Thanks you guys
a lot goes into these for sure. I added up materials and was surprised it's about $80.00  each
so if each one takes about 4 hours of shoptime,and that doesn't include gathering the materials, let's see, at say $55 per hour shoptime, I'd need to get $300 each so as typical with fishing stuff, the payrate would have to be much less  more like $30 an hour. Maybe I can find a way to streamline things and keep the costs down so I don't have to live on Ramen noodles like I used to when I lived in Arizona starting out in a cabinet shop 
I have to say it looks way better in person, than the picture, and Melissa allowed me to put it in the living room  |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Bruce,
2 suggestions/ideas.
1. Paint grade wood - for the mega collector crowd and for shows.
Antique show people can use them. Don't limit yourself to the lure crowd.
2. Sell kits without the glass. paint grade and show grade.

thanks Striperknight, when you say paintgrade, do you mean unpainted so the customer can paint it himself? If so, ya that makes sense to keep cost down a little, the materials will be less and save an hour labor or so too. Thanks
I was thinking serious collectors might be interested also. and professional builders may want them for displays at shows as well as antique lure collectors. so I guess I should offer them in different sizes, or just custom make them to order.
without glass is a great idea, just include the mirror clips or something and anybody can get a piece of glass to fit at any glass place easy enough. the glass only cost me $26 for 2 pieces.
