Accepting Custom Case Work: (EDIT) Done for Now

post #1 of 29
Thread Starter 
EDIT: I will not be accepting work in 2012 and the countdown has begun for shop closure in 2011. Soon it will be winter and I will no longer be doing shop work of any type.

I just got back from vacation and have been answering PMs and emails about case work. Right now I have the time and inclination to take on some work. My shop rate is $30/hour with a one hour minimum charge. I am located in Virginia (24151) but I have an international clientele. I've been professionally modding PCs since 2005, using a skill set I developed during my 20 years working as a luxury yacht carpenter in South Florida.

For those of you unfamiliar with my work please have a look at my "portfolio" posted up in this Vendor subforum. Common tasks I perform include "factory" perfect openings in PC case panels for fans, windows, and radiators; powder coating cases; fabricating custom mounts and brackets; Liquid Cooling System (LCS) conversions and installations; custom designed and fabricated acrylic parts and components and other technically challenging PC modifications including custom wiring harnesses and unique lighting effects.

This window of opportunity for shop work will last about 2 months as far as I can tell. So if you have a project that requires professional attention now is the time to put me to work. Please contact me via PM to discuss details.

Thanks!

Nice. I've got some work for you if you want to do a window "Corsair 600T Panel Window".

Have you modded any 600T's?

Good to see that you're still kicking around you doggerel demon.

If your case work is even close to your wordsmith dancing, then you need to rethink your pricing structure...

Quote:
Two beggars are sitting on a park bench in Mexico City. One is holding a cross and one a Star of David. Both are holding hats to collect contributions. People walk by, lift their noses at the man with the Star of David and drop money in the hat held by the man with the cross. Soon the hat of the man with the cross is filled and the hat of the man with the star of David is empty

A priest watches and then approaches the men. He turns to the man with the Star of David and says: “Young man. Don’t you realize that this is a Catholic country? You’ll never get any contributions in this country holding a Star of David.”

The man with the Star of David turns to the man with the cross and says: “Moishe, can you imagine, this guy is trying to tell us how to run our business.”

20% vs 80/75% my friend.

20% do the work and 75% do the watching and commenting with the other 5% being support of those doing the work.

Some are long on the sayings and short on the doings. Bypass these ones as flotsam and jetsam tossed to the winds on the sea of inanity. Sometimes the waves be rolling and frothing.

Water off a Druid's back.

Yep. I am addicted to posting up YouTube videos.

I've got about a 2 month window of opportunity to spend some time in the shop. After that I really don't know what's next...
