Great Book For All Woodworkers!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Woodworker's Guide to Pricing Your Work (Paperback)
This is a must have for anyone selling (or thinking of selling) their own woodworking products. The book is very easy to understand and includes information on everything from pricing small craft products to high-end antique reproduction furniture. There is also a lot of information on record-keeping and forms that you can customize for your own business. If you are a woodworker, and have ever asked yourself "How much should I sell this for?" Or if you have a business, and you want to do everything you can to make it successful, this is the book for you!!

This review is from: The Woodworker's Guide to Pricing Your Work: How to Calculate the Value of Your Time, Materials and Craftsmanship to Make Money from Your Woodworking (Paperback)
This book does a good job of making you think of all of the costs that you could incur to run a woodworking shop (even a very small one) and gives good ideas on where and how to sell your projects.

This review is from: The Woodworker's Guide to Pricing Your Work (Popular Woodworking) (Paperback)
Ever go to a craft show where things are really selling? Except for that lonely person sitting behind a card table reading a book or knitting. This book explains WHY that's happening and how to avoid it.
Ever try to sell things with a REALLY low price so they'll move? But they don't. Here you'll learn why that happens. Excellent points are made, many of which I never thought of,and great forms to use. But this is a case of GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out). Not the book but the buyer. For this to be worth the price the buyer has to be a person who can keep up with the DETAILS of a business. In other words, the crap work. If you're a "Hey, dude, I just want to get out and make sawdust" Neither this book, or selling for that matter, will work for you. Sorry. If you're NOT like that then grab this book. A clear winner. Anyway, that's my story and I'm stickin' with it. (-: If you're serious about being proficient in ALL aspects of making and selling a product then this is for you.
