a half days labor, couple hundred in material, office time - you can see how it adds up to hundreds of dollars, we sub all our painting out to professionals as well, add cartage and sub-let on top, there you go.

just like a car, anything custom - bring your wallet.
I own a fab shop and can do stand reasonably price of you don't have to take a second mortgage out on your house or sell your first born.

Rates are cheap in Langly!! Here the average shop rate is $130 and any good fab shop could bang out a stand in a couple hrs if they are not dogging it, as well stand materials are reasonable.
