So I've got an idea to build some stuff to make money on.

You can also save yourself a lot if cost going aluminum. Then you have the anodize option. Easier to cut...etc.

Cool, let me know.

Woo, the first customer !!

Who's next ?! LOL !

Me! I actually want something cut out for a custom grill on my truck (not as redneck as it sounds).

Where are you located?

Don't limit yourself to art. Somebody around the Canton area makes some bad-ass heavy duty lawn furniture. Its all CNC cut and tig welded metal. You pick out the chair, a rocker or a glider, then you pick the artwork that goes in the middle of the back (running horse, school logo, car brand, ranch brand, whatever), then you pick the powder coat color. The stuff sells.

I had a brochure lying around somewhere. If you want I can try to find it or run by the hardware store and pick up another one.

Great suggestion ! This is what I need. If you have the brochure, or don't mind getting one, I would GREATLY appreciate it !

If you can keep production costs down I don't see any reason why you couldn't sell a good load of those. I can't tell if it's back-lit or not in that second picture, but I think that would be an excellent addition. Hell, you could even make a water feature out of it.

You could probably whip up a few of the generic tree-ish ones and get rid of all of them in Canton before noon on any given weekend. Bring along some cards to give out and you could probably make enough of a stink to get regular work out of it.

Yes, the tree is backlit. I'm liking this idea too.

You're correct. It will take some experimenting with different metals to see what's going to work best.

Just give me an idea on what you're wanting, or if you have something specific in mind that would be even better.

I live in Allen, and would do the fabrication at either my dad's shop in Sherman, or I have access to a shop in Plano that I can use.

I have something specific. PM me your email/contact and I can shoot you my idea. Thanks!

[Up0n0ne]

We need to get together then, cause I need some stuff made but would require a cnc machine and would need about 10 sets to start.

I actually work in Addison right now too, so I'm not far from Carrollton, if you live there like your Location states. Just let me know when and we can figure something out. What kind of stuff are you needing done ?

By the way Mods, I'm not trying to use this as free advertising.

I'm trying to get some ideas and suggestions right now to try to figure out which way I should go or if I should even pursue the idea.

I don't want to step on any toes or have anyone think that I'm trying to get around anything here.

[Up0n0ne]

Yeah located in Carrollton and I wouldn't mind meeting where ever. Just let me know your schedule and whatnot. Works been pretty slow for me so I never know if I have a full day, half day, or no work. lol

I normally work M-F, 7:30a-6p, but we get off early from time to time, like around 5. I also have to work every other Saturday.

I may have missed it, but you're going to need access to a break press Nd shear, won't you?

No, water or plasma cuttin is what he's looking at. That would be one expensive ass tool
