To the people who build boxes

Recommended Posts

unless it is a really close friend i charge 20 bucks plus cost of material.. the 20 bux goes to replacing the saw blades when they need it, buying new router bits, keeping stocked up on sandpaper, having to get new pencils cause every box eats at least one lol stuff like that

I have never gone through a whole pencil or pen before losing it or having it "borrowed" in my life lol

And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle ;)

Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..

Lmao, in school, I can go through a box in a week of pens, but a pencil for marking on wood, shit. I have gathered more than I can get rid of xD

Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out.

not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. :)

I quit building boxes for other people if i can help it. I built plenty of boxes back in the day that were winning comps, but people didnt want to pay more than what a prefab costs. Now i only do my stuff and on occasion to help out a friend.

2000 zx2: Rebuild with 8 12s on a 10k underway!!

That is just materials, not including if you designed it either or not. Another thing to add in

Doesn't include the fact that I have designed and built that type of box a dozen times over to build this one to do a 50 in the truck. ;)

Also doesn't include the beers and cigars it takes to get the build going or the 5 gallons of kerosene to warm the shop so i can build

Depends on your skill level and the person you're doing it for. For a friend I would just give them a print out of the required materials and have them cover that.

Materials plus beer :)

And make sure friends pay attention so next time all you have to do is supervise them

friends I just make them buy the stuff (and like smoove buy me some beer) and help me out. others its the price of materials and usually like 25-50 bucks labor depending on box size and how much work I have to do to it

once you get a speaker moving so hard that its possible to make tinsels slap, you are already kissing "SQ" goodbye. :D

Don't get me wrong, as I smoke Marlboro Reds, but if I saw one more kid with that smug-ass look (Look at me I'm smoking indoors) on their face, I was going to shove that thing so far up someone's ass that they'd look like a hillbilly trying to understand quantitative prediction theorem.

You know why people are ass holes online but not in person? Because getting punched in the mouth hurts.
