UPDATE:-

Chapmans ring making machine is for sale $70K.

Chapmans are continuing to make rings for the private breeder till the machine is sold.

Due to the selling of the machine they wont be making club rings at this time.

Of course any new owner may decide to reinstate that.

Is there enough money to be made making rings to justify a 70k outlay?

The average show budgie breeder will use between 50 and 200 rings a year. There are 14 places per budgie type in the National Budgie show. I suspect that makes the answer yes. If you are factoring in a period of 3 or 4 years to break even then go on for at least another 3 or 4 years before considering retiring.

Im impressed that it takes a 70 k machine the size of a caravan to make something the size of a pea.
