No photos and not much progress o the liner this week.
Work got in the way.
One of my sponsors kind of lost interest and although the product was OK
the personalities involved had problems. The first guy took his own life, the second
went through a messy divorce and never showed for work one day. Gone!
The third, a lady took three months to answer my last email only to tell me she was leaving the company.
The head honcho also never answered my email so I called and told him I was moving on. He said fine.
I contacted Brent Strydom at Klingspor and from the first minute I knew I was onto a good thing.
He wanted in right away. He came around yesterday with more product than I could use and its all top class.
Cutting discs, velcro sanding discs, fan grinders, flapper wheels and belts for most of my sanding machines.
The non stock items are being custom made.
These products cost money and I don't know how guys that fund their own builds can afford them.
Fiberglass and Carbon chew up abrasives more than metal IMO and I'd be up a creek without my sponsors.
It turns out that Brent and I went to the same school although he's much younger.
I've been invited to the warehouse where I'll go around with the "picker" and choose more product.
Klingspor have the biggest selection of Tungsten Carbide burrs in Africa and Brent says I can have whatever I need.
Whenever I get down and start thinking that maybe this project will stall miracles like this happen.
