if you watched enough MASH episodes, you likely saw the one with the local woodcarver who was hired to make a wood bust of Col. Potter. before he was hired to do that, he was asked for a sample of his work, so he pulled out a 2x4. the guys said, 'um yeah, that's nice', the local replied "it used to be round"
you try making a straight 2x4 from a round branch, not as easy as it sounds. |

the wood pieces are so small and thin that any nail or screw would just split it or pull out. so i grabbed some re-bar tie wire. bends easy and doesn't break too easily. glue would hold initially, but under weathering, it would let go over time.

i actually made two: one for Wendy, and one for Mrs. DAB. Wendy's is shown, stained. Mrs. DAB's is painted black (not shown). give me a day or so, i have more scrap lumber laying around (i use some scrap 2x6 material). the pieces are about 1/3 the scale of 2x4s, so the top pieces and the seat pieces are 1/2 x 1-1/8, so they look like 2x4s shrunk down. |

start up a business in NM: $500
raw materials and shipping: $25 sell for $70? potential profit: $45 each. but.... Fed FICA - 15.3% ($6.89) Fed income tax - say 20% ($9) state income tax - 5% ($2.25) state gross receipts tax - 8.5% on total ($5.95) total: 6.89 + 9.00 + 2.25 + 5.95 = $24.09 net profit = 45 - 24.09 = $20.91, and there is about 2-3 hours of time into each one, so about $7/hr...... pass. |
