Really nice mate, batteries are the future.
I'm interested to know their budget
Thanks, their budget was 2k. So by the time I'd got the timber, done some drawings and delivered it ( 1.5 hours away) wasn't a whole lot of carving time on each one. Not complaining at all. But just interested in what others would charge/ achieve with a similar budget. Definately felt like i had to just whizz through these and not get caught up in the details ( like getting the hands tweaked and spot on). Would have liked to spend alot longer on them!

Hi Bill it’s F###ing hard with pricing as we always want to do the best work we can but then most of the time we end up paying ourselves like £4 an hour people are always telling me my prices are too cheap .
Agree its very difficult! Basically if someone wants a carving im keen to do something whatever the budget, its just hard to say its finished when you know with a bit more time it could be lots better!

Wow, 6 pieces at £333 each not taking into account the cost of wood and delivering.
They got a good deal.
In future, a more realistic compromise would either be to scale them down or maybe do the core 3 figures and have them budget to add more figures each year.
You did a great job considering the financial restrictions [emoji106]
