That's how I do it. I usually end the job within 5-10% of what I quote.
USUALLY. You will loose your ass on some jobs; just mark it up for
experience.
I charge $60/hr shop rate and $75/hr in the field. This figures in
consumables unless I'm running a process that uses and excessive amount of
them (heavy OA cutting, high deposition welding, etc...).
The number you come up with will probably look high. You'll get used to
that. Don't starve.
