    No. Profit is revenue in excess of costs, yes, but the cost of building a table isn’t merely the cost of the materials. Costs also include the time and effort spent building the table, the time and effort spent learning to build tables, the cost of acquiring tools with which to build, the cost of having a space in which to build, and the cost of finding customers to buy the table.

    When you factor these other costs in to the table, the builder breaks even. Yes, even if they end up with more money than with which they started. They simply exchanged their time and effort for money, but they can never get that time back can they?
