1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Yeaaaaa

 

Showtime!

 

you upgraded your table!?

 

Woah how did you get a picture from my new apartment so fast?

 

Yes sir, I've had a few requests for signs and stuff, as well as many members that have asked for skids and more.

Did a real quick catering sign last night.

 

this reminds me of the random toilet my grandparents had in their basement, one half of the basement was converted into like a living room, and the other half was connected to their garage....and in-between right out in the open was a random toilet. I never remember it actually working but my mom said it did when she was a kid.

 

Sometimes you just gotta lay a log cabin and the comfy bathroom setting doesn't do it. You need the rustic atmosphere of open rafters and concrete floors to find the heart and the energy to commit atrocities.

 

Sounds like Hot Topic runs your guys Taco Bell too

 

Yo Quiero Taco Bell

 

Linkin Park's "Numb" but he's singing about his b-hole

 

"I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn't even matter"

Seems like multiple songs relate

 

dang goes to show they can make money if you hustle, which I clearly do not lol

curious how much of your clientele is local?

I went with a 15 Gal atv sprayer tank thats about right for that size table

 

Man...that's tough but if I were to estimate it I'd say - the consistent business is more local, and the one-off stuff is more out of the area.

And really, I don't hustle as one would think I do. I literally work one (sometimes two days) a week and spend more time enjoying a beer or two than I do actual work. That and I've always got tunes playing, a neighbor swings by or even a customer to pick up small parts and shoot the shit.

The locals vary between a sign or two, to parts for their own personal project, to small ornamental parts. My consistent orders are just restocking motor mounts, and specific mounts for their cross-member, and rear link supports.

As for out of the area customers, only a handful came from FB but the rest are from here and the 4R forum. I don't generally advertise that I offer plasma cutting here (since plenty of people have that ability already) with the exception of two specific items I've posted. From there, some of the members that have bought one of those items come back asking for something else. The rest were just inquiries received via PM asking if I can 'do this' or 'do that'.

Helps I'm retired because I can just spend a little bit of time at night drawing up whatever I need to cut. Next day I throw the sheet on the table and I'm cutting right away and shipping either same day or next.

I found a 15 gallon tank that'll work perfectly, and it's under $80; every damn water tank is over $100+ easily for some reason. I'll build a little platform so the tank can sit on it versus being right on the floor.

Have you been making stuff to sell to others? I first got my table to make shit for myself, with the intent to get into something bigger in the future (I'm talking like 5-10 years). It's been fun and I'm surprised with what I'm doing already.

 

A 4' long penis-shaped bottle opener would fit under your tree right?

 

I don't need anymore penis envy around here, make it a 4" one

 

4" you'll hardly even notice it
