Members LumpenDoodle2 Posted June 17, 2016 Members Report Posted June 17, 2016 Would love just one of those machines. I don't really need one, but still want one. Need a workshop to put it in too......... “Equality? Political correctness gone mad, I tell you, gone mad!!!! Next they'll be wanting the vote!!!!! “. Anger and intolerance are the enemy of correct understanding
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted June 17, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted June 17, 2016 Yeah, that's another thing there.... New toys to play with: $5,000 U.S. New floor space for toys: $$30,000 U.S. "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Members Big Sioux Saddlery Posted June 17, 2016 Members Report Posted June 17, 2016 Haha that made me laugh JLS. Too true! And I WISH I could build the space I need for $30,000!
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted June 21, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted June 21, 2016 'Round heah.. you couldn't BUILD for that, but you could EXTEND for that "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
RockyAussie Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 I always run out of room but here is my latest solution to needing more space and security.I built it myself from two 40 foot shipping containers which cost second hand about 3,500 each (The big ones work out a lot cheaper per square meter) and the steel for the rest cost about $11,000. The apex joins I copied the design from my larger factory and got them laser cut and folded. They are for 200mm C channel and in total I went 7.5meters wide between containers.I can send the DWG files for the laser cutting if needed. This is for a cyclone area and was put to the test at the highest rating on Feburary 2015 and came through fine. It may be of some help to think outside the norm.

Members Mhicks Posted August 16, 2016 Members Report Posted August 16, 2016 I hope this isn't off topic or bad form but if you are needing smaller peices split I found a place called McCarty Manufacturing in Michigan, he can split up to 16" I think he said. I sent him out a bunch of odds and ends earlier in the year to be split down to make wallets with, if I recall his rate was $40 an hour or a $25 minimum.
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 17, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 17, 2016 Well, that works for folks up that way, so thanks for the info. For myself, at $40/hr + shipping both ways on leather i already paid shipping on, maybe just buy me a piece of the weight I need I really don't need "splitting service", I was just wondering why there were people offering clicking, sewing, design, web site and graphics, but no splitting. Oh, well .... "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
