Cool stuff. I sold machine shop supplies for 25 years. Always enjoyed seeing what people were making. Have gun- Will travel The value of a trophy is computed directly in terms of personal investment in its acquisition. Robert Ruark | |||

Before I went the machinist route I was doing injected plastic molding. I set the molds up and started them up and made sure I was making good product... PVC fittings. Interesting repair on the mold. _____________________ Steve Traxson | |||

Kerry It's been a while. Glad to see you around. It's harder to make a buck in the central US these days in tooling also. I've been very fortunate to be employed by a good company with a strong management staff that has kept me busy for nearly 30 years now. We used to build nearly 50 new molds a year but now buy all new projects from Asia and then we tweak and maintain. I as well as others in my industry has learned to adapt or get out of the buisness ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | |||
