It’s because of the process and how much time the brothers spend on making the product. If it was on a factory line, I’d agree with you; $400 for a machine made object is nuts; but it’s man made so that’s why the price is so high. Plus supply and demand also play a huge role in how much the product is sold.

I agree, but the first company isn't making large quantities of common items, whereas the second one makes screwdrivers and other valuable and common goods so I think they should be quite cheap. you also have to factor in that they have to collect the boards themselves in small amounts.

@promontorium Год назад

@Chad Neu "the people complaining about the price aren't going to buy it" Duh. That's their point. However your point is nonsense. There is a lot of potential profit loss for them. The likely problem is their production can't charge less as is. But it's not like they're hand crafting the bowls from carefully selected hardwood. It's machined machined machined.

$400 isn't a lot when you factor in the time, know how, resources, etc. This isn't an assembly line product. Each bowl is a unique piece of functional art that's of high quality. They make a limited number(likely cuz it creates a lot of byproduct) so the price reflects that.

Woodworking takes time, skill, materials and tools all of which need to be compensated for. For a hand turned bowl, $400 is not an insane price, especially considering the unique look and story behind it. You might not be willing to pay for it, but there are people who will. Beyond that they are taking a "waste" product and removing it from the waste stream.

These bowls are better because regular bowls, a product of consumerism, ignore the environmental cost of their production.

Made a 26" scooter from Scratch for my Nephew for Christmas. I was on 'low-cash' that year. Shaped one of my old decks for the foot base. I balanced the fork to be able to roll it no handed, lean it in the direction you wanted to go. I guess someone else wanted it. Disappeared 2011 😑

@BarbarishFTW 2 года назад

Okay a thought, what happens with all that material that you shave off to create said bowl? I mean the bowl actual material that's left after you have lathed it is very minimal to the material you are using to create it. According to this video it takes 20 tail/nose sections to create just 1 bowl. That will create ALOT of waste material. The shavings from the lathe, which are maple and the resin glue mixed together, are you recycling that material in any way? Because otherwise you're basically just changing the form of that "trash" that you are "upcycling", from broken skateboards to shavings, which in turn will either be burned or left in landfill. I.e this sounds like greenwashing to me. Sure I like the look and concept alot, I mean the idea is great and it's a nice piece of art. But If you're not taking care of all that waste this produces you should not market is as even close to sustainable.

@grqfes 2 года назад

Listen. These boards get thrown out. These guys pick them up and make furniture and bowls. The stuff they make is cool and doesn't use real lumber. Those decks have already been used for years but what they do doubles their lifespan. Sure materials wise oh the resin and whatever will be bad yada yada. That's not the point or what they advertised

@BarbarishFTW 2 года назад

@@grqfes I agree with that it's a really nice concept, and I love when people create things out of trash basically. It's great. My point is that they do advertise it as being a way to hinder these boards from ending up in landfill. But if they actually are ending up in landfill anyway, just in a different shape (shavings).. They should not market it as any sort of solution to the landfill problem, but rather as a really cool way to re-use old skateboards into art and furniture. Which as I said, is a really great idea. I work in the fashion industry with design and product dev. and I see so many companies literally dying t-shirts green with some planet earth print and they will call it sustainable without any improvement in the production process - this is why I chose to call this out even though I like it, see it everywhere and it's not great.

Wow you're incredibly smug for being so stupid. They're reusing the broken boards to begin with, so essentially your complaint is they throw away maybe 10% of material that was previously 100% wasted! So you're actually talking shit about only 90% of waste being saved and reused?

@promontorium Год назад

@@BarbarishFTW "If they're ending up in a landfill anyway" MORON, a SMALL PERCENT. The way you're complaining and dishonestly wording it is as if all of it or even more ends up wasted. If they saved 10% it would be a benefit, but you're bitching about shavings.
