I have had a work/friend call me up and want me to plane a few thousand linear feet of pine from 1" down to 3/4". I didn't know what a fair price to charge to do this type of job. $.20 a lf sound alright?
Chad, I believe if it was me I'd be tempted to refer him to Scott, or one of the other members who is set up to do this volume of work. Unless you've got an industrial strength planer, you're looking at a lot of time and effort, plus wear and tear on your equipment.
Just a thought.
