Calculate your overhead...Rent/Heat/Electric/ Cutting tools etc and then guess what You want to make per hour ($15 an hour/ $20, etc) Than add them up and multiply them by the time you estimate for the job... Then you have a quote you can submit to the customer and don't forget to include delivery lead time.

Thanks

Get what the market will pay. Based on your equipment and the skill needed to run them, you should get at least $30.00 per hour.
