Cheap. Waaay too cheap.

I assume half inch BB plus labor to cut it out.
Howdoyoumakenaymoney at that price?
My biggest worry is that when I'm dead and gone, my wife will sell my toys for what I said I paid for them.

Volume :noob: :fingers:

The cnc stuff done by Ron is fast, fast, fast. I have the baffles down to a science with a couple of fancy dancy new bits.

At that rate you need to add the new OTop12 and OTop15 baffle boards too. For near that price I know my friend Steve would not make that part. Worth it to cheat a bit.

If you are doing CNC, I can see a big labor reduction.
Volume, yes. But, one cannot lose money on each sale and make it up in volume.

Considering the costs of honest business (liability insurance, et al), I'm surprised you can sell those so cheap.
All it takes is for some dipshit in Kaleeforneeyah to get a splinter and sue your ass.

BTW, I'm not trying to rain on your parade... I think your entrepreneurial efforts are wonderful.
I'm pretty jaundiced on the impediments presented by the regulators, taxers, and nay-sayers.

I guess in these hard times, everybody expects something for nothing.

I think he's joking. If you want to see people turning a profit on volume, go look at the grocery business where they measure in terms of profit per linear foot of shelf space. Except for the big box stores, the lumber business doesn't work that way. So assuming he's paying wholesale for the ply a pallet at a time (better yet buying it by the container from overseas), I'd be shocked if the numbers weren't working out for him at the prices he's charging. I'd be more concerned that the volume isn't there.

CNC routers typically cut 80 inches a minute with tolerances down to 1 mil. With a good 5-axis CNC router and the right bits, you can put 4 or more 5'x5' sheets of 1/2" ply on the bed, clamp it in place and have it turned into baffles in 10 minutes or so. He could sell (with Bill's permission of course) precut and numbered kits for Bill's entire range, that any doofus could put together with nothing more than a caulk gun and clamps in a weekend. He'd just need to build an impeccable master, and put each panel on a coordinate-measuring machine before he glues it into place. After that, he'd be able to clamp a sheet of ply on the router, and crank out an entire DR or Jack or WH or Titan or Tuba in a few minutes.

Maybe one in the eye, but if the panels are properly finished before they go out, fat chance of that. And they're not as cheap as all that.

Agreed.

Those who would hand risk off to everyone else, and get all the rewards anyway, are getting something for nothing.

Wow, that's pretty cool. I wouldn't go there as I enjoy all of the building, but I can see where this will open up the designs to people without the tools, skills or desire to do the cutting themselves! Awesome!!

You just need someone that isn't related to your business to go post on talkbass forum that these are available... :D

Thanks for the gallon of Duratex! You sent me a replacement pail out of the blue since the original was too thick due to overheating or something. I thought the first batch was pretty thick and assumed that it was the nature of the product, so no complaints from me - I enjoyed working with it. The downside is that I have to build something else to use it on now.

Thanks for the awesome service!
