[QUOTE="bdlesh, post: 3014563, member: 109440"] What most people that have never ran a business don't understand is the entire cost of producing the product. I have had people yell me" how can you charge that much? I only make x". I respond, how much does it cost you to work there? Do you share in the cost of rent? How about keeping the lights on? Or the computer you work on? They daily to grasp that their employer is not only paying them with the cost of whatever they produce, they are paying for everything that goes into the product. So factor in the cost of tools, machinery, rent on building, utility's, insurance and you will soon see that $50 per hour is cheap. That's not even mentioning the experience to do the job. Also with this type of work, one mistake turns a beautiful piece of wood into kindling. That is another cost that has to be calculated. If something does go wrong, who pays for that? You hand him a $1000+ piece of wood and want him to turn it into a $2500 piece for <$500. I am sure you could find someone that will do it for less, those people are always out there, but will you be happy with the results? The old saying....you get what you pay for hold true. [/QUOTE]
