    Question: What to Charge?

    "nine to five" is the way i chose to go. in doing such, there's a tremendous amount of time for which there is little compensation. regrets on my part ? absolutely none. i'm involved in stone carving, glass etching, sign work, oil painting and a host of other creative pursuits. for me, engraving...

    Stuff I cut. Steel engraving for a Gravure Company.

    last year i saw some rather massive tractor parts that were 3d printed. not sure, but i think they were made of steel. it must have taken forever to lay down all the layers needed to complete such a piece. probably way cheaper than the foundry way.
