    Sooo... you guys ever heard of those molle panels that strap on to the back of your seat? (Grey-man tactical makes them, google Rigid Insert Panel MOLLE (RIP-M) ).

    Well, they sell them for up to $215, which i thought was pretty fucking ridiculous, so.. I made my own!! (see CAD drawings below) **and by made my own, I mean copied theirs 100%**

    I bought a sheet of HDPE off Amazon for $13. Only problem is, the most powerful laser cutter that I have access to here at UT can't cut HDPE (I tried, it was bad).


    Anyways, does anyone here have access to a laser cutter for metal or HDPE? For now I'll have to just make it out of wood, but I would love to do an HDPE or metal version. Gonna buy some straps for it soon enough, but if anyone wants me to cut them one out of wood, let me know!

    Wouldn't you like to know!
    I forget the percentage I saw recently but new businesses have a stupid high failure rate of like 70-80% in Austin and surrounding areas due to lease/taxes/city ordinance bs... I know Bee Cave Gallery is horrible about this and they have a lot of turnover from businesses because they make the business that lease the space pay the tax on it.
