I need some brackets making?
McLannahan - 3/3/10 at 03:32 PM

In the bid to do a project on the cheap I'd like some brackets making - about 150 of them.

A crude drawing is below. I would ideally like them powder coated in black and from 3mm steel?

Can anyone recommend anyone? It's only a thought at the moment but would like to hear thoughts?

Thanks all

Isn't 40 x 3 a standard stock size?....If so why would you laser cut them?

Just a thought.

Thanks all - Have replied to Boggle.

I'm trying to mount some small form PC's on the cheap below the work surface.

One - The PC's will not be so tempting to meddle with

Two - It'll give much more desk space

Three - Hidden away means less likely for vandalism and theft.

Four - Countertop is crazy money!! I wanted 750mm but 900 seems the "wide" flavour and it's just too much money. Therefore I'm reduced to looking at 600mm and it's just not deep enough!

So - sadly not a car built purely from brackets, but a hope that these could make a cheap PC bracket for under the desk/table!
