Members ScoobyNewbie Posted January 22, 2019 Members Report Posted January 22, 2019 That’s how my family do it for their wood working. They make what they want to over the fall, winter and spring and then take it to a convention they have an in at and usually sell out. I should just pull up my big girl panties and do what they do.

Members Smartee Posted January 22, 2019 Members Report Posted January 22, 2019 Had the same problem when doing wedding cakes between flavors and decoration - fondant vs. buttercream, etc. Started showing them a couple options and if they wanted something different they paid the difference. Quote
Members chriscraft Posted January 22, 2019 Members Report Posted January 22, 2019 Don’t charge friends/family cash... charge them work hours.. if it takes you three hours to built something for them, then they owe you 3 hours labor. Have them come over and mow your lawn while you work on their stuff. They can also wash your car, clean the house, rake the yard... and so on. It’s only fair.... right If they look at you weird when you tell them this and they decide you’re being an ass, then shame on them. Time is time. Quote

One of my coworkers just dropped a deposit into my account a few minutes ago for a belt - I think I'm going to refund her. My yard needs mowing...

Except that the friend I am doing this for, is half way across the USA from me. So it doesn't really work like that. and anything I would need help with on labor, they are either incapable, or things would just go faster without them, :P. But, it is a new experience honestly, and something i am learning from, and that is the point. Quote
