Nice work!
Given how many words there in your description I don't even know the meaning of, I think $70 may be not that wrong as a pricing point. I mean, you sound like somebody who knows what he's doing. So it took you $18 in materials and some time - let's say overall basic cost of $35? Kinda arbitrary but shouldn't be too wrong. Now for somebody like me who doesn't even know what the words used to make it mean, let alone having all the tools and the instruments and the materials and the knowledge of how to do it sitting around - 2x the basic cost sounds like not that bad of a deal. It could be a fun little project if I wanted to take up woodworking - and maybe one day I will - but if I want to just get a frame and be done with it, the price doesn't sound outrageous at all for me.
I can see this. But funnily enough, I didn't get into woodworking for it's own sake. I got into doing what carpentry repairs seemed at my skill level for the house I bought. Because finding contractors willing to do small repairs is borderline impossible because reasons, and the ones that are willing to slum it doing handyman tasks instead of flipping houses want an arm and a leg. So primarily I invested in a table saw for those tasks. Saving $60 on a random frame is a fringe benefit of having built a skill set to save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on relatively basic home repair tasks.
