Cherryman, nice work! What kinda pricing on the cnc lexan or plexi.

 

[CheЯRyMan]

Most of my carved enclosures cost 250.00 most carved windowed lighted enclosures are 450.00. This enclosure was 575.00 and includes 2 different sets of dynamic Led's. One for the basketball court and one for the sub glass windows. I never use plexiglass its weak Lexan is 10 times stronger than plex and will not crack or stress. See the build video here

many more of my builds on my youtube channel. Thanks

Nice looking builds buddy. What thickness you usually use for installs ?

 

[CheЯRyMan]

.75, 1 and 1.5 mdf Im also talking with a vendor to use colored MDF (which is expensive 100.00 a sheet)

 

[big scott]

look into doing birch plywood. better then mdf and looks nicer.

 

[CheЯRyMan]

Yes Ive used birch many times when customers request it, but it chips and over time the edges start to peel/separate, it sands unevenly due to the ply base but the main reason I personally dont use it you cant carve into the material since its a ply. Doublewalled Birch Box here

 

[MrFoca]

I was talking about the lexan, sorry should have said that. You ever use MGP on any boxes.

 

[CSCStang]

Nice chit brotha!

 

[CheЯRyMan]

In 2 years of using .25 Lexan Ive never had failure.

 

[MrFoca]

In 2 years of using .25 Lexan Ive never had failure.

Really. That thickness is that strong. Wow. I would of thought .375 or higher

 

[CheЯRyMan]

The key is keep large sizes supported small sizes hold up just fine always use fasteners 1" to 1.5" apart and don't drill near the edge. General rule I use hole must be at least a inch away from the edge. The double walled Birch box build customer requested .5 lexan and a 12" x 6" piece was 60.00 at my cost.

We could always use another builder here; there aren't too many active.

I offer individual carved pieces for other builders to incorporate into their projects

I work exclusively one on one with the customer to get their project perfect.

All enclosures are built with cabinet makers techniques NO BRADS EVER, pocket holes,dowels and wood clamps for a clean look my joinery is always on display
