That's actually pretty awesome. How much do you get paid to sit around in someone else's car?

$15 an hour plus tips. Certainly not a get rich quick scheme!! I averaged about $3.50 a mile driven last night.

Did ya tote around some famous folks?

Nope. Just a nice couple from Georgia that decided to come to the show for their anniversary. The company did though. We had a lot of stars in the cars last night. They rented around 100 SUVs and Cadillacs just to meet the demand for the week.
 
Doug you building that from plans a kit or scratch?


built it using the gottrikes plans, the plans cost me 18$ and i had all the sheet metal parts laser cut via Tyler's laser cutting source, it added 100$ to the final price but not having to struggle with 1/2" plate made it worth it

ill have 600 in the whole setup and that includes 1 die (uses off the shelf pro tools 105 dies) and the hf air cylinder to power it. coulda done it cheaper using tubing drops and cutting all the parts myself but it only took one 20ft stick of 2x2x1/4 (75$) so it was just easier. plus unlike swiping my card and ordering a jd i can spread out the cost in stages, i just dont have the liquid funds to drop 1k in a bender setup. also the vertical bending design makes it easier to use in my limited space
 
Yea I have a JD and two dies but I like the way that one is not permanently mounted. I thought about building one and selling the jd. I just don't have the plate available to me, nor the way to cut and drill it that nicely. LOL!
 
novelty Geek stuff? extra thick glasses? pocket protectors? clear keyboard skins?
