Also, you say you would like Pacman ones too? What should be on them?
Pacman or Ghost?

As long as you're looking for input, I'd like to request the actual Space Invaders that you see onscreen rather than the monster from the artwork. I'll buy a set either way though. I look forward to seeing your pricing on these.

I was going to do some with the Space Invaders on them, the ones from the 1st row in the game but the Monster from the artwork was a better fit. Could be easily changed though.

With the Pacman ones I could do 4 of each. 4 x Pacman and 4 x Ghosts. When you fit them to your cab you could arrange them to have 1 of each on each side of the cab. That would look like Pacman was chasing the Ghost.

I have to set the pricing at $39.95 USD a set.

I know its a little steep but it takes quite a bit to make them. Lots of tedious folding and I like to pay something to the owner of the machinery for usage to whom I am grateful for even letting me do this. Anything to do with stainless is always $$$. For those who don't know, stainless is hard on tools and specialist machinery to cut, weld and fold stainless in a commercial situation is expensive.

Considering the ones I have seen online are $35USD or even 35 pounds a set of 8 plain black ones, the price isn't that bad for these.

So if you want some, let me know sizes etc.
Because we have different measurement systems this could get tricky. You guys are in the dark ages using imperial and we use metric. I dont want to have loads of different measurements to suit indiviuals so would rather have 2 sizes per system and with 2 different styles of art for now.

So there will be a 3/4 inch top and 1/4 glass.
And 1 inch top and 1/4 glass for original machines.

I have some here now. They have an internal measurement of 24mm which is 0.9449 inch.
Because I use 18mm top and 6mm glass.
Any metric guys want some now let me know. Or imperial guys with a thinner glass top too?

I will also go to the post shop and reply with a cost for postage to USA and UK.

You have a right to charge whatever you want for your product and I understand wanting to kick a little back to the owner of the machinery that you are using but...
Lasers are not affected by the material being cut and SS is no more harsh on a break than any other material.

So yea, I'm calling you out on that excuse.  A simple "$40 for a set of 8 is the price.  Take it or leave it." would do just as well.

Nice one mate.

I stated that this type of machinery is expensive and if you work with stainless all day you have to have good stuff.  You can't just buy a laser cutter and a press brake from your hardware store and fold some clips on a lazy sunday arvo. You have to invest mega $$$$.

You obviously know enough to say that so have another think about it. SS is harder to work with and more expensive than most other metals used in manufacturing. Thats what I was stating. I have worked with SS a lot and I can tell you that trying to cut, fold, form and weld this stuff can be a nightmare. 'nuf said.

I don't make anything on these and I only thought while I was making some for myself I would see if anyone else was interested but if you only have smart ass remarks then I won't bother. Doesn't phase me one bit.

Thanks again PAL.

Don't get your panties in a bunch!  This is a public forum where I stated my opinion.  If that is enough for you to decide not to produce these things you should find a new forum to visit because here at BYOAC people call it as they see it.

Oh and don't try and get everyone all pissed of at me if you decide not to do this either.  If you don't make them it's because you don't want to not because I pissed in your cherios.

I will take some of the Pacman ones.  I think I will want these "1 inch top and 1/4 glass for original machines"  Any chance you could take a picture of them??
