It worked out to about $30 per board if we order a sheet of 6oz....and have it cut to size. That was based on 6x9 inch board - different sizes would be different prices depending on the final amount of cuts. But it would be 36x48 so someone with a large CNC could mill the entire thing and then cut it. We had kicked the idea around a long time back. It's about a 2 week or so lead time - shipping cost would depend on if we had it cut by the board house, or shipped it whole....let me know if anyone wants to pursue this line of thinking....

edit: Oh yeah...instead of wrenching on electric conversion today, I got tired of lugging my welder and plasma torch around...so I decided to build a cart for them...and then; as usual; things got a little out of hand....
24 volt powered welderchair anyone?
Betcha never seen one of these.....

(24VDC drive - the welder and plasma torch still need 220VAC, just in case anyone was wondering....)
