ORIGINAL: constructordeguitarras The quote button is there for me. Business has been very slow so far this year. So I am building a set of 4 chairs that I have wanted to build for a long time, like this one that I built over 30 years ago, when I was a furniture maker, after George Nakashima's Conoid Chair Design, which I have only seen pictures of. That is my 2nd ex-wife modeling the chair for advertising. The process of making four of these chairs reminds me of the story about a furniture maker who built a chair for someone and charged them $200. Then the customer ordered four more and the maker said the cost would be $1000. The customer said, "but you only charged $200 for one chair and now you are charging $250 for each one when I order four. Explain this." So the furniture maker said, "One was fun, but making four is a lot of work." Yes. For a copy of Nakashima chair it’s realistically about $2500 per chair and that’s a fraction of an authentic Nakashima. You are a Curmudgeon’s Curmudgeon, sir.
