& wheels & bolts & nails & paint & drawing and my time?
Best price I can come up with is $12-1500 for the chair I sit on every day, drink my morning tea, read my magazines and watch the birds fly by. The materials cost are higher than I thought but the biggest cost is labour. Isn't it always.
Creating a new Chunky Chair from scratch will take time. I work full time and do not look forward to building another one. When I built the first chair I moved my dining room table into the garage and built much of the chunky chair on top of it. It was a brilliant idea, 'made lining up and securing everything easier.
That really is not an option today. I am hosting my friends wine club meeting one day in April and want to hold a birthday party for me in May. Both need a dining room table.
Hopefully when I quote the price to my friend who wants a Chunky Chair he will crap at the cost and decline. It's funny, I thought I wanted to build these chairs full time and sell them to athletes, big and tall and just big people, now I am not so sure.
