honestly, it's probably a little steep for your veins...... I thought about doing that (selling my design) but it would probably cost more than you're willing to pay Im sure.
I went into it thinking it would be a breeze and material cost would be minimal, well, the material alone was over $100 bucks after you bought the plywood, 2x4, various paint colors and clear coat, hardware, custom stencils, and bag fabric.... Print Edge charged $35 just for the (2) "T" and "Tennessee Vols" stencils alone.
The painting involved with mine was really time consuming. I hand painted the checkerboards (taping them off) and if it took one coat to get the official Tennessee orange, then it wouldnt be that big of a deal, but it took over 5 coats to get the official color, and not a wal-mart tennessee/auburn/clemson/texas/ok.st orange.
But it was worth it, when I pull these suckers out, theyre a tailgate party hit.
I would suggest you make your own. I could let you borrow the hole saw ($50 for it and the bit alone, another cost I didnt foresee ) It takes patience though, they arent built over night. It took me over a month working at least every other night on it for an hour or so. Like I said though, its all worth it when people are like, wow, did you make those yourself? Those are awesome .
I agree. There is a LOT of time and money been put into mine as well. But it is all worth it to have a one of a kind. I've also done UK and believe it or not a UGA one. My friend better be glad that I think that highly of him. It was very hard making myself draw all of that Georga stuff.
