get a book on fibreglas.... you could make one of those in a weekend. If you can make a Mame cabinet you can make a mold. |

Besides this thing is more than a fiberglass front. |

When I was 10 I helped my dad form a new engine cowl for one of our tractors. Slap some release agent on the old part (our mold) the release agent was vaseline! ;) Put your fibreglas cloth down..... polyester resin.... Harden.... flip it over.... add a second layer.. Trim.... sand ... gel coat.... paint. Done. WEAR A RESPIRATOR! I've since made some waterfalls for friends ponds. It's not that hard. In my opinion, critics are usually those that can't do what they're criticsing. |

I've done fiberglass repair but never molded anything from scratch, I'll admit that. From my limited experience I think that its a little harder than what your trying to portray it as. Most people even those with tools are not going to have the tools necessary to complete this. To get back to the topic, $1500 is a lot of money for someone to buy a kiosk to use in their basement. $1500 is nothing for a company to spend for a well built kiosk that is designed to last for years in a retail or manufacturing environment. I've got a kiosk in my basement that I got for free from where I work. It works great as a jukebox. mame.hower.us/jukebox |
