Hi Guys,
I’m new here and was looking for advice.
I don’t consider myself a professional compaired to most of the work I see here!!!!!
So, my question is on pricing. I started in this hobby because I quit smoking!!!! I started quitting by vaping but didn’t like using the metal vaping devices. Being I have gray hair now I figured I could handle using a wood pipe. So I carved a pipe from wood and put the mechanics into the pipe so I could vape with that....
Turns out, I had a nack for wood carving or so people said. I thought to step up my game by buying a cnc machine to make them faster and sell them. The problem I have is I feel it like cheating!!!! Lol
The thinking behind the machine is that I’d rather spend two weeks designing a piece in the computer and make perfect cuts repeatedly then 3 days on one piece. Some of my guilt is eased by knowing that designing the piece in the computer is a skill in its own. That’s not to mention the skill in actually being able to set up the cnc to cut it. I’d like to post some pics of my work and get real craftsman here to tell me what my work is worth. I have thick skin so don’t hold back !!!!
