The Framers Forum

Hi Forum Members,
Just looking for a price check on a needle point, board cut, pinning and lacing time approx 1.1/2 hrs
I was thinking £57 approx each.

Pinned and laced around 1400micron Conservation board.
Board size 445 x 445 mm
Image size 345 x 345mm

Just done three different cats neat work and pretty square to start with but slightly different sizes, opted to leave 50mm around.

Many thanks in advance
Mitreman

So at what you state I see a labor rate of about £35/ hour. How does that compare with an independent auto repair shops labor rate? My gut feeling is that it might be a bit low.

Garage mechanic hourly rate:
Low Range,£40
High, £80
Average cost, £60

Jerome,
Thank you for your reply, my thoughts exactly, Customers don't realize how long this process takes and costs, but are willing to pay a fortune for a needlepoint kit.
The actual framing process can be done in half the time of the lacing.
Useful check a trader link thank you.

Any more price checks from around the county would be interesting.

Many Thanks
Mitreman
