Door trimming-How much should I offer

Mary R.

A Friend is taking my four hollow core panel doors to a friend of his to have him trim them to size with his table saw. How much is appropriate to offer him for this work. The fellow volunteered to do it free, and I appreciate that, but I don't know him and feel I should at least offer. i don't want to either insult or over pay.
What's it worth? Quick trim of 4 doors with a table saw by a man who knows what he's doing, vs hand planing and sanding by a man who doesn't really know?
Thanks.

Does he like beer? Buy him a 12 pack, no one is insulted by a 12 pack. If he's not a drinker, take him out to lunch or something. I would do it for free as well, I'm always looking for an excuse to use power tools.
