Congrats. Good luck with it.
First commission
On a whim, I posted an ad in my local Craigslist that I would be willing to make workbenches for people.
I got an email this evening from a guy asking for a quote for an 8' long bench. He included plans for a simple bench made out of 2x4s. Given that the wood for it would run about $90, I quoted him a price of $150 for an 8' long bench made out of 2x4s for the base and 2x6s for the top, and he accepted it!
