Yup. Chad at B&L mentioned last night that some videos would be cool. Show the process of an entire project etc.
 
I was hoping that it will get me that Baileigh Industrial magnetic press brake that I want. And I can put it in his shop :D
 
that could prove helpful..



I still say you could afford McD's and a 12 pack... :p: :haha:
 
sick... what's it's gauge limitations? dimension/capacity?
 
here's the page for that unit...click

and at work, our brandy new bead roller is collecting dust on its pallet waiting to be properly installed...I think this is month 3...

If it goes anywhere it'd be my garage!! I'm glad I found that video, I'll be a leg up on using it ...if they get it installed before I retire!

On a serious note, we're all wishing you much success Adam! I look forward to saying "I use to chat with that fellow before he got rich & famous"...:thumb:

Aluminum is $50 a 4x8 sheet through work and they will cut it up for me into 2x4 sheets that I can fit in my car.

Vinyl is about $40 a 10 yard roll IIRC. Transfer paper is about 60 for 100 yards.

Its alot of time to peel the effin vinyl is the most annoying part.
 
I get a ridiculous discount on metal at work due to the ridiculous mass qtys of it we order daily.

We have 4 lasers literally cutting 24/7/365
 
oh yeah, in the end it's the labor that matters... an intricate piece that takes 10+ hr's to do become more difficult to make money on.....

I'd figure out something that you can churn a bunch out of, Bowtie with a bit of embellishing... Furd oval, etc...... a couple simple lower priced mainstays with wide appeal that are easy to turn out.. and "wow" Ebob cruising down the aisle with a mullet...
