Sorry to be slow Phil,
Working is getting in the way of a lot of my fun projects
I have sold the run of brackets (that went faster than I thought it would).
I am going to make a better bending die and run another set, it will take a few weeks to get this done but then I should be able to make them with fewer labor hours. In the meantime, if anyone has a broken bracket with the plane stuck somewhere let me know I will see what I can do.
There is forward progress to report on the new batch of brackets.
The new tooling works well and I have the basic parts all made. Now they need to be welded and the cross-bolt hole drilled and we are all set.
