I'm sure a lot of people know what I'm talking about.

At work, the cheapest price/hour is somewhere between $50-$100/hour.

Some things cost more than the above hourly rate per minute.

But seriously - just don't tell anyone about your machines ;-)

No, tell everyone, but let them know that you charge for your
time, no ifs/ands/buts, and that the price depends upon your
mood and your current level of free time. Set a $20 minimum and
scare away 90% of them. Cheapskates are _very_ sensitive to that.
If anyone gives you any guff, immediately tell them you won't have
time for it until the second Tuesday of January, 2213. Being a jerk
to arseholes can be FUN! Just remember: they need you, you don't need
them.

Don't forget to put up a sign spelling out your fees in the shop,
and include the guff clause, shop supply costs, and materials fees.
Consider the $x fee, 2x if they watch, and 3x if they "help" or worked
on it first.
