This year we have continued to expand upon our capabilities by purchasing a number of new types of equipment for tube forming. This includes a Fein tubing notcher and deburrer, a Baileigh tube roller, and an RMD tube bender for tight radius bends. These purchases will expand our capabilities with handrailings as well as new and interesting sneezeguard designs. We also are looking at expanding into related industries such as custom automotive and motorcycle fabrication services.

Although the past year was not as busy as previous years, it was still a successful year thanks to the hard work and dedication of all our employees. As such I would like to thank all our employees as well as our suppliers and our customers for another successful year.

As with each year, the shop will be closed for the holidays from December 23rd at noon until January 5th, 2009 at 6:00 a.m.
