This kind of scenario is very typical . I hate to say this happens because many woodworkers love woodworking so much that they will sell what they make for cost or less than cost,this makes it tough on people who are trying to make a living in the woodworking business because much of the public expects woodworking to below cost no matter how involved the item is. This along with products made in foreign countries that sell for less in places like Walmart for less than we can buy the material it would cost us to make the same product.
