I think you might be underestimating "overhead."    Where are you going to work and what are you going to work with?  Don't forget travel time, time spent on "free estimates,"  time returning phone calls, running out for supplies, tools, & repairs, time to keep your books in order, do a little advertising, have a phone, insurance, heat and cool the shop, keep the lights on,  the other half of the FICA contribution, workman's comp, health insurance, time off for illness and maybe a few days off once in a while.  Oh, and you might need a vehicle big enough to haul things.  Count on a business vehicle's insurance being two- to three-times what you might pay on a personal, non-commercial vehicle.

If 25 bucks an hour is on top of materials and overhead that's plenty for me

There was a lengthy discussion about this on Carr's Corner a few months ago.  I hope cross-posting is OK, http://www.carrscorner.com/yabbse/index.php/topic,5335.0.html]


Sage posted several videos of both his version and his chisel work.
