Greetings,
     This is going to kill you financially.  How much would you charge for
rebushing a set of keys?  Double the cost of the felt?  
    If you can figure your hours, you should know what your time is worth per
hour and go from there.  If it is your first restringing job, this fomula will
not apply, since your hours as a first timer are not going to be worth as much
as they will be when you are fully experienced. Your hourly rate should
reflect that. 

Good luck,
