<div>Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking that somewhere between $50 - $75
per hour for shop time would be in the ball park, so I agree with Roger on that
figure. Based on Rick's calculations it looks like $90.00 for both and Roger is
saying $75-100 each. Unless I'm missing something, I think Roger is saying that
I should charge twice what Rick is saying?</div>

<div>Gary, I tend to agree with what Rick has
said here. I'd have no issue at all charging anywhere from 75-100
each. A good way to look at it is the value for shop time. Looking
at the profiles, that appears to be about an hour job for each or so.
Using a $75/per hour shop rate, puts you firmly in that camp. Just dont
devalue your time and effort. Tell him a price and stick with it.

<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Pricing for woodturning. To make it round I charge diameter times
length (in your case thickness) rounding each dimension up to the higher whole
inch. For you that would be 14 x 2 and 16 x 2. I then charge $2
for each feature. The profile shown has 5 features (right half of bead,
left half of bead, bead landing, left cove, right cove). The features I
usually charge for are on a diameter 3" or less. I might charge more
than $2 for each feature on such a large diameter.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>All that said $70 is the price I would be inclined to charge. I
might increase that price to $90 by charging $4 per feature because of the
diameter.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I will often give as much as a 50% discount to close friends.
Family gets it for cost. Folks who think they are friends can get
a 20% discount.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Good luck</div>

<div>A guy I met on Craigslist.... Wait that doesn't sound right.
A guy who had a lathe for sale on Craigslist, that I wound up
buying, wanted a two part column base turned. He supplied the two
octagon shaped 1 3/4" Cyprus bases and the profiles for what he wanted.
The small one finished out at 13 /4" at the largest diameter and
the large one finished out at 15 1/2" at the
largest diameter....</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm not but so proficient at turning, so it took me longer than I
thought it should. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Attached are a couple of pictures. </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>So help me out here, how much should I charge???</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Did I mention that he has also become a friend over the
last year?</div>

<div>Thanks</div>
