Gotta make money some how. 

How on earth are you spending 150 bucks on wood and screws?

Unstupid:

3/4" 2 sided laminated plywood is about $80/sheet here in Hawaii... Probably a few bucks cheaper in Texas.  How many sheets does one of these cabs take?  Looks like about 1 1/2 if you can get both sides on 1 sheet.  Add $ for screws, hinges, leg levelers, and transportation I can see $150...

I think you guys are overthinking this. You're not really the target audience.

There are very few here being the target audience.

i guess what i am not getting from the kickstart page is what is the funding for? The project needs 18k before it gets started? Yet nothing explains what the 18k goal is in aid of?

To aquire the materials and place an order and get the parts cut for 100 kits etc?
To fund the equipment you need to be able to build and sell the kits yourself?

kinda tough to get a sense of why you need 18k up front to get this going.

great idea btw, would be great to see it fly ;)


over the years i have had several back room business like this. You are correct you always under estimate the actual effort thats involved and all the things you need. One business i had was making vaccum formed RC car bodies, sure vac forming the shell was a 5 minute thing, but in addition to that you had cutting the window masks,buying plastic bags, printing card headers, boxes, tape, printing people's address, trips to the post office, dealing with orders that never got there... all adds up. Fine if its your only thing to do, difficult when you have a day job also.
