At work we figured the cost of a gantry over a 15' x 50' materials rack cost about the same as one good back injury.   :o   ;D

I would like to use this topic for one last post . Due to my returning to full time employment , I am adjusting my delivery times , some items I have in stock , others are made as ordered . Please bear with me as I rework my times . What I used to do in a day now takes a week . I will still deliver the same quality but the time is going up .  Thank you all . Armorer77

Glad you're reemployed, first things first after all.  Waiting for quality product  shouldn't be a problem.  Best regards, LS
