[QUOTE="the rev, post: 273100, member: 2740"] I would also point out that most pipe makers are buying premium briar that costs more like 20-50 dollars a block You add that to the standard business mark up, that any business has and you wind up in a much higher place. I do live in an expensive part of the country but my boss bills me out at 85 and hour as a construction manager, and if I am doing handyman work in my neighborhood I make atleast 50 usually 75 an hour. And I don't have anywhere near the tool outlay that a pipe maker has. Then german ebonite rod stock is another expense. There is a reason people buy pipes and cars and everything else from factories. rev [/QUOTE]
