AlpineGuy87 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Posted November 17, 2007 depends on how much work you have to put into it, make him pay for all the wood then think up a reasonable price for your labor time.. if he is your friend dont be cheezy, hook da boy up! I do my friend's for free, they pay for the material 06 SCION tC

Derrick824 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Posted November 17, 2007 If I'm doing a box for someone price starts at $100 for a basic 3/4" mdf box. If they want something cheaper I'll do a sealed 5/8" particle board box for $50 but only if they have cheap equipment that I know isn't going to blow the box apart. A general rule I go by is gross materials cost x2. For friends though, I don't charge any labor. They pay for gross materials cost and my time is free.

But if he wants carpet and or paint ill charge more. Ill paint the port black cause that is included. If its your FRIEND, why you gonna charge him 75 pop! Thats more than the materials. considering MDF - 20-25$ board. Glue/nails - 10$ I mean I'm not saying that your boxes are crap and not worth 75.. but i mean if you got all the materials and he is paying 20$ for the wood, you got the glue/nails/etc thats 5-15$ now your looking at almost 35$ unless it takes a second piece of MDF your still looking at 55$ Man I'd say if he your friend, and your supplying everything BUT the wood, i mean hook him up!! 50$ is the most I would charge my friend If i was getting the wood/materials for him. unless the materials cost more than 50$ (dont see that it would) then i wouldn't really charge him at all.. NOTE* If your getting all the materials, keep the reciepts, add up the cost of all the materials then maybe add on 10-20 bucks. He is your friend and came to you as your friend so hook him up!! 06 SCION tC
