That means you are only making 15 bucks in labor and supplies and overhead.

You're forgetting the "fun" part. Also the part about a challenge and
probably the acquiring a new skill. And reading between the lines, I
get the feeling that there's a favor-for-a-friend element.

I'll bet Tom is at the point in his life, like myself, where money is
no longer the prime motivator. I only do the stuff I want to do. if I
don't want to do it, there's not enough money in the world. If i do, a
few bucks over cost is fine.
