I wasn’t an artist and wanted to sell practical woodwork. I thought that in order to sell a practical product, the ability to produce a large number of products at the same level was necessary.

Of course, unless the selling price is higher than the cost of production, I can’t profit

But if the selling price is higher than the market price, probably no one will buy it. I felt that the creators had to work hard to keep the manufacturing cost close to zero.
