How do you even get it to move a foot when it weighs so much and how did you get that one into your house?

Actually it's not in my house, it's outside in our courtyard, and we used a dolly.

I think you should get at least one hundred Dollars per pound. You could make a few pieces for your "new spring collection" and I think you could find a way to advertize online . I think for sure you should be able to sell a few and they look really nice too!

Don't tell me you can move that 700 lb one w/a dolly too :eek:
That's how we did it.
It's a little overload for my lightweight dolly, a bigger doll would help a lot, but we managed to move it with just two of us (3 is easier) and that little dolly. I wouldn't want to take it up any stairs with that dolly though. :depressed:

If I do sell any, it won't likely be to next spring when people are out shopping for that sort of thing, in the meantime I'll keep making a few more and perfecting the technique. So far each one I've made has been a little better then the last.
Sell any or not, my wife now has the big planters she wanted. :)
