ubgoofy2003 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 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. stoney, Lucky2, amazingkevin and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 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. Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

ubgoofy2003 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 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.
