Laying out drawings for snake racks, yes thats right snake racks & cages to. As a 20 yr snake keeper i ventured into building and designing plastic cages & racks & incubators for the hobby/buisness in 2000. I was then doing everything by hand on sheet xpvc and heat bending and chemical welding.
When Katrina hit and plastics for me atleast went up 25% , shipping went up 30% and damages started not being paid by shippers i stepped out in 2007. now im getting back into it and going with a more suitable less labor intensive method of flat ship and customer assembled units.
also are some old pictures of what i use to do by hand, i could turn out one cage per hr or little better and was making $75-$100 per unit profit.
