Firebowl thickness

I wasn't suggesting a direct copy, that's part of the problem with the internet now, it can get you a wider audience but there will alway be someone ready to come in and undercut if they can.
I was just highlighting that while there may be price ceiling for a standard item if you can offer a quality product with bespoke options the customers are out there.
I think these days you need lots of fingers in different fires.
I keep thinking about a fire pit with a domed silhouette cut cover around the top that rotates from the effect of the heat around a central tube.

Fire pit material around 3mm with 5mm for the silhouette cut cover.

Most of my work is bespoke. The problem then is that you either need massive stock, which costs a fortune, or you build to order, when other people have it off the shelf. Going bespoke also means that its much harder to speed up production, without making dozens and dozens of jigs...which take time and money, naturally. I wish I knew the answer!
