Depends on your skill level and the person you're doing it for. For a friend I would just give them a print out of the required materials and have them cover that.

And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle ;)

Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..

not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. :)

I have only done a few for guys I know and had them buy the material and help out. I would have them get me a pack of smokes or a case of mountain dew but I don't do either now.

Look at it this way. You can easily account for materials. It doesn't take much to add up wood, glue, carpet, etc, etc, etc, prices. If you don't build boxes often then do not try to charge by the hour. It's not fair to the customer to pay for you to figure out what you are doing along the way ;) If you think you day is worth 20 bucks, then charge that. If you think your day is worth 100 bucks, then charge that. The part where you can ask for more money is when you know your designs work. when i know I can exceed the customers expectations I charge more for my knowledge, if I haven't tried something before, I offer up a deal and figure it out along the way.

Kingsuv can build some damn boxes though and has some skill. I am a ametuer and like most said, I just make my friends buy the materials for parts. Most of the time I have lots of extra screws and wood glue so that just goes to getting more down the road. But other than that, I'd just tell them get me a 12 pack or something. I have them help out too because there are some parts where you could really use an extra hand, regardless of that persons knowledge or knowhow.

unless it is a really close friend i charge 20 bucks plus cost of material.. the 20 bux goes to replacing the saw blades when they need it, buying new router bits, keeping stocked up on sandpaper, having to get new pencils cause every box eats at least one lol stuff like that

This isn't teeball. YOU DO NOT GET A TROPHY JUST BECAUSE YOU SHOW UP. Put the work in and then maybe get the respect when it has been earned
