Maybe its silly, but I am selling my machine on ebay for 99cents start price.

HERE

[turmite]

ynneb you gonna build another, I hope??

Mike

[ynneb]

Yes turmite, I will be but this time smaller just for making molds.
Why dont you get the ball rolling for me and bid for 2 dollars
Who knows you may have yourself a bargain.

[joecnc2006]

sad to see your other one go from ya, i'm sure you will have a good one in the next one you build.

Joe

[skippy]

Hmmm!!!! 200m2? Surely there will be enough room for both. Ya just have to pocket 50% of the money made from your present machine and use it for the next one without introducing it to the black hole called "family budget"
"I had a quiet month dearest, lots of problems........(like where to buy those servos, hehehe)"

[Kookaburra]

Benny,

Why don't you dress your machine up and model it on e-bay in a wedding dress, you'll probably get tens of thousands for it, or, you could tell all the e-bay buyers that your machine looks like ET and get the same result. Heee, Heee.

ute...what's a ute.....

[ynneb]

LOL. A ute is an Australian term for the American equivelent of a Pickup.
Ute is short for utility.
Our Utes are smaller than Pickups and are essentially a sedan with a tray.

[mvaughn]

That thing looks like a Chevy Monte Carlo with a bed..... er, I mean tray

I like it!

[ynneb]

HE he, when ever Americans come to Aus they are amazed at some of our vehicals.
Apparently you guys dont have "panel vans" either. Thats a shock for most yanks when they fist see them. Oh "Yank" an Australian tern for any American no matter if they are from the south or not.


Enough talk about Aus cars, and place a few bids on the machine.

[mvaughn]

Do you have any pics of a panel van?


My wife likes to watch a show on television called "Mcleods Daughters". Supposedly it is an australian cowboy show.... The reason I mentioned it is because they drive cars like the one you posted on their farms. Being a "Yank", I thought it was funny to see them driving around and using them as work trucks. Where I'm from all the trucks are jacked up so you have to jump to get in and couldn't pass a exhaust emissions test if their mud bogger tires depended on it.

[strat]

sorry but the panels have been long gone from here but there still around not my highest priority at the moment but will be a nice thing

[ynneb]

In the 70s there was a craze of doing up ( decking out) the backs of panel vans. It was a real cult thing. They were known as "phuck trucks" or "sin bins" ( obviously spelt with an "F")
I recon there is a who generation of Australian who were concieved in these vehicles.

[strat]

wanna do more of the show scene with it just like any other machines though takes money i have this on an old lincoln frame took the rear doors and made one out of them wanna set those up to open on an actuator and the front clip also ..... the biggest pain is the cost of paint jobs

[skippy]

Also know as "Shaggen Waggen" Shag is another way of saying the word mentioned earlier, waggen as in wagon, just pronounced poorly.

Hey Strat, are you saying that van is yours?

[ynneb]

Hey strat, I recon that panel van would be a great restore. I can just imagine it with some nice artwork on it.

[bkukowski]

how much did it sell for?

[ynneb]

It didnt sell, I pulled it from the auction, the way the bidding was moving it would have not even covered the cost of the components I put into it.
I am not really worried, it was an interesting excercise just to test the waters.
Seems like most of us are the same, we want to get into CNC but dont want to pay to do it. Im the same.

[Esmae]

I'm interested if you're still selling
Scott

[ynneb]

This thread is more than a year old.
Thanks for your interest, but I have already sold the machine
