Advice needed - steel furniture design
I'm designing a piece of computer related furniture to be made primarily out of
rectangular steel tubing and I'd like to have a prototype made, to be followed by small scale production on a monthly basis. I'd appreciate any advice on the best (i.e. cheapest) way to go about this (e.g. sourcing the tubing and having the fabrication, welding and finishing done myself, or contracting the whole process out to a furniture manufacturer). I've searched for ready made components, such as steel table legs, that I could possibly use instead of having them built from scratch, but prices are quite high. Does anyone know of a good source for such items? TIA. |
