Default Re: Stock Escutchion engraving

You are welcome Tom.
Basically, In my head I work at $150 per hour. The clients however, prefer to have a quote. To do that I have to guess a little high. Once I quote, I never exceed the quote without client approval.
Sometimes I make out a little better, sometimes a little worse.
Either way the client has his quote and can plan for it.
Your work must be excellent quality of course. After that you will find what you get paid depends on your marketing. The client will mainly look to you to establish a valuation of your work.
