This is the most complex one I’ve done so far, and I almost ran out of material (single straightened coathanger), so ~8 letters max. Coathanger is surprisingly difficult to bend into such intricate shapes. It took me around 2½ hours to do with two different types of pliers plus hand bending.
I literally freehanded this though, no predrawn pattern or anything, just following as close as I can to my own freehand cursive writing. I’m thinking about making a bit of a side job out of it, like $5 a letter…
What you folks think?
Edit: I made a point to weight balance it at the tip of the T for hanging on the wall or wherever.
Edit 2: Criticize me as necessary, my cursive is still slightly rusty…
$16/hr for this project.
This fella crunching the hourly figure, and you’re right 👍
The one I posted was more of a practice piece to get back into the hang of it, this one for free, because she did us a good solid favor, plus I’m pretty sure she’ll at least try to share my work and try to get me some more business…
I think the point is that this is pretty cheap. Might want to go a bit higher.
Kinda, I’m really just pointing out numbers. OP has to decide what they want out of their hobby; Is it just for fun and recouping some cost makes it worthwhile (hobbies can be expensive) or is it to earn a profit?
I just like data.
Data? I used to pull 7 letter names out of paperclips like this (still can actually).
That was a hobby, coathanger is hands on practice for something bigger, which I’m already getting local requests for…
Git good 7 of 9.
heheheheheh
