I sell mine for $5 as you can cut at least 4 at a time, 1/2 an hour to cut that's $40 an hour ha ha.
The ply wood ones I cut sell for $4 as the ply is free and I can stack cut 6 at a time

As I said you are a professional or a hobbyist, I do woodcraft to keep me busy and my mind occupied in my old age and I too have to sell what I make or I would have a house full as well, but you can still make a profit not enough to make a living but it keeps you in tools and the like

If you cut you self with a saw or what ever and it is faulty who is to blame the manufacturer, if you cut your self and the saw or what ever is not faulty you are a bl??dy idiot and should not be using such things, that is all I can say

I disagree with some of those remarks, if you are a professional wood crafter and you and are making a living from it you should be looking at selling to retail outlets and not worrying about what you can sell at W/E fairs and markets.
I am a hobbyist and sell my work at what I consider wholesale price, my club members and some others say I am to cheap. but I sell what I make, and make a profit

Don there is no solution to back to front bending as FD Mike has said, I get it most of the time from #5 blades to the finer blades, I bend them back when I cant get the blade through the hole, I use a pair of pliers, never had a blade break by doing that

You can all so use the back side of sand paper so if your paper is 200 grit the reverse side would be 400 and so on, a lot of wood turners use this trick when sanding after 400, from 400 you go to 800 and keep on doubling till you get the desired finish
