It should be a straight froward equation Materials + Mark-up + Labour = Price. But I am finding that it's not quite as simple an equation. How much do you want the job? Verses, How much the Client wants the item?
Do you cut corners to cut the cost or do you charge less for your time in order to get the reputation of doing good work?
I don't like being snowed under with work nor do i like having nothing on my plate.
It comes down to me that I work out the correct price as per the first equation then employ my gut feeling and add a little compassion for the occasion and I find that seems to work out just fine.
What you loose on the bandsaw you pick-up on the Jointer as it were.
Cheers
Steve
