened glass so I wont do it because of the safety issue, no way do I want to be responsible for someone getting hurt so that will probably go in the bin
Here's an idea for the glass - charity furniture warehouses. There is a massive Help the Aged place near me facepalm: saying that is just asking for trouble on here!) that has a massive throughput of all sorts of furniture involving plenty of glass.....anything near you??
