I bet there are lots of cedars growing close to lots of you all so I want to show you all what can be built in a few hours with very little tools to buy for you all can use what you all allready have in you alls shop. I doubt if every one all ready has those cutters that makes large dowel looking ends so with just one more tool to buy just look at some of these prices a person could sell these stools for....

 

Or for the people that can't sit up straight these stools with backs

 But I think they have an advantage over folks who can't think ahead very far for this place is called Over Stocked and that right there makes folks think they are having to sell these things at a big discount right there...which all my neighbors are in that category so I'll bet they already have a bunch of stools stored somewhere cause they can't turn down bargains...

  And I was just now thinking every one of us here on this Patriot site could have 30 or 40 of both types of these stools built each and every day at these prices... World cruises and flights to outer space would be on every ones minds...I could even buy one of those electric counters just to keep track of all that money.  Then we would have to consult some of the big big wigs to find out which off shore accounts they are using. Matter of fact the name Artie has been passed around here in a secret way who puts nothing but 100 dollar bills in the cans folks hold up while singing and sitting along the sidewalks in his neighbor. And those that play instruments in addition to singing is given a bottle of brew and its Artie's way to trying to pay back which is really sad for Artie is one of those souls that sits there holding his can.

  I really thought these stools would be a money maker until I just now see where they are giving free shipping. Now that's a problem right there. And when I figure out what kind of a problem that is I will let you all know.

I guess the Internet has opened up a whole new market of clientele. If I asked those price, locally, they would put me in the local mental ward for being crazy. Maybe it goes by the realtor adage- Location, Location, Location. 

making it and selling it are two different problems.

This reminds me of something a long time ago.  When I was a young kid, probably in early primary school, someone came thru the neighborhood selling cedar Adirondack-style chairs and settees.  At my young age, I figured they were Gypsies.   They lasted a couple of years for the few people that bought them.

Reminds me of the old story:

"Why are you selling them for that much?  Nobody would want to pay that much and you won't sell many, if any."

"True, but I only have to sell one."

We have the same Gypsy family selling patio furniture made of pallets from their pickup trucks, for over 20 years. They peddle through out the city and into the county. Never purchased anything, but coworkers have told me the quality is pretty good.

 

Might some of the ugliest chairs on the planet.  Maybe that's why they are $200.  Probably came out of Jed Clampett's shack.

Rustic chic.  Fits right in with wall of pallet boards, coffee tables from factory dollies, and dining tables from barn boards.
