We have the final sale bill from when the family farm was auctioned off. I thought it would be neat to frame it for my dad, as a memento (it was a retirement, not a loss). Holy shit is custom framing expensive. I was shocked, SHOCKED I TELL YOU, to hear that it was going to be ~$300 for the right glass and frame that size.
I decided then that my woodworking needed to focus on framing if I ever wanted to make money. (and cutting boards/charcuterie boards)
- jedimastert 5y agoI really am fascinated by the premium. The work itself is a little specialized by not particularly difficult (especially now in the age of miter saws and widely available glass-cutting equipment). Maybe it's just the cost of materials? I assume most places don't make the more interesting frame designs in-house, but rather just order a catalog to have on hand, so that's money, but it's still rather surprising
- denton-scratch 5y agoFraming a picture properly seems to be horrifically expensive. A good-quality print costing EU50 (e.g.) costs EU150 to frame - if you're lucky.
