Stereo stands I used to make
Not really turbo related but fab work people might like....
.125" x 1" x 2" box tubing rolled to a gentle radius (the hard way) and then .125 angle shelves welded on and powdercoated. Shelves cut out on my cnc router (MDF). Free standing - does not lean on the wall. I sold quite a few of these here in Vancouver @ $600 each. Top shelf could support 30 lbs without any flex.
I don't make these anymore due to other demands on my time but it was a fun.

Re: Stereo stands I used to make
ive seen the ones made of all thick *** acrlylic sell of 1000+ that design is sexy as hell
i like the one like that with a THICK metal counter weight on the bottom and the thing si actually drawers kinda like a curved cabinet or what not and the counter weight keeps it in check when u have drawers open but it doesnt mean u can open all the drawers at the same time :P
custom fish tanks.. now thats where the money is at.. if u can find the right supplier.. once u get the first tank installed and ur buisness cards next to it.. the orders pour in.. u can make more than 4 thousand dollars to more than 15 dependings on what the customer wants.. and if u supply the fish tank and all the fish and ---- inside it u can make even more..
---- i always wanted to get into that buisness
