I'd charge that. But then again I might charge a couple of cases of good beer depending on how hot the day is.

But then again, buy the cheap dies, say 40 bucks for the pair, 10 bucks for the cutting oil, oh you do have a die holder don't you? If not then that's an added expense. spend some time practicing, then do the job. Surely you will be doing it again some time.

And you wonder where the skilled folk have gone.

I guess I'm grumpy :)
