Basically they had a quote from a guy who did their garage - £600 for the cabin. £200 materials, £400 labour. 2 days.
Then my mate saw my work, and said it was probably £1500 worth of work, with £400 of that going to materials, so £1100 labour.
I was comfortable with neither £600 nor £1500. So landed somewhere in the middle.
Got a new job lined up doing a rewire for another sparky - aka, I do most of the work on a day rate. Happy to be busy regardless!
As for building furniture- go for it! You clearly know what you’re doing and what looks good. Can’t hurt to make a few bits and try and flog them?
