Rapid Roger Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I don't do commissions either. One of my nieces wanted a dining table. Told her nope I'm to slow to take commissions. That way I have no commitment or time invested.The same thing happened to me. I made a small entertainment center for our living room. My niece and her husband saw it and wondered how much it would cost for me to make another one for them. I went to the shop and figured the cost of materials (wood, hinges, knobs etc.) and added 50% for glue, finish and my time. I thought they were going to have a heart attack right there in front of me! I thought it was very cheap and reasonable but, they weren't ready for the cost of the wood alone!Needless to say, I didn't get the job.
