So thank you for everything you have done and shared with this industry. Because your mere existence has made this industry far, far better. I know there are many great fabricators out there.. I just wanted to say; You're the one who got me hooked, personally. So thank you! |
Lathan, its crazy to think that I influenced your life! That's really cool to hear...

Greg, we're already starting to get ready for the show, which is at our shop! Troy's actually letting the public inside our facilities, which is pretty crazy since we're usually so "top secret". Hope to meet you, but I have to take off before noon...

I usually start with a Stanley Surform "Cheesegrater" type tool, then use 36 or 40 grit sandpaper. For some shapes, I'll put on a latex glove, then use 3M spray glue and stick a 6" 36 grit sticky-back sanding disc to my hand and do the final shaping.
