I need to buy some steel for the trailer but that is a bit too big. Thanks for the offer.

One time I had to order 5' of 5x3x3/8 from metal supermarket. They charged me $160. That irked me off.

Have you price shopped Discount Steel in Saginaw? I know it is a drive for you but they have always been better priced in my experience.

Luckily Ant and I have a great supplier very close to both of us for new and used metal and machinery. My parents had been using them for 50+ years and now Ive been using them for almost 20. Have a great supplier is worth its weight in gold. From boat cleats at my moms marina to fully fabricated steel beams primed and delivered to my job sites and everything in between they do a good job.

The rear bumper is all wrapped up. I think she turned out pretty sweet, and the customer is happy, so that's a win.

Looks great! Very lucky customer!

What does that customers tag mean? "maybe a dike"? lol

I like the Tent on the tag - thats pretty cool.

Thats bad ass - we have different tags but they are all the same lame yellow color with just a different image on them. TX gives you totally different designs with different colors. Must be nice to have some real freedom lol

Temporarily moving to the woods for the weekend. It seems to help, but definitely is not the cure for my ailment.

Very good fab work. Job well done.
Give that guy a stack of business cards, I bet you will have future orders.
@SMKYTXN

Awesome work sir.

Thanks fellas. I have all of my cut lengths and notes recorded so I can make another easily. I figure the next rig will need to be in the shop, but after that I'll put together a jig so I can ship these.

And yeah, the plate is supposed to be Moby Dick.

Here's what I've drawn up for the front bumper.
