    Default Pigion Boxs

    I have been asked to make pigion boxs for a display area
    eg: toys,collectables
    I have an idea how to make it but what to charge ?
    My question is how many hours would it take ?
    the sizes are 150mm x 150mm x 150mm there needs to be 50 boxs and 75mm x 75mm x 75mm and 50 of them to and be able to hang on a wall with no backing plate.
    (i think it would sag without a backing plate)
    Timber can be pine or similar with a clear finish wax or estapol.
    Any ideas?

    All depends on the design, 50x 150sq boxes would be a substantial size and weight, got a rough sketch?
    What materials, what finish, what shape!

    Thats the trouble when you live in a rural area,

    mudguts,
    He wouldn't be in a business where he produces something which could also involve quoting on materials and labour - does he??
    Wouldn't it be lovely if "someone" could get him to do this and then tell him "Nuh! Too Bl@@$y expensive - you [and your time] are not worth it."
    Just remember "Every dog has its day" - all you can ask is that hopefully you will be around to see it

    Surely he's talking about $50 per hour:confused: If not, he is either a complete dreamer or he is out of touch with reality.

    AHHH,
    see..... Every dog does have its day!
    Enjoy it.
    I'm not really a vindictive type of person but hopefully the financial reality check that this person now has to pay for will make it better for all in the future.
