    I've got the tools but my skills are lacking lol. I never really learned to weld, just bought one on craigslist and messed around making projects.

    And I’m one of them. Had over $4000 in product on order that was paid up front and was strung along like everyone else. Did get refunded quickly by PayPal thankfully. What a :crapstorm: that was.

    was very sudden and a super dick move.

    I knew an employee there. He had no idea it was coming either just got laid off one day.

    Had know Tyler for a while on here too, really since the beginning. Super shitty.

    Yeah I don't think anyone saw the Pelfrey bankruptcy coming. Employees or customers/fans.

    They had a lot of happy customers. Customers who sang their praises all the time. Myself included.

    Pretty shocking.

    I think that was a hail Mary of sorts for them. Maybe the final nail in the coffin.they supppsedly had buyers interested in taking over but that deal fell through. Pretty sure the development of the 1st gen goods was just an attempt to make the business look more diversified, profitable to the buyers. But the cost of the development for thise products had to cost a ton, money that they knew they didn't have

    Yeah idk. Its fishy. With all the preorders they had alone that was a LOT of capitol. Just poorly run I think. Sucks no matter what.
