    McMaster-Carr sells it. Never bought it. Heard it’s a good support for small parts on a laser bed.

    That's where the boss got the stainless screen from, it was 1/2 price for some reason of the last time we got it. Was only $250 for a 4'x8' sheet this time :eek:

    We’re seeing a big rise in material costs the last 2 weeks. Hopefully it settles down soon so we don’t need to upset our customers with a notice of price increase on product.

    Yeah he told me it was 1/2 price and we both couldn't believe it. Guy across the street has been hauling some of his junk cars all week, he said scrap was up too.

    are you sure its a real trooper? out here on the left coast all government owned vehicles have government plates that don't get stickers (except a true undercover vehicle, but regular unmarked do have government plates)

    My wife works in healthcare. She said if we ever won the lottery she couldn't afford to work anymore because she'd keep getting sued by patients.

    Somehow "If you can't work, neither can I!" was the wrong reply. o_O

    I've been given my next renovation to work on. This one is significantly more involved than the last one - gutting and refitting numerous suites. Some of the walls may be structural so before I start deleting things that can't easily actually be demolished, I'm looking through the old plans we have and came across this:

    Capture.jpg

    Did they build a Faraday Cage into the walls when this was put in sometime in the late 60's? :laugh:
