    I've been wanting to ask you, have you ever run across any of these?

    If I spent any time there, I'd be walking around with a round point shovel in one hand and a revolver in the other...........

    I spent 20 years at a shop in Hanover Pa called The Sheridan Press, then 6 at a mom and pop shop in Mechanicsburg called Waveline. @ Sheridan I was running an 8 unit ManRolland 700 series with inline coater and extended delivery. It had a sheeter attached so we ran rolls and cut our own sheets. It had all the bells and whistles. When the industry tanked, I was one person shy of getting dayshift after the layoffs and realignment. Spent a year waiting to get back and called it quits. Night shift isn’t for me (I had already paid my dues there).

    I have sold a few, the price would vary based on the complexity. The size is limited by the width of my planer (13in), and in the case of a geometric pattern like the ones in my previous pic, it has to be a square in order to look right.

    I am planning to make another batch of them in the next few weeks so I can trade one to a friend for some work on my truck. Send me a PM if you’re interested and we can talk turkey.
