Hi All. I have a question about doing commissioned work. I recently finished building a murphy bed and have had a few folks interested in putting one in their house. It would probably be a similar design to the one I made with a few tweaks. A rough estimate for wood/hardware would be around $600ish. Once i get a better idea of what the people want I would be able to give a better estimate. for reference, here is the one I made: https://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/showthread.php?t=64347&highlight=murphy+bed
My question is, how much might be a good amount to charge for profit? (this would be my first commissioned piece and it would be for a co-worker or a family friend, so I'm not expecting to make a killing on it, but not expecting to do all the labor for free either)
Thanks!
