I have a friend who has me make plaque's for him, to present to members of the Optimus Club. This year he wanted them larger in size, but, I still charged him the same price. Not a real difficult job, but, time consuming.  Take a look.

i made 30 items all the same .just what they wanted and lo and behold i spent 40 hours and a lot of ink and they complained .i got nothing.had i made them as good as your i would have had no problem.nice nice job sir!

a repetitious task but you handled it as a one only thing.  Sometimes we might want to rush through an order like this because there are so many and we often to it for less than we would charge had it been only one piece. but you treated each piece as an individual and made each of them with pride and caring.  They are a tribute to you. It is no wonder they ask for repeats every year.

Kevin, you should always charge 50% upfront, then at least you will not be out what you paid for the material. I never take a custom order, without getting 50% upfront.

Hey, Matt, there isn't any way to liven up boredom. It just has to be taken as you go or maybe not work at it for any length of time. Sorry.

Dave, I just stained the piece with an artists brush & where the two stains come together & scored a line with a razor knife so the stain would not bleed over into the other. It worked.  Thanks all.
