    Is the business going to continue under new management? It would seem a real shame if a supplier of this reputation were to no longer exist. I'm sure there are many who would like to know.

    I just called, as I have an E-wheel frame built and was saving for the yokes and wheels. They are closing shop, sounds like they have a small amount of inventory, and will call you back after checking stock. Hope, I didn't miss the boat. Good for them, Bad for us.:eek:

    Sorry to hear about the business closing. I understand they might one to kick back and enjoy themselves some. We just happen by on the way to M.Beach. We saw billboard went turned around. We happen to check them before leaving for Church. They were so nice, open shop showed us around. Really neat place. We wanted to stay longer but didn't want to keep them from church. We wish we could've visit more. I wish them all the Best, good will wishes too. So glad we got the chance to meet them. Wonderful people..

    Just saw the announcement on the HAMB, did not find out about it untill
    we started getting e-mails.Guys I am tired to the bone, and have enjoyed as much as I stand.I am in mid seventys and ready to spend some time with grandchildren before it is to late. My son Mark has chosen
    to continue hands on trainng. He has started a non profit organization called Jr Skill Centers www.jrskillcenters.com What he is doing is to provide
    the needed resources for youth tradioninal skills programs. He will continue to offer some of our previous programs. We will no longer manufacture tools.
    Thanks to everyone for all the fun and friends,but there comes a time to just hang it up.

    Thanks again,

    Cal & Joyce Davis

    Does anyone have drawings for the Metalcraft power hammer arms? If you bought the hammer parts it came with the drawings. Unfortunately I waited too long and now only Mitler Bros is manufacturing the hammers. They want to charge me $200 for the arm drawings. I think this is ******** since they used to come with the Metalcraft kit.
