^it depends on which way you look at it, i agree he is a proper craftsman and charges (as he should) what his skills are worth, but surely if you're doing the same thing over and over again this saves time and therefore money, for example, mitering the tubes, if he had 10 to do of the exact same measurement; jig setup, cutting time etc. would be reduced because after a couple he'd know exactly what to do.
Above all else, even if he doesn't offer us a discount, for him it certainly saves a lot of time for each of us to individually go and ask him for them
