    Just received a cheque for the sale of this box ($100) through Bungendore Woodwork Gallery, so a cheque will be sent to Legacy, with a link to this forum.

    Lovely timber and lovely box, but $5 per hour is less than McDonald's pays its teenagers.
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    True...but the work's more satisfying

    Making small things is not very rewarding financially. You have to spend lots of time on tiny details, and people will happily pay more for something big that took the same time to make.

    Well, I know what three of those four things feel like.
