Hi Guys:
I have been having a ball building things. I have been building my wife and immediate family little things like jewelry boxes, planters, tea carts, and the like. My father in law asked me to make him a back scratcher. Nothing fancy or complicated. I went one step further and made him a matching set of a back scratcher and shoe horn.
When I finished, my wife said they were beautiful, looked fantastic and thought I should make some to "sell on ebay". This got me thinking….hmmmmm….. _it cost me:
$85.00 for a back scratcher/shoe horn made to order with your choice of wood with a finish of your choice!
HOLY CRAP!
As it says in the title..Do or would people really pay $85 for this? You guys have been doing this for awhile and I have been just putzin around. Now wouldn't someone just go down to a fancy store and buy one for most likely a fraction of the cost?
I know, I know…mine is hand made…to order…special…yada yada, but really. If you tell me YES, I'll be in the shop turning my butt off!!!
Thank you. You guys ROCK!

- about $18.00 for the kits (including shipping)
- $2-$3 for wood blanks
- $5.00 for glues and finishing
- Labor ( $15/hr x about 4 hours ) Since I didn't keep track the first time, it's a guess.
