Yes, Paul said 10 (Ten) hours not 100 (one hundred) you’re out by an order of magnitude.TheMadMick wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2024 8:10 pm Paul
Forgive me but something doesn't add up. The national living wage is £11.44 per hour. If it takes 100, hours to make them, then the labour cost is at least £1144.00. Given a 2m set costs £600,00 per side, that leave £56.00 for materials and overheads.
Am I missing something?

Re: NVA Blog
I was right - something didn't add up. Teach me to read the instructions!
Sorry Paul. I've always had trouble with powers of 10. No idea why!

Re: NVA Blog
Lately, we've been using the wooden stands for our Cubes without their spikes - just using isopucks between the Cubes and the top of the stand. It first happened because we forgot to bring the spikes to last year's WAM show. On a concrete floor, you might find you prefer the sound without spikes (I think I do) if you already have the isopucks. Worth a try...
