so your agreeing a stand would be hundreds of dollars - I think its still more than most people want to spend.

$75/hr is a typical rate for some of the shops we are similar too - need to be to be competitive.

for most stands I would estimate 4hrs work @ 75/hr = 300 plus materials , say $500 for a bare steel stand, if I have to do drawings add another $50.

if you want it painted / powder-coated probably close to $1000.00
