Thread: Another Toy Garage

Looks good Peter. I personally know the work that goes into one of these from building one. I would say with all the painting and decorating I would charge $75 to $100.

Bret

Given the amount of detail, the labour involved and the fact that it would only ever be a show piece and the subject is probably in a small interest market which means a collector of some kind, I would start at $1000-00, but Im no expert or have any knowledge of this type of thing so t6o put it in the vernacular... buggered if I know......

Beautiful piece of work.

The amount of work and detail you have put into it puts my projects to shame.

It is worth a lot more than what someone is prepared to pay but that seems to but the lot of a woodworker. I would think that time wise and materials it should fetch several thousands...BTW, being a bit pedantic here but shouldn't the chimney flue on the roof be on the other side above the internal flue.

Keep up the great work, I wish I had your patience & skill.

Thanks fellows the chimney you can see is for the kerro or parafiiene lamp, the stove flu is om the other side,here it is,I am loking at plans sent my way ,just don't know where which way I will go yet,have a Carriege ,and a Gold stamp to finish first,

I'd appreciate some feedback on a suggested sell price, thank you,
[I though about $50 would be fair???]

G'Day Eddie;
WOW AND WOW..........That wagon looks the real deal in the garden photo.
You have surely put a whole heap of time & effort into the detail.
Sir, you are a master craftsman indeed.
Personally it's PRICELESS, but it'd have to owe you $5000 in time & effort along with the materials.
How about showing the rest of the mob in a new thread as it way surpasses my "toy garage".
Cheers, crowie

Thank you "one & all" for the encouragement on the garage, they're easy to make and a heap of fun for many years of play.
WOW; a few of you have suggested way higher than I thought; maybe I'll have to rethink the price.
Cheers, crowie

Nice work on the garage Crowie, looks great.

My apologies Peter,as you say it should have been in a different thread,But you still made a cracking garage you will be well rewarded


Eddie

Oh by the way , I think $50 would be a reasonable price for your garage. take a look around the toy shops and you will see you don't get much for that sort of money these days in a quality toy.

Thanks John for the additional advice.....
it's just so hard to work out how much one should ask for a hand made toy.
