chassis builders

Hi guys, I am finally back online after two years off due to health problems. My eyes are a little better plus my son bought me a big monitor. Not ready to build again quite yet. I saw somewhere in the last few days a post about a "new" (to me) chassis builder who builds aluminum chassis. I neglected to bookmark the site. Does anyone have any info on current chassis makers? Thanks

Hi mcrracer,

Welcome back!

I know there was a recent chassis thread talking about Dirty Dawg chassis, I believe his shop burnt down.

But there was another chassis builder mentioned in that thread.

I'm sure somebody will find the right thread for you.

Ha, I found it.

It is Great to see you back M !!!
Haven't bought any blank chassis in a while, so I don't have a source while DDawg is down - sorry.

That somebody is probably me. Since Brian indicated he wasn't going to rebuild any time soon (and may never rebuild) and there seemed to be a need, I have invested a lot of time and money into attempting to replace him. I have four sizes available with or without IEC sockets (allows use of a computer power cord), and hope to soon be able to offer custom sizes. The equipment is expensive and I do not want to borrow money.
I also have a vertical mill (manual, not CNC yet), so I can do rectangular cutouts for lay-down transformers, rocker switches, etc.

So you actually do the cutout for the IEC socket? You've got my attention. Your 17x2 is $25.99. How much extra for the socket cutout, and what size?

There is always a need for chassis suppliers for JTM45 style, Trainwreck, Fender slants, and Dumble types both ODS and SSS.

I've got a couple with the iec cut. its very nice to have that done before hand. I like the chassis.

four bucks extra for the cutout and I include the socket and machine screws/nuts. I have eight versions listed now, four sizes with and without sockets . I was going to offer them prefitted with rocker switches, but nobody seemed real excited by that.

For some reason, when I post I keep getting an error, so I attempted to repost. I didn't realize the posts were succeeding. Sorry about that

Yeah, it's funny that way.

One click, one post.

I get that all the time too, the error message implies that the post did not go but in fact it did....FWIW am using Chrome on a Mac.
Anyway, hope your chassis building endeavor works out, sounds like you are set up to produce high quality at very reasonable prices.

JerryZ, do you do thicker gauge aluminum? 3/32"? 1/8"?
