hi Tattooed, sounds like you've got a "grinder" on your hands there and
you'd be best off just raising the price to $1600 (or more). He'll either
pay it or go away, and it might be better if he went away! Check this

This is good advice before accepting any commission. If the customer or
the job don't 'feel right' to you then either ask for a whole bunch of
money up front or politely decline.

Someone made the point that economically it's better to put your time to
use on a low paying job than to sit idle. Economically that's correct.
However you have to factor in what it does to you as a person. If it
makes you feel resentful or taken advantage of, you're better off
sitting idle, economics or no.

If they don't want to pay for custom furniture, send 'em to Walmart and find
another client..
