What should I charge?

11-01-2011, 02:14 PM

I made this frame for my GF mother-in-law her ex's mother. Greg was her son and he recently passed. She saw the one I made for my daughters grandma and loved it and asked if I'd make her one. I have no idea what to charge her for it. It's made from 1/2" aspen with 1/4" MDF backer. I cut a place for his picture with 1/16" (I think) plexiglas. Took me like 3 days, maybe a total of 12 to 15 hours. Any opinions on cost will be greatly appreciated! Don

Anyone notice anything odd with the plaque?

I see you changed font for June and July. You are going to have to charge what you think you deserve and how much they can afford . It is sort of family.

Back in my days of collecting antique pottery, I used to carry a a small blacklight unit to check for repairs that were invisible to the naked eye. I never knew that it could detect glue spots. That's a lot neater than using mineral spirits, or waiting until a sealer coat of shellac reveals missed...

Being a diet controlled type 2 diabetic, I check my glucose. Checked before my shot on Tuesday it was fine. Checked on Wednesday after a morning walk expecting to see less than 100 and about fainted when it read 158. Every check has been 150 or more since then. Started reading and yes, the shots can...

Not yet Jim. The corners of the baskets to appear to be drawn by hand or just a bad copy. The price might go up. Thanks Linda. For some reason I really like doing layered baskets. And my customers like buying them. Bruce read a blacklight shows glue spots. Guess what he bought me from harbor freight...

I've bought lovely aspen and Balm of Gilead rounds from this site to use for live edge bowls. The owner, Rene Guay (pronounced "Rainey") could probably fabricate something...
