I've decided i want to do more than just build cabinets. I recently did a small run of repro metal parts, i have to do some finish work on before i offer them. I also took on another repro project that is in the works, and i'll announce it once the parts have been ran. It's a common part, with a special finish, and i went overkill on it, 20,000 of them lol!
I have some other ambitious things i want to take on, making obsolete metal parts, and to make it cost effective i would need to do it in house. My next investement is going to be a cnc plasma table. Pretty much like my shopbot, but for cutting metal. Also a hydralic press, punch, a sheetmetal brake, and powdercoating equipment.
I would be able to make control panels, marquee brackets, monitor brackets, joystick parts, and the two ambitious projects, midway and nintendo coin doors. Looking at march of 11 to have everything in place.
me personally, i'd rather buy a good control panel than scrape off old cpo's, weld extra holes shut, and pound out and bondo dents. Also, i figured some of my cabinets would sell alot better if i offered a hardware kit that included all the metal cabinet parts.
Anyone like the path i'm about to go down?
