Project Ideas

Business

Mobile Knockout Service for Electricians

Offer on-site or pre-fab punching of 3/4-inch conduit trade-size holes in panels, gutters, and enclosures. A hydraulic setup delivers fast, burr-free results in up to 10 ga steel/12 ga stainless, saving crews time and reducing rework.


Pre-Punched IT/Rack Bulkhead Plates

Manufacture and sell 1U/2U blank rack panels and enclosure faceplates pre-punched with 3/4-inch holes for cable glands, EMT connectors, and grommets. Bundle with hardware kits and labeling to serve MSPs, AV integrators, and makers.


HVAC/Sensors Knockout Prefab

Partner with sheet-metal shops to deliver custom panels pre-punched for thermostat wires, condensate drains, pressure taps, and control conduit. Clean, repeatable holes speed installs and reduce field drilling on finished equipment.


Food Truck/Trailer Pass-Throughs

Provide a specialty service adding hygienic 3/4-inch stainless pass-throughs for electrical and utility lines in food trucks and trailers. Include grommets/bulkheads and sealing to meet health and safety expectations with a polished, professional look.


DIY Kit Line: Industrial Decor Blanks

Sell pre-punched metal blanks for lamps, planters, and cable panels, each with 3/4-inch holes and optional EMT/grommet hardware. Include templates and instructions so customers can assemble quickly without needing a hydraulic punch.

Creative

Industrial Perforated Lamp/Sconce

Punch a repeating pattern of 3/4-inch conduit trade-size holes into thin steel or stainless sheet to make lamp shades, pendants, or wall sconces. Back the holes with diffusing material for a starry effect, or thread EMT couplings in a few holes as decorative bezels. The hydraulic punch makes clean edges in up to 10 ga steel/12 ga stainless for a pro finish.


Metal Wall Art with Slug Mosaic

Create a geometric wall panel by grid-punching 3/4-inch holes in sheet metal, then repurpose the split slugs as mosaic tiles or ‘studs’ adhered in patterns on a contrasting backing. Backlight the panel so light shines through the holes, adding depth and a modern industrial vibe.


Planters with Built-In Irrigation Ports

Build steel or stainless planter boxes and use the knockout to add clean 3/4-inch pass-throughs for drip lines, drains, or conduit-mounted trellis supports. Fit rubber grommets or bulkhead fittings into the punched holes for tidy, leak-resistant connections.


Workbench/Van Cable Bulkhead Panel

Fabricate a small panel with multiple 3/4-inch trade-size holes to route power cords, air lines, and low-voltage cables through benches, carts, or van partitions. Add bushings or EMT connectors for strain relief and a rugged, organized look.


BBQ/Smoker Vent and Access Plates

Punch precise 3/4-inch vents and probe access points in stainless or mild-steel plates for smokers and grills. Use rotating covers or magnets to open/close vents and insert high-heat grommets for temperature probes through the cleanly punched holes.
