Ep.20 Reflection of 1- 20
« on: October 05, 2012, 11:34:29 pm »
Thank you to all who have watched my videos. This is just a little video reviewing each project so far on the Country Scroller. What is a good way of gauging how much a project is worth? Thanks for watching! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=807fLULNoQ8&feature=plcp

Nice recap on your series to date. 

As far as the value of a project, there are many ways to try and figure that number, but most try to include hours (labor) (and to set a value on what your time is worth is a whole new ball of wax), materials (wood), shop materials (blades, sprays, etc), overhead (if you have it, rent, electricity, etc.), and what do you want for a profit margin if you are looking to run a business.  That is just a rough start to the process.

Not an easy question to develop an answer.  Keep pressin' on, for a lot of us the joy is making something and giving it away, at least for this old man.

Thank you Al that helps. I usually give away alot too, but I'm really trying to save some because I am going to be driving soon and need a truck. Thank you for watching and your input.

Thank you Todd that helps. Again I'm just trying to get a range of where to price something, not to specific of a price.
