I played around with these a little more today and I came up with way more options than I should have. But I'm not 100% happy with any of them, so I can't pick one above the others. Plus I'm not sure how much people want to spend on these. We've had everywhere from $125 a set to $20 a set batted around.
I decided to illustrate the various finishes I can produce and let you decide were the quality<->price equation should fall. 1. Raw/Unfinished - $20 These are what the laser cutting shop supplied to me, untouched. 2. Blasted - $30 These are the raw pieces hit with steel blasting grit. In the picture I've sanded a portion after blasting to illustrate that the scratches are still there, just 'hidden'. These would be good painted. 3. Polished - $50 On these I use a ScotchBrite pad on a grinder to smooth the scratch marks as much as possible. You can still see the edges where the welding didn't penetrate, leaving a line/gap. This is not a 'structural' issue. Just cosmetic. 4. Fully Worked - $75 This was was rewelded to smooth out the line/gap, then ground smooth, filed into a nice line, and then polished with the ScotchBrite. Shipping for any quantity is $7.15 Flat Rate Priority USPS. Zinc Plating is $25 for any quantity. Any of the above stages can be plated -- but be aware that plating will not hide any scratches, and I suspect the scratches in the blasted pieces will become visible after the plating process, although I'm not sure. To Order *Every order includes the inner and outer steel bracket. *If you order plating, both pieces will be plated. If you do not, neither piece will be plated. *Orders for plated brackets will take a little longer to ship. *Either use the quick order button below which will add shipping automatically, or if you're unsure PM me with your order information. |
