So what do you fancy about the site emblem being replicated in a machined solid 3D machined fender badge type emblem? I can add the work member to it or just the basic CK5. Will be 6061 Aluminum. Will eventually off all kinds of color coating options. Powder coating. Anodizing. Coatings that won’t sun fade. Thinking either machined raised lettering, or pocket milled lettering with a brute epoxy paint and fill the lettering. Thoughts?
I’m Just getting going. I have a MASSIVE amount of work to get to the point of having material blanks ready for machining. I have material. I need to saw cut all the plate up. And of course my Vert. Band saw ha some damn issue. I have to do some inspection on it to see why it’s making some god awful noise when turned on. Wtf?!
Anyway, my buddy says we Need some sales. So I’m working on at least getting a prototype emblem machined up. Then I’m hoping Steve and I can recalculate up on this. And I can start making cool stuff for the Brotherhood. So I will eventually be requesting orders. My buddy says we have to have cash flow so orders.
Well then you Got to have a product to show. So I’m working on it fellas. I’ve spent my entire life saving for the shop I had. It took a hit moving, but it, nor I am dead yet. This is my last shot though I believe. Here at my buddies shop helping his business try and get off the ground too. Waiting to get together with the CNC programmer to get some things programmed up.
So my buddy is starting to struggle with business expenses too. He’s finding out just like I did, a business is Brutally difficult to start when it’s a High overhead type business like a machine shop or manufacturing facility. We have some jobs being worked, but need more. So I want to try and help pick up the slack and earn and help keep this new business open until he hits one on the huge contracts we’re actively seeking business for.
We’ve received some major certifications that allow us to do military work. Trying to turn this into something Big. I’ll gladly accept all the orders I can get when the time is right to be ready for full run production.
My buddy is powdercoating parts with literally robot precision, because we’re using one of our Fanuc robots to coat the parts. To maintain a spicific coating thickness and tolerance. Yeah we can do that. I would love to post a video but no can do. Proprietary components.
But I know you guys would hella dig it. A bad ass programmer with a multi-axis articulating jointed robot arm, can write in cursive with the damn thing. With a pencil or engraving processes. Serious programmer skills I Wish I possessed.
