Took me like 7 hours to make the tools, 3 hours on the wood, 10 hours in lacquer and lettering and 2 hours with copper so 22 hours and $40 in powdercoating plus a quart of lacquer, brushes and paint. I guess the total wood be $275.
That's a conservative estimate of cost-to-build. If you're selling Lou, here you go.
Raw Materials estimate including powder coating: $80 (Steel, Wood, Lacquer, Powder Coat).
Add 15% overhead and variable costs ($12) : $ 92.00
Add a reasonable margin (50%) for sales: $184 materials total.
22 hours Labor minimum typical burdened craftsman rate of $24.00 / HR = $528.00
So, $528 + $184 = $712.00 sales price BBQ Set from Lou's Premium BBQ Tools INC.

10 is easier to compute for my old brain.
Lou, hope Stan's estimate is closer to what you get. Good luck.
