Recommended Posts

someone would like me to make a sling for her father for his shot gun, i've not made any before, curious on what the pricing should be around. i've attached a picture she sent of what she would kind of like.

Hello Cuda,

For me pricing can be pretty tricky, given the lack of input on your post I'm guessing a lot of others feel the same. For a "plain jane" rifle sling I usually charge around $30 or $40 if I'm providing the sling swivels. For one that is heavily tooled like the one in your picture I'd tack on another $50 to $75 depending on how detailed and full they wanted the tooling to be. Someone else may have a completely different price point depending on what material they had on hand, how busy they were and how much they like "giving away" their tooling time. 

Pricing is a balancing point for me where I get some return on my time, cover my materials and feel happy about providing a quality item for a reasonable cost to my customer. That said I don't do leatherwork for a living, it's just a hobby that I enjoy. I imagine others pricing varies greatly depending on their circumstances. 

Good luck on your project!

Josh

I charge $90 for mine, includes tooling of a smaller image (usually deer), a name stamped in if they want it, border stamp and fully stitched. I use brass conway buckles and do not provide the sling swivels. Currently my best selling item.

Good luck!
