A lot of people turn their noses up at craft show prices - like they're expecting garage sale prices. Artisan and creative work is so undervalued, it's crazy. You're expected to work for peanuts "for love of the craft." Glad to see you leading the charge on pricing your work properly, Dave!

Definitely agree with not under valuing your time and work. I would caution anyone from totally ditching the fancy math though, you can seriously under estimate your day rate if you don't understand margin and are only looking at your own labor. Also there is a reality check too, if you can only make 4 of those a day and your day rate is 500, that's an expensive beer caddy that likely won't sell, so be realistic with what you make and it needs to be very efficient or really unique in order to sell for the price you need it to. Love that you are one of the few to talk numbers over the years and look forward to the update on these and what else you make for the show.

Great project and great video as always. After reading some comments I have to agree. People definitely snub their nose up at craft shows expecting some great deal. It's all trial and error. You find the shows that bring in good artisans that do great work and know how to price theirselves. Finding the right shows is important as well. Dont do just any show.

So true! You not only have to make sure you do not undervalue yourself, you have to make sure you do not allow others to undervalue you. Lowering your price because someone is complaining about it, is not only allowing them to undervalue, you are participating in that undervaluing.

Sadly it is often the artist that undervalues their own work, not the clients. Simultaneously shooting themselves in the foot and bringing down expectations for the rest of the designers.

@birdmun 6 жыл бұрын

Would not an "endcap" pattern and a flush trim bit in your router speed up the batching of parts? Could one maybe even have all the holes pre-drilled in the pattern to transfer to the blank and then go back and drill the 1/4" holes in to the sides after everything is glued up?

@MakeSomething 6 жыл бұрын

I’m sure it would!

@birdmun 6 жыл бұрын

Stupid human question. Could you cut the rectangular plates for the endcaps, adhere your pattern to the plates and simply route the whole thing at once or should you really cut off most of the excess and then use the flush router to clean things up? Totally different note. I remembered seeing Iggy Swan making a custom jig for his table saw to make angled cuts repeatedly. Instead of adhering a pattern and then having to remove it, building a jig to quickly make the angled top cuts would probably be a better plan, huh?

@lbritt6868 6 жыл бұрын

Both approaches you've mentioned are valid paths. I make angled versions and another with a more rounded, wavy endcap. I have a table saw jig for angled version and a template for the wavy version. Yes cut away as much material on bandsaw before attacking with a router. Just makes it easier.

Iv'e been thinking to do a craft fair. after i make something and to price it to where its worth my time. the price is higher than i think people may pay. So i was thinking to make a high end version and a budget version. so the customers would have a choice of which one they want to buy. have you or any one else reading this tried this tactic? whats you opinion?

@MakeSomething 6 жыл бұрын

Tough call. When I do craft shows I don't make any variants of one product. Too much choice leads to the buyer not knowing what to do and walking away to think about it. Many times they don't come back. That being said, I've never tried this technique.
