I think we have all tackled paying jobs for someone, where at the end of it, you factor it all up and you are working for something crazy like $5/hr. At the end of the day, if you are happy with doing the pieces for $45 each, then thats wonderful. But I can almost guarantee, you'll still have in the back of your mind, "Man, I should have charged more for that job" I myself have no problem charging more. And I dont have that nagging feeling of i should have charged more. <br></div><div aria-label="Compose body"><br></div><div aria-label="Compose body">Roger<br></div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;" data-mce-style="color: #000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Roy Shrove via Woodworkers" <woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org><br><b>To: </b>woodworkers@sawdusters.org, Gcw804@aol.com<br><b>Sent: </b>Sunday, September 27, 2015 8:57:35 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Woodworkers] pricing help<br><div><br></div><div dir="ltr">Just remember the cardinal rule of pricing...you can always go down (and make the buyer think they are getting a deal!) but it is damn hard to raise prices after the fact....<div><br></div><div>R</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Sep 27, 2015 at 10:33 AM, via Woodworkers <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org" target="_blank" data-mce-href="mailto:woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org">woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex" data-mce-style="margin: 0 0 0 .8ex; border-left: 1px #ccc solid; padding-left: 1ex;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;" data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><div style="FONT-SIZE:10pt;FONT-FAMILY:Arial;COLOR:#000000" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000;"><div>Rick & Roger</div><div> </div><div>Thanks for the feedback.

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. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Roger<br></div><div><br></div><div>Gettin set to do my first show with my turnings next weekend.

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><br>On Sep 26, 2015, at 9:17 PM, via Woodworkers <<a title="mailto:woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org" href="mailto:woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org" target="_blank" data-mce-href="mailto:woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org">woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org</a>> wrote:<br><div><br></div></div><blockquote><div><div>I need some help in figuring out how to price a job.</div><div> </div><div>A guy I met on Craigslist....
