[sdiy] anyone interested in some cheapish engraved euro sized front panels?

[Julian]

Most of the time, quick.

Id be lying if i didnt admit to the occasional job sticking for a while, for some reason or other, but, most of the time, jobs go 
out the same week they come in.

These euro panels will be very quick though - i have a couple of machines here, and ill use the smaller one to do the panels.  Thats 
why im not offering to route them also, as the small machine is engraving only, but much quicker to set up and operate.

The biggest delay on these ones would not be doing the job, but posting it, as the post office is a car trip away, and, youll have 
to forgive the unfavourable economics of spending 30mins in the car to get your single 4hp panel sent the moment its off the machine 
: )  I normally visit the post office once or twice a week...

Just to clarify though - i had not really thought about doing this (euro panel) deal long term - it was more just to clear the 
(limited number of) panels i found when clearing up!
