Made this for a friend who’s wedding is next month. Coordinates are the location he’s getting married. It’s 24”, made from 14 gauge hr. I’ve already been asked what I would sell it for and I said $75 raw steel. Does that seem too expensive?

Re: Compass wedding gift
I charge .18 per square inch on 14 gauge, making my price around 103.00. Nice design!

Re: Compass wedding gift
Thanks for the reply. I just started cutting and have been playing around with the excel pricing sheet. What are you paying for a sheet of 14 gauge hr? I didn’t create this design but I liked it so much that I traced a compass stencil and added the circles. A few people on Etsy are selling this design, or very similar to it.

Re: Compass wedding gift
I'm with Scratch to cheap, when looking at the total time involved, not just the cutting, doing one as a gift for free is your choice but if you get many requests to buy you need to get a fair price. If you looking to Etsy for pricing info look at finished products, and you may need to have shipping costs (includes more time).

Re: Compass wedding gift
I figured with giving it as a wedding gift it would accomplish two things, getting a wedding gift out of the way and also with it being on the gift table a hundred or so people will see it. I’ll adjust up on pricing. Thanks for the insight guys.acourtjester wrote: ↑Fri Jan 29, 2021 11:06 am I'm with Scratch to cheap, when looking at the total time involved, not just the cutting, doing one as a gift for free is your choice but if you get many requests to buy you need to get a fair price.
