I have from time to time come across someone wanting a cutting of a portrait. Most times it is just family or friends and I just most times charge for the materials or whatever. Now these portraits are being seen from friends of the family members or friends of friends etc etc.
Not being too good or fast at making the patterns raises a question for me. How do I go about charging for this type of work? I love cutting the portraits but not so much doing the patterns.
So what do you all charge or better yet how do you figure your price?
No matter what price I give will be a loss for me as it takes me a very long time to make patterns. I know that I can use other people to create the patterns from here and other scroll saw sites. But the point is I need the practice anyway. But that doesn't mean I will do these cutting for free, lol
Thanks for any advice/help,
Kevin
