Default Re: New Introduction

i should have mentioned, till you know totally what you're doing, every job, big or small, keep track with a stopwatch. layout, pattern transfer,engraving time, time with customer, tool sharpening etc, etc. this time will truly sneak up on you and shock you. you can't realistically set prices till you know your time, your overhead, and any other variables that enter into a job that you do. you must keep some kind of a journal. it's the only basis for establishing price.:thumbsup:
