suwidji,
That would spoil the whole DIY thing mate. LOL.
It did the work over two weekends.
Two Saturdays, all day, and a bit of one Sunday for the final painting and fitting.
In labour terms, it's not worth it.
In material terms, it was as follows:
* $50 for the compounds and paints
* $25 for the 2mm thick aluminium sheet
* $3 for the high tensile nuts and bolts
Everything else, including jig saws, grinders, sanders, benders, files, and drills were in-house.
In other words, I think you could make someone one for under $100, if you didn't want to charge them the labour.
The labour factor would add say.............$80 per hour x 17 hours = $ 1,360? OMG
