Re: Indy Gear Hanger Display - Egyptian Theme
Hi Chaps
As always thanks for your great and encouraging comments.
OK so I have been working out costs to produce these babies as there are a few interested parties. Problem is that this is a big old chunk of resin. The dimensions are quite large and the resin has to be quite thick for strength.
Obviously I want to try and keep the costs as low as possible for anyone interested, but we need to get to around 25 to make it viable. Question is are there 25 interested out there? Am I asking too much?
We are planning to offer the display in kit form with the dowelling hooks pre cut with bull-nosed ends, keyhole plate brackets counter sunk into the back for hanging and the screws to attach the hooks in the pre-drilled holes. All anyone would need to do is paint the display how they desire screw the hooks in place and hang the finished piece.
We will of course offer to paint and finish up the kit in whatever treatment desired if requested to do so, but this will of course be an additional cost.
The kits would be $100 plus shipping which would be extra. I have no idea as to the finished weight yet.
As I say this is a big old solid piece, but it needs to be to hold the weight of the various items of gear.
So any takers? Can we get to 25? Or is this truly a one-off for my wall only?
Let me know and if we can get the numbers we will start moulding.

Re: Indy Gear Hanger Display - Egyptian Theme
No takers guys?
I know it's more than I would have liked, but the silicone and resin needed are considerable, so there is little I can do I'm afraid.
No worries if not I'll get on and finish it up for my gear.

Hi to all
OK guys I know that the display is not as low cost as we would have hoped, but considering the large amount of rubber required to mould the piece and the resin needed for a substantial support, it is not that bad.
So far we have 3 interested including myself.
Are there any more takers?
