Well Done Ken. Enjoy it.
As I am sure you are aware you will not make money on the time you spent on your order you are making.
I have been asked many times to make things but I had to tell people probably best to buy off the peg. As my labour charges would be too high as I would need to charge at that level to make a living. I have told them that its not that I cannot do it or that I wont do it just that I cannot justify charging that much.
I have had customers who where willing to pay. Made things like book case, shelves and Brackets, video cupboards, fitted wardrobes, windows ,gates, sheds, staircase,Japanese stile bridges over ponds, I could go on for a while. Admitted most of it more building trade stuff more than furniture and Mostly power tools.
