I actually just made a splash guard 😅 I was worried about water getting into the electronics as well. I have a shelf I made on the bottom of the table with some L channel and aluminum cutouts that holds my razorweld. Mainly because cords draped everywhere drive me insane and I already had to fab a new voltage divider cable because I caught it and snapped it off. Which I added an inline capacitor to level it out better and it works much better more stable voltage readings no random torch outs. To make the guard I just measured the distance of the torch mount bolts and height range of the z axis designed out from that. I ran a slot mount instead of a fixed mount to add a spring system to it. So when it touches off the guard it moves up and back down without binding up the torch height control. If you have a sheet metal bender that's perfect. If not you should definitely get one it's a solid investment and will get used once you have it... you'll get tons of new ideas trust me. I generally program a small v shaped notch along the edges where I'm going to bend the part for alignment and bend relief.

[@fireteamomega2343]

And actually if I had to redo the guard I would have designed it so the front portion was a separate cutout piece with a hinge so changing consumables would be easier. Which I still might do at some point

I would say upwards of 1k, but I would need to know total time invested from time of contact until completion including material cost. Plus extra for the Keystone girl expert assistance! 😆 Great job on the project and the production value of the vid as always!

[@remital6834]

Another great one. Really enjoy your Fusion 360 / CNC videos. Really like you talking costs and such, it helps us get a better feel for what signs and other fabs go for. My completely uneducated guess, would have guessed $300-$600 for a sign like that. It'll be nice to learn what the fix is for your auto torch height Also, very nice "tool chest" lol

[@JCWren]

Wow, that turned out >really< nice. And I think I have that same pair of blue channel locks, with the plastic in about the same condition.

[@austinburtch5972]

I have to play with my spring back setting in the post processor to get my thc to start at the correct height. I check it with a .060 shim by starting the cut profile in fire control with the plasma cutter off, then go back and forth between fusion 360's post processor spring back setting and re-uploading the cut profile in fire control until I get it torch height set correctly. Usually only takes a couple of tries. Thanks for keeping the content entertaining for another Indiana boy!

[@arthurmandel6541]

Great job on the sign Great detail and look, great way to incorporate the keystone girl and the tools. i think a 1000.00 or more based on time and materials cost, loved the video .

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thanks Arthur!

[@supertrooper7403]

Had to come back Kyle. I’d say anywhere from $800 - 1k for a sign like that is a fair price. I’m already subbed but you get a like for the KG…y’all are hilarious. - Matt

[@clilesny]

I wasn't sure about the tools on the end of the flag, but it came out really nice. Great idea incorporating something that connects the product with the intended owner. Seems like $100 per hour plus materials for a custom piece of work. If you move into production the quantity scale should drive down the cost. Nice work.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thank you!

[@klcameron709]

The first build video I have watched. I would guess 1200ish. Your really creative. I like the finshes on it. Awesome job

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thank you!

[@johnfogg7858]

NICE WORK!! Very creative! LOVE the Automatic Tool Dispensor! PS: I watch ALL of your vids - I'm afraid that I might miss something, or someone, interesting....LOL. A thought: (not necessarily a good one) - in your present design, you have a diagonal that extends from the bottom right of the union to the bottom stripe. Mayne you could replicate that on the right side of the flag to solve the stability issue and save the trouble of making the rod.

[@michaelgonzalez8863]

Looks awesome ! $550 is what I would /could pay . I’m sure it could be worth more to someone with less skill and more money than me .

[@danramos281]

Awesome video. Thanks for all the tips on Fusion 360. Especially for those of us starting out.

[@markknister6272]

Good work. $400 is killer! That said, $950 - 1,100 would be reasonable.

[@joshuacaylor881]

Hey Kyle! Wanted to suggest tapping a T fitting and valve into your compressor line to run bubblers in your new water table. Also, you can use the positive air pressure routed to an RV water tank under your CNC machine. RV water tank is lower profile. Open air valve to water reservoir and it will push water up into your table.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thanks for the suggestions.

[@camberedlex]

Amazing work!

[@kenschopshop]

great vid and sign !

[@pharmboycustoms3041]

Great work man! I just got my crossfire pro a week or so ago. I used your code and got the discount. I live in Greenfield indiana.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Awesome! Congrats, and thats for using the code. I think your a couple hours away or so.

[@stevek3786]

Small world. I’m in greenfield as well and have been eyeing these tables. I need to make some garage space though!

[@pharmboycustoms3041]

@stevek3786 I have shoulder surgery this Tuesday, so I'll be out of commission for about 6 weeks. My table will be in the boxes for a while unfortunately.

[@craigwarnke1715]

That was a very cool build!

[@jeffwhite2107]

Oh that’s so sick and naughty lol❤

[@DanielDavis-jk2su]

Great video! Regarding price, I rarely purchase custom made items, and am surprised medium to large box stores charge so much for stuff. I blame the markup on why stuff is so high. Seeing all that you did, and learning a bit from Adam @HometownAcres, about factoring in the cost of replacing machines into the pricing. Id say a $800-$1k for both signs.

[@JackInTheShop]

Nice tool chest BTW.

[@saschavolling7808]

Nice video. Really cool sign . Price I think 750-1k is possible 🎉

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

Kyle, just throwin this at ya. Harbor Freight engine hoist, two 2"x4"x5' , 4 'C' clamps, and either 2ratchet straps or rope. Make an Egyptian pyramid from the apex of the hoist to the sides of the steel sheet for lifting to the table,.....or wait for the Keystone girl to stand opposite you to lift the steel. I like my first idea better, cause it's on YOU if the sheet falls. (Just sayin) Oh yeah ... what's covered behind the moving pad?🤔

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Good suggestion. I just have tools and material on the shelves. I keep it covered so it looks better in the videos. Its all temporary.

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

@@SpicerDesignsLLC Ok, I'll buy that, since you keep a neat and clean shop, ...everybody has a "kitchen junk drawer'' !!! Lol

[@HarleyRiderMC]

Great video. Your lady Keystone Girl is beyond adorable. You guys are a magnificent couple with a wonderful sense of humor. This design and your workmanship on this project is beautiful. If I were to order a custom project like this after seeing the materials used, the creativity you’ve applied and the skill you use to achieve the final product, I’d easily pay $1,500. Don’t ever sell yourself short, lad. God’s peace.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thanks for the great feedback. We appreciate it

[@CrowWood.MetalWorks]

$700-800 for sure. Is that an Easter egg in the first part of the video. That 2020 sign looks like it’s flipping me off lol. Love it great video

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thanks buddy! Wheres the easter egg? The 2020 sign is the middle finger. Someone else’s file that i cut.

Yea I was telling my wife the sign looks like the middle finger lol. It’s flipping us off lol right next to your panel on the wall. Min 5:49. Thanks for the scale info once again man your doing the lords work 🤘🏼lol

We refer to the adjustable wrenches as Spanish speed wrenches

[@Tim4111]

Awesome work 👏

[@joewhitney4097]

Great video, interesting design, you have an eye for details. I haven't priced this type of work before but would think a one off special sign like that one should be worth at least double what you charged your friend for it. Thanks for sharing.

[@roblear6322]

That's a badass looking sign - that's at least a $1,000 sign.

[@hamilde]

I was wondering if you had an Amazon link to one of those tool dispensers. One of those would be handy. 😊 (not for me, asking for a friend)

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Haha! Unfortunately i dont. Thats a one off dispenser.

[@danbrown4205]

You don't need to use a calculator. Let Fusion do the math for you. If you enter 24/46 into the scale factor field, Fusion will do the calculation. It's also more accurate since its not rounding the result. Just a quick tip.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

I never knew that. Someone else mentioned that too. I will definitely give it a try. Thanks for the info.

[@HometownAcres]

I think that’s easily a $1,000 sign. Business would pay that all day long

[@jasongrinnell1986]

Damn you do good work. I’m thinking $750 for the sign. Maybe more. I mean 12 hours work plus material and shop time for electric and such.

[@rantiksadventure1920]

I can’t believe you put a metric ajustable wrench on a Mercian flag.

[@markbrockelman316]

Nice work. Like the distressed look on the name. I’d charge $1k.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thanks Mark!

[@gadgetshouseofbuild1554]

Of course looks amazing 750.00

[@StahlFabrications]

The sign came out great! I think you mentioned you had 12 hours into this build. By my numbers that sign should be over $1k with materials. Depends if that's 12 full hours. Sometimes I work on multiple projects at once in that timeframe. I always say don't undervalue your time.

[@thomascarroll1916]

Great looking sign.

[@michaelgonzalez8863]

Nice !

[@RJvidmoto]

Talent! Nice work!!

[@longshot726]

Really comes down to how quick you think you could do it. I have a different table that could do all of that in one cut session and at 200+ ipm. If I had the DXF files ready to go, probably around the $550 mark all in is what I would quote someone for this. Double the material cost (roughly $40 for half a sheet 4x8 14ga x2 = $80) + $50-70 consumable fee (paint, electrode, tip, electricity) + roughly 4 hours shop time which would include the like 10 minutes this was being cut. No DXF, add a $75/hr draft/Etsy search fee (cheaper than shop rates since it only wear and tear on my desk chair), minimum 1 hr. If it took 10 hours, my rates would be in the $1150+ range.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thanks for the breakdown

[@JackInTheShop]

I have a Longmill CNC router. I converted it to hold and trigger a plasma torch. I do not have a THC yet. Still looking into installing one. Really would like to know what yo find out about yours.

[@Will-No-Co]

My problem is I always get the cost wrong. You know how things can always take longer than you expected.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Ya i have that happening with a free sign im donating. It turned into a nightmare. Luckily this one went smooth.

[@midwestkustomz6350]

Check your connections everywhere, especially on the head. I had the same issue with mine and it was a lose connection at the head one of the two wires had a lose connection where the terminal end was crimped and it was doing the same thing yours is On the height control.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thanks ill check that out. The initial torch height is good thats determined by the limit on the torch head. I think its something with the THC and the reference voltage. Idk. Ill check it out though.

[@midwestkustomz6350]

One more thing bud, make sure your firmware is up to date cause there was a fix added for this. Just was thinking about it. 👍

It only tool about 5 minutes to start breaking down the mill scale. Then i left it on over night and wiped it off. Just hit it with some rust oleum matte clear.

[@willywonka2933]

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thats a good idea

[@rickhoguerealtor]

How much do you charge for plasma time? What is your time worth per hour? How much were the raw materials? 75 to 100 per hour minimum in my opinion.

[@scotter_dotter]

For the Karen’s: Kyle should pull tools out of his Speedo!😂. Have you ever thought of adding l.e.d. to your signs?

I try to stay away from the LEDs. I dont want call backs if they crap out and its adds a lot of work to do it right and most of the time people dont want to pay what its worth.

[@cena0331]

$400 is a steel……... Probably that much in material. Material times 3 is a rule of thumb I’ve been hearing lately. 400 x 3 = $1200. $1,200 sign. Around about anywho. Good shit, keep up the great videos.

No math need to scale you can just input size you want divide by original size. Something like this if the body is 12 stock and you need 24 just input in like this 24/12 in the scale factor spot. 🍻

What guage steel are you normally using?

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

I like using 14 ga. Mostly because i weld on most signs and it takes the heat a little better.

A sign is worth what someone is willing to pay. So it's worth $400. But, you could probably get $1,200 from someone.
