I had a meeting with Chris McMillan, the owner of Dwellings a fantastic home furniture store here in Asheville, North Carolina.
He said he may be interested in some of the Fab-Slab pieces.
He actually has specified certain sizes… a console (tv/entertainment stand) , 2 coffee table sizes, and a pair of end tables.
Chris has very good taste, quite the eye for design and… he knows what sells.
As I am new to all this I will go with Chris’s judgement here.
The point at this juncture is not to make a statement of artistic will, rather to get fuel in the tank, get the Fab-Slab machine running.
The biggest question of course is, can I make money at this?
Chris let me know what to expect from each piece dollar wise…
So the next step is to consider the materials costs for a suite of items, consider the labor time spent making the items, and the possible monies available after all is said and done.
Will the numbers work out? I think I can make them…
I will at least make the first run, time the process, and add up the numbers to see.
I also figure certain process repetitions will be more efficient with more experience/familiarity.
We shall see.
I will let you know soon.
