Girls soccer trophy's
« on: May 21, 2012, 03:24:54 am »
I made 3 soccer trophy's for my co-worker who is coach of a girl soccer team.
they have a soccer camp next weekend (Pentecost is a long weekend for us) and he asked me to make some thropy's.
the base is oak and the trophy Baltic birch all finished with clear lacker.
the trophy is 5" in diameter.
in fact this is my first project that I sold. not that I make any money, just the material cost.
well, it's hobby ;)

Very nicely done.  Only problem I see is now they are going to want you to make more :)  Lots more.  I am sure they will be very well received.  Thanks for sharing them with us.

The girls will love it!
Great job.

Thanks Y'all,
Did a hard time on setting my price......
not used to sell, especially not to people I know very good.
normally I give my work away.....
I sold them for +/- $ 6,50 each, my co-worker find it a good price, so did I.
I'm not calculating the amount of dollars per hour  8) (guess that will be discouraging)

well I'm Happy, my co-worker is happy and he promised  me pictures of the winning teams.
will post that later ;)

Very nice work Marcel! If they want more I would charge a lot more than $6.50! Maybe $15 to $20, Or even $25. But that's just me!

Well done Marcel You did a great job, but I honestly believe that you have sold yourself short, they should have been $10 plus.  Just my opinion.
