So you'll earn $ 4.83 / h ... I bet some latin fruit pickers in CA get less... ;D [/quote] "I bet some latin fruit pickers in CA get less" you might be very surprised , they wont work for next to nothing like in most modern society's , there are plenty of jobs out there at good wages for those willing to work. #Post#: 47920-------------------------------------------------- Re: BENGS Eccentric Power Punch Press 1:12 metal building kit By: St Paul Steam Date: December 28, 2021, 8:21 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=Dampfopa link=topic=5094.msg47913#msg47913 date=1640721035] The fun of building comes a little too short for me with these calculations.😉 [/quote] when I build things for myself , time doesn't factor in to strongly for me , when I'm doing work for others...it does. #Post#: 47921-------------------------------------------------- Re: BENGS Eccentric Power Punch Press 1:12 metal building kit By: St Paul Steam Date: December 28, 2021, 8:22 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=Nick link=topic=5094.msg47909#msg47909 date=1640715388] [quote author=St Paul Steam link=topic=5094.msg47513#msg47513 date=1639798579] [quote author=SolingerStahl link=topic=5094.msg47512#msg47512 date=1639795489] From the very beginning until now, including the connecting rod tomorrow and some details like the adjustment bolts aside the sled and some more fine tuning & adjustments, it might have taken nearly 50 working hours to build it. One more skilled model mechanic than me with a better machine tool equipment than I have will make it possibly in less than 30 hours... [/quote] Oh my , that's quite a bit of time invested ...you made it look easy. [/quote] Well, a rough finished one will bring $290.90 - cost of kit $145.83 = $145.07 profit / 50 hours, means you would get just under $3 an hour to build one… [attachimg=1] [/quote] I would have paid that in a minute. #Post#: 47922-------------------------------------------------- Re: BENGS Eccentric Power Punch Press 1:12 metal building kit By: Nick Date: December 28, 2021, 8:37 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=St Paul Steam link=topic=5094.msg47921#msg47921 date=1640744544] [quote author=Nick link=topic=5094.msg47909#msg47909 date=1640715388] [quote author=St Paul Steam link=topic=5094.msg47513#msg47513 date=1639798579] [quote author=SolingerStahl link=topic=5094.msg47512#msg47512 date=1639795489] From the very beginning until now, including the connecting rod tomorrow and some details like the adjustment bolts aside the sled and some more fine tuning & adjustments, it might have taken nearly 50 working hours to build it.

I would also gladly pay that had I remembered to watch the auctions end ::) #Post#: 47931-------------------------------------------------- Re: BENGS Eccentric Power Punch Press 1:12 metal building kit By: SolingerStahl Date: December 29, 2021, 4:47 am --------------------------------------------------------- Nick, if you want, I can ask Wolfgang Bengs, if will let go another prototype and how much he asks for it... #Post#: 48408-------------------------------------------------- Re: BENGS Eccentric Power Punch Press 1:12 metal building kit By: txlabman Date: January 12, 2022, 9:25 am --------------------------------------------------------- Any chance of a video of it running?

As the shape reminds me on my FALK eccentric press, it will be painted in darkest green with blank metal edges. After finishing it I will try to make a short video of it but don't expect too much as I'm a video idiot... ;D #Post#: 48418-------------------------------------------------- Re: BENGS Eccentric Power Punch Press 1:12 metal building kit By: txlabman Date: January 12, 2022, 12:48 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=SolingerStahl link=topic=5094.msg48415#msg48415 date=1642007819] Yes, I decided to paint it.

I am interested in what kind of paint you are using. ***************************************************** (DIR) Previous Page (DIR) Next Page
