Reply:Big RedFrom a consumer stand point, if I was walking around BassPro or Gander Mt. and saw that I would easily shell out 100 to 175 for one. Some people might pay more, some people less. If you have 24 hours of labor though it might not be economical to produce , unless you could streamline your fabrication in some way to cut down man hours. I might just be a tight a** to though. I would ask some people how much they would be willing to pay for one. I think it is pretty cool as I am an avid outdoorsman. Something else to think about, those deer antler chandeliers are becoming really popular, and so are the antler door handles. If they were made out of metal and could be brushed, painted, or done something with as far as coloring It might even win over my old lady haha. Lord knows how much women love deer heads, and antlers. Thats about all the brainstorming I can stand for one day.Shake and Bake
Reply:Red those are aswsome. I can weld just about anything, but I don't have a artistic bone in my body. If I was to copy yours I'd have 40hrs or better I'm sure.JWC I think is right on the $ as price goes $100-$200 depending on rack size, just like the real ones.lolPut one on ebay and see what you can get.Brett B & B Fabrication and Welding Inc.Spalding, MI.

Reply:Before you decide to mass produce those, give places like Gander Mountain, Bass Pro Shops and Cabellas a chance to commission one from you, heck, I can see Cabellas alone ordering one for each of their stores, to add to their stuffed and art work collection, and paying a premium to have them made!So don't sell yourself short, that looks like it could bring you a good deal of money in a short time!Nice work!#1.
