Would u pay for this???

[LIVE2RIDE Powersports]

I am officially a stay at home dad now. My wife decided to go back to work and let me watch the kids and work on my skis. Well i added the work on my skis part. Anyways i have a sandblasting cabinet and i blast all my jet ski parts before i paint them or leave them with grey metal. It looks cool. I charge people around here a dollar and inch for vents,household stuff, etc.
I meassure the longest side and that the price.

Would u pay to have this done if i start offering my services???

You'll probably do fine locally but if people have decent sized items that they need to ship you, the freight out and back in may become cost prohibitive.

I would definately if I was local...if I had to ship I wouldn't bother...

yep, same here.
The local guy is pretty cheap.

so do you charge per sq inch or linear. the shop around here charged me $30 to blast a head which isnt large at all

 

[teton]

my shop does it for free when i get boring, decking etc.......

great idea...unfortinatly im a tool maker and do it myself and for all my budds....

 

[LIVE2RIDE Powersports]

just meassure the longest side and thats what i charge. say the head was 12 inches long it would cost 12 dollars.

due to blasting being done on a metal surface, and metal being heavy costs a lot to ship compared to other things. won't work unless your local for someon.

but why not register a business, advertise on a few local websites, or papers, just cheap advertising, put it in the yellow pages. You'll be able to snag a few bucks extra, thats nice extra money if your wifey has all the bases covered with her salary.

advertise for car parts, they are larger and heavier, meaning more $ for you.

Side businesses can really make you some decent money, even if just done locally and off the books/cash only deals. Its up to you how to run it though.

ya my wife brings in 850/week after taxes and i own 2 small businesses that make me around 600/week after taxes so this is really just to keep me sane with the kids.

Advertise, get lots of local business, and get some mod cash on the side.

If you want to you could put the word out on Craigslist.com that you are willing to work on a limited number of jet skis. Just pick and choose the brands and jobs you want during the season. Don't get 42 jet skis stacked around your house so the city stays off your back and you might be amazed and the amount of money it will bring in.
