The Coffee Shop / Pricing

« on: August 29, 2010, 10:23:51 pm »

I am making Steve's alphabet train what do members think a fair price for the letters and numbers would be, I envisage mothers will buy them for their kids with their name so there may not be a lot of letters unless it is a long name, I thought about $10 to $15 for the train and carriage plus the letters, What do you all think ?

Had a fantastic day at the Manawatu club last sat. it was awork shop orgonised by the the club, it is 145km from wellington and I took a mate who is also interested in the saw, we had 2 projects to complete, 1 a tile and the other a christmas deco. the theme was on stack cutting and methods of binding the blanks for cutting
I also met 3 other members of this forum, Blackie from Hawkes Bay, Merlin from Foxton and Ryse from Auckland, we all had a great time and it was sad to say farewell at the end of the day, BUT there is next year if invited
Thanks Steve Good for getting us together

Thought I had been kicked off the show as I had to sign in to night, my PC has been a bit wonky since I got back so that is possibly the reason

The Coffee Shop / Tax's

« on: July 29, 2010, 03:28:03 am »

what are the tax state side for your most used commodities?
In NZ the tax is over the top for a few examples
Gas $1-81 a liter 75% tax
Cigarettes $20 pkt 77% tax
Beer $6 for 440 mls glass [bar price] 75% tax
Income tax 19.5% to 38% plus 12.5% gst on everything [going up in oct to 15.5%] you buy and services that you need
The government also want to charge a fart tax on stock on their farms, do you believe that?
Think about it, is it fair to all concerned?
