A regular question posed by many woodworkers is how much would you charge for this or that. I believe that the reason many ask this question is for confirmation of what they charged or intended to charge. Several associations offer annual pricing surveys. Many books, forums, and newsgroups have attempted to answer this question. I believe that most have failed in their attempts.

This forum is our attempt to provide legitimate suggestions on how to approach a bid no matter how large or small the project may be. With a plan in place, most bids can be started and completed in a matter of a few minutes. Please limit your posts here to the subject of how to generate a bid. Thank you.
