Good for you. Glad to hear it.i've been getting $10.00 for mine...I could probably get more the way people have been ordering them. I just got another order for 8...But the $10 has been good so far.
:thunder:I told you. When you say Corian to a woman, an immediate glaze goes over her eyes. No way will they be associated with a kitchen in any way.I charged $12 for wood and $15 for Corian. Took 6 wood and 2 corian to the show came back with 2 corian.

My problem with the seam ripper is ME! I like to put them in a snazzy body and cut threads to make a matching cap. By the time I do all that and cut the threads so the grain matchs when the ripper is closed, I have more time than if I just made a pen.
I really need to simplify these. I think you guys are dead on target a $10-20 for these.

What type of tools are you using for cutting the threads. ?
Please show pictures of the tools plus the seam rippers showing the threaded parts.
OK, I got to ask. I have seen these talked about on a couple forums and now people are doing them here. What is a seam ripper and what is it used for??? Why would these be so popular?? Is there a certain clientel you are targeting with these??? May have to add these to the arsenel. They look quite easy to make. Thanks

A seam ripper is made for ripping seams back out. Y'know when you sew a seam in wrong? Oh.. well maybe you've never sewn anything and wouldn't get caught dead running a needle and thread, much less a sewing machine?
I'm going back to making my quilt now...
Quilters are the best customers for these.
I would never take my stuff to a show where I know it would not sell. In this part of the world a tank of gas will take you to a better market place.

Thats probably true Gary, but William has a really good market right now, not just for seam rippers. And taking more with him can't hurt if he's happy with the addition amount, no matter how small..
Personally, I've been pricing them at $15. They sell ok for me at that price. I think I could sell more at $5-$10, but I'm not really into selling that many more yet - this is still a hobby for me.

William:
Apparently, I didn't do any better job of explaining my process than I do making the rippers.
No special tools needed. Just remove the ripper from the plastic housing. Put it in a wooden handle with a tenon, then thread the tenon and the cap.
I am really busy right now getting ready for a Christmas pen show, but I'll try to get some photos next week.
Respectfully submitted.

Just realized a made a typo. I started with 6 wood and 5 Corian, sold everything but 2 of the Corian.
