				Howdy, Yeah, it seems pretty crazy that it would be able to succeed to me as well. It'd be pretty easy to tear up $100 worth of cutters alone in a month, particularly if you didn't know what you were doing really. Or what happens if you've got a car on the lift and get screwed badly enough that you can't really get it off the lift and out of the way. But... A friend of mine belongs and says its going quite well. I dunno what they do it terms of pre-screening folks or whatever. I'd pay that per month to have access to the machining/welding/fabrication equipment alone, without any of the supplied consumables. Mark |
