make your own

Hey guys I want you to come up with a studio budget.

Be as precise as possible

• If you need to find out about the price of refilling a tank call Cryo Weld in Kingston
• If you need to know how much a jeweler's bench cost look it up in the Rio catalogue
• If you want to include rent divide your rent by the square footage to determine the cost of your studio area.
• If you want to find out how much material you buy, you could look at your receipts or you could weigh a finished piece and add %15

First: immediate costs (tools, furniture, lamps etc)
Second: long term (materials, rent, gas, etc)
