Bandsawyers, what do you charge?

[Frank_Pender]

I charge a straight $65 an hour for the Oscar 36" no matter how much.  I rarely cut lumber with is as I purchased it to slab small logs and burls.  All of the MObile Dimension material is by the board foot.

I reckon I will be charging by the bft, at least to start.  If I charged by the hour, I would be cheating people.     Circular mills around here are charging 10 or 12 cents per bft so I will probably start at 15 since I can come to them and get a little more out of the log for them.  I figure a guy can always go up, but if you have to come down, you have to admit you were too high in the first place.

I'm a little north of the bootheel, but yes, there are a lot of mills here, just not a lot of portable bandsaw mills.
