If you get paid $20/hr, that's $240 + $100 + $600 = $940...That don't sound too bad...

Junkmanted,
If your a brain surgeon, you didn't do that well.

If, as he said, he spent 100.00 in supplies + 600.00 cash out of his pocket, in ADDITION to the 12 hours of labor, add another $700.00 to that, for a grand total of $1640.00.....

Not at $20/hr...

12 x $20 = $240...+ $100...+ $600...still equals $940...not $1640...

For him to get a total of $1640, he'd have to charge $78.33/hr for his labor...that's a pretty hefty sum...I sure wouldn't pay anyone $78/hr for labor for anything!!!

(Except my divorce lawyer...he was worth every penny!!!)

Did a little price research on "Japanese sword polishing". They charge $100-$110 per inch. So it's by length, not by time. My stuff does not worth much so it can skip polishing.

Average garage charges $80 per hour for car repairing. But I noticed they do not have business for every hour, so average down. How much went to mechnist's pocket? Back a few years ago, I saw people investing in big city buying apartments using borrowed money from banks, refurbishing it, then resell or for rental. Construction contractors had lots of business then (that business was probably better than reworking guns). Not anymore.
