I'm looking for opinions on what would be an average rate of pay for
woodworkers. I currently work in a small professional shop in Dallas that
specializes in custom work. No kitchen cabinet or plywood bookshelf work,
just custom designed solid wood furniture, along with a fair amount of
repair, antique restoration, and refinishing. A good deal of carving is
done here too.I already know I,m underpaid (I consider it a sacrifice for doing the work I
love), but by how much? I've been building furniture for three years and
working with wood in some way or another for fourteen years. I know there going to be a lot of variation from shop to shop and city to
city, but right now I have no reference whatsoever. Any opinions or
information would be welcome.
---------------------
My personal opinion is that all workers are overpaid. And people who
receive sick pay and paid holidays should be sent to live in a third world
country. I work some times up to six hours a day and am dramatically underpaid.
Sometimes I have to borrow money of the indentured slave just so that I can
nip up to the pub at lunch time for a few grogs
