How much to pay for cabinet shop cuts?
Hi all,
I've got a mini-gloat and a question. I don't have a shop setup right now, so I can't make much these days. A lot of the furniture in our house is pretty ghetto. Normally, I'd hardly ever buy any furniture at IKEA. But I was there during their sale, and whoa, I found this oak table: http://tinyurl.com/l8cg5 For $200! Finally, a table which can seat all of our guests when we have a lot of people over for dinner. No more tiny ghetto table! But gloat-karma wouldn't let me get away with such a simple plan. A table that's almost 7' long is stupid big for daily use. It pretty much dominates the room (duh). But I am a tight-fisted guy, and not willing to give up so easily on my hard-won (ok, accidental) windfall. Issue #182 of FWW gave me the idea that I could have a cabinet shop cut two 12" leaves out of the tabletop and aprons. Then I could install table slides and alignment pins from Rockler. (The table top is a glue-up sort of random-plank, not a solid cut of oak, so I'm not too concerned about wood movement?) How much should I expect to pay the cabinet shop? What's a fair price? -- __________________________________________________ _____________________ Marco E. Nicosia | http://www.escape.org/~marco/ | |
