, I recently got an order from him and quoted him a price. He then started making changes and when I gave him a quote for the changes he seemed to get upset and said that I quoted him a price and he wasn't going to go any more since I wasn't a Journysmith. I told him that no I wasn't but that there are alot of maker that are not and produce great knives. I mostly do stock removal and from my understanding you must forge to get your Journysmith. There may just be a misunderstanding so I am trying to find someone that has worked with him to give me a some feed back. I simply quot according to the material and think I am on the low side as I usually make about .50cent to $1 an hour on my labor. But I am wanting to get my name out so I will do so until I feel I can charge more. I just love making and want to make them and don't want to loose a chance to get my knives out to others but I cant loose money to do so . I have not encountered this before and just would like some feed back.
Edit: after I thought about it I took out the name as it might hurt someones reputation or give the wrong idea. Can someone just provide me with some guidance in how I should handle the situation?
