So I was thinking at work...

Wow, great idea, but shipping would KILL you wouldn't it? Anyways, I'm going to need some peices cut in the near future for a box and I don't trust Home Depot.

Actually DHL is quite reasonable... SO I have discovered since this thread. Between parts, labor and shipping, typically $50.00-$120.00 (depending on how big the box is, how heavy it is, and how many angled cuts, holes cut, or edges rounded)would be all that you would need to have your own specific design cut perfectly square, with true angles, with port edges rounded over, sub hole cut outs, or round port hole cut outs... Is that a big price to pay for someone that loves to design and build, but lacks the necessary resources to get perfection, when they really want/ or need perfection? It is like hiring someone to do your dirty work... You design it, you put it all together... Then you finish it how ever you want.... The service is Quality Convenience to the standard you not only expect, but that you hope for, at a very reasonable price. After the first one I bet allot of people would be hooked.

 
That price isnt bad at all...especially since the edges wil be rounded over and everything...so that price range is with sub cut outs and everything? Hell that would be awesome....Im awaiting on a design, ill PM you with it ASAP and see if we can work something out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Well I would be posting all kinds of pics on this forum if I had a camera... I don't own one my-self... It is the one thing I need extremely badly... It is a tool it's self.. One of the most valuable I could have... after all a picture is worth a million words... I'll have some of the guys I am doing this for so far do it... That way people can see what the package looks like when it arives, how it is packed... the cuts and a close up of the tape measurement, and of the rounded over edges. etc.

I'll get a camera soon. Got some other priorities at the moment, but will get it soon.

 
no matter now expencive the saw or how square it can cut. it all comes now to the smart the person is thats operating the saw is...... btw nice saw looks a bit fancyer than one i use

well. I build high end architectual cabinets for libraries, banks, court houses and schools...Basically allot of curved wall attendance desks, allot of compound mitered cuts, allot of radius type work. I work in a shop that is required to build stuff with perfect, or close to perfect joints, dimensions, and you know.... if you work in a place like I work... you basiaclly need to have 10 years plus experience.... I am sure I can handle ANYTHING ANYONE asks for as far as this goes... This aint no home depot, and I aint some two pump chump with a GED and a home depot name tag... Thanks for the reply though. That was fun. But dude... I don't know of any saw that can out do this one... It is simply amazing... A cut list for a single box takes me ten minutes max.

Have you ever tryed running a pilot bit through a steel pipe? It wouldn't be smart on his part to round anything but the opening to the port if someone wants to screw their box together. It wouldn't be impossible by any means, but the fact is it would be a pain...

I am not sure if I understand what you mean with that response?

Also, I am thinking about this seriously... Which means I will get a digital camera, and possibly even do a website where designers can post their designs and get a commission on each sale they generate..... My creative juices have been flowing, and I think it would be in my best interest to say F*** the scraps from work... Get my wholesale license to buy MDF my-self at whole sale.... I can lease the striebig and shop space. The designs would have to be unique.... If Moe Lester would be interested, I would do that for him if I could use all of his basic designs that he has on the sticky thread.... That would give me a good selection for people to choose from.... After designers.... screw it...... here is my idea on the kick back for designers....

DESIGNERS... Attention.......

Designer kick backs…..

If a customer comes to me with a design that I think is worthy to go in “The Vault”, I will offer them full right profit sharing. By letting me maintain records of the cut list and design. Market the enclosure with a name and brief set of specs with the pictures. Each with the designers own signature next to it. Each time some one wants to search my data base of boxes a designer could have the potential of earning a 2% commission on the sale of the box. Each sale earned from a design that came out of “The Vault” gives the designer a 2% Commission… I am the one who approves the designs worthy to go in the vault… If I were you, as a designer, I would be all over it…. Easy money if you are good. So a box that sells for $35.00, the designer would get $7.00…… That is each time the box sells... Have multiple designs, and multiply your earning possibilities. And if a designer is really popular, and people are always buying their boxes, I can select a “designer of the month” page, and a “Designer of the Quarter” page, that gives own right to the designer free advertising and credentials… This would also have all of the enclosures you build listed so it markets the designs all on the same page as the designer. What an opportunity to have instant recognition and respect! Eventually the site box data base would be so broad, and so full of designs, every person wanting a bad *** enclosure could come to my site and order exactly what they want for the exact set up they want. Which makes shopping for boxes this way much much more affordable, when you think about quality vs. cost.…? If you think about it, you are buying for price, for quality, and for exactly what you would expect a “Quality” enclosure to be.

 
^^^Whoa.....your really getting serious about this, you could totally revolutionize the way we get our materials cut....I say if you have the money to start a small buisness, GO FOR IT.....you would make a huge amount of profit....

 
And by running a pilot bit through a steel pipe, he was comparing that to running a screw through where the wood has been rounded over. It could be rounded but if it was more than .375" deep, you would be scewing into and un even surface unless you had a drill press and could countersink at a perfect 90* angle.
