Amazing what happens when you use the correct lead in and lead out :)

I have a guy who wants to lay them on his gravel driveway to help keep stones in place.  Not sure that's going to work.

Hmmm... it just might make a good erosion control device - as long as you can keep the water from digging under the outside edge

It could be the next camo pattern, part of a new table /  leg design.  Hmmm

Thanks

If it was easy everybody would be doing it

I know off-road DIY-ers are always buying gussets, tow hook mounts, etc. for their projects. Seems like you could cut dozens out of the areas between the hooks. Tons of them on e-bay:

How thick is the material?

It would make a cool fence /gate at the end of the Logrite driveway.

I'd make a bunch of gussets, cylinder mounts, Chain key-hole slots etc. and sell them to DIY's. Just Google those or look on e-bay for the links I'm not allowed to post. If the machine is running anyway why not cuts stuff out of the scrap to sell?

If you made keyhole plates with Logrite logos on them, I'd buy some! :)

I think the material is too thick for keyhole plates but thanks for the suggestion.

If you just want my logo we have nice wall mount bottle openers.  :D :D :D :D

I was expecting the bottle opener to look like a cant hook. Nice Logrite logo on them, though.

I have been unable to wear my LogRite bottle opener out but I keep trying.

Just FYI, smith and wesson in spfld does outside forging and die sinking, heat treat, plating, black oxide and maybe powder coating. Possibly also wire edm and cnc work for outsiders.  I was there a decade and my father and brother still are so if you have any interest in contacts there just hollar and i can get names and numbers.  

From other shops in springfield i also know independant die shop, 2 cnc shops, a cutter grinder and one water jet/knife sharpening shop.  Got another buddy at hypertherm if its of any help.  

Those scraps between your nested parts are absolutely perfect for the thing weve been talking about.  Or cut out stars and half moons etc to make windchimes and such.  Put up random artsy shapes on etsy and they will sell to the craft crowd. 

The leftover sheets should get painted and sold for industrial art, think andy warhol soup prints.  Charles Brush at indian orchard mills is the first guy who comes to mind for finding someone.  His 500,000SF mill is half machinists, half artists/photographers and a few art deco/industrial/furniture resto folks. He is the northeast epicenter of manufacturing meets art.  34-40 front street in springfield (indian orchard) mass.  Its where my shop was.
