    Awesome !!!

    Congratulations, there is way more than labour time there... with this stunning realization, you not only show refined skills in 3D CAD, but also you know how to work with noble materials, and you also give a lesson on style... Functional, very, very practical, but beautiful, beautiful and beautiful.

    I feel you are proud of this baby !"

    Ok here is the stupid question of the day..

    These new router cutters that work in these amazing ways, would it not be a piece of cake for one of you technical geeks be able to make
    custom made Washers at any size requested..

    Bobby needs a 30 x 40 vertical washer....

    Kienzle in Germany make a 5 slot one - about 4K-5K EUR depending on spec however...

    Been contemplating one, but am of same thoughts regarding whether it can be done cheaper.

    I think any plastic company have the abilitys, plastic welding is something I am not familiar with but I have gone as far as sourcing out the plexi.
    I would use the same plexi GREY OPAQUE as I use for my big trays, and router out the end and bottom plates, I have not figured out how to bring water
    into the system and out... It would have to be a floor standing model on wheels or base and one would need a floor drain.. I think 6 1 inch slots would allow enough space to
    wash a days murals ... I was thinking with the proper routering and welding under 2 K Canadian which these days could be around 50cents on the dollar.

    4 or 5K Euro is too much and it would have to cook me dinners at the end of the day or mix me a good cocktail before I would pay that much.

    From what I've seen of it, it's much the same as a giant version of the Nova style of washer - water in at bottom, removable dividers textured on one side, the waste water waterfalls over an internal septum at the top to the drain tube.
