Unsolicited - Customer Feedback
Dear fiat6788,
I ordered your plans. Arrived two days quicker than promised. Thanks. I have been a welder/fabricator for many years and I like what I see in your prints. I ordered from you for two main reasons. The heavier metal makes a stronger unit, and the 140 degree swing is more than the other plans I considered. And it was also nice that your plans were lower priced than others. I have to get a few other projects out of the way first, but hope to start construction this coming spring or summer. Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the quality of your plans and your promptness in shipping. I am looking forward to building and using this machine. Many thanks.
