Off topic, but is about a project...

Hey guys,I hope I dont rub anyone the wrong way by posting this here.  I have a guy in Avon, OH that wants something.  He got my name from a friend of mine whos product he saw at the NC State Fair.  Shipping is making it cost prohibitive for me.  Basically he wants a round grate to go over his outside round brick fire pit.  I will give you a pdf file of what he approved.Is there anyone here in or around Avon that might could help him.  TIALast edited by ECAVE; 11-09-2012 at 12:46 PM.ECAVE Still learnin'Lincoln AC225Lincoln 135SPHF ChopsawVictor O/ANumerous other items

Reply:Nothing cost prohibitive about it for YOU...  Tell him how much to make it, and how much to ship it.  If he's willing to pay, then you've got a deal.  You don't need to cut into your profit margin because someone wants something heavy shipped a long way.Definitely cost prohibitive for HIM though, unless you do some real unique and high quality work.

Reply:Definitely cost prohibitive for HIM though, unless you do some real unique and high quality work.[/QUOTE]LOL......a fire grate for a round fire pit.....real unique high  quality work.The assumption is that the "friend" is a welder of some description who can aquire steel or iron and has welding equipment or access to some.If the above is valid, then it doesn't take much imagination to make something to stop the fire material from dropping to the bottom of the fire pit.......a few lumps of old iron welded here and there and you have it.......as soon as it corrodes away, make another.Ian.
