Hello OBV8

 

[Westside]

Did you call Bobcat Steel to get a price?

nope. I know what he charges for targets and with my cutter it will be about 60% of what he charges for the same thing. The catch is the smallest piece I can order is a 24" x 48" sheet.

 

[chocktaw2]

I got the steel for $175 my cutter is laying the design out so he can get me a quote for the cutting time. I am splitting the cost with a friend. we will get 26 targets out of it.

Cool. Glad for ya.

 

[Westside]

Cool. Glad for ya.

Thanks.

I took my two pieces of bobcat over to his home range and he shoot them once then said he is making him some steel targets. He just happens to own a large commercial machine shop. they used to specialize in indy car parts but the last couple of years they have been making several parts for the army.

What size targets, I'm to lazy to do the math right now.

Your a lucky man. I know the owner of "Universal Metalcraft" thru the cabinet shop. He's done me a few favors, and us him. Nice to have contacts, huh?

I will end up with 2 each of 10, 8, 6, 4 inch squares, a 6 inch round, a 2x10" rectangle. not sure what else because I know my friend wanted different shapes.

YES it is. He is doing it at cost/whatever scrap he gets to keep.

You will not have trouble finding a home for the stuff you don't need. Also, Christmas is coming up. Those would make a nice gift. And no, I don't need any, got my own.

Target pownage.

Semi or tractor?

Honey wagon....a 19L-16.1

at what point does it become cheaper to get a "new to you" one?

A new to me honey wagon is 30k or more.


Sorry for the delay, I had to help the hubby off load the honey wagon. He then parked it on my gun range.
