Looks great, I love the way anodized aluminum looks. How's your back-log doing? Is the back log because of shear volume or is it waiting for certain parts still? Last I heard BCG's were the hold up.
peace.

It's both of the above, and one other factor. Parts have been a huge issue. I just started to get bolts/carriers in. I am still paying way too much for them, but it does allow me to ship orders. Right now my lead-time is running between 6 and 7 months. Some have waited longer because of supply problems, others have gotten theirs earlier. Up till just recently, the WSSM parts had been flowing fairly well, and I have been able to build and ship WSSM's fairly steady. Now I have run out of some of the WSSM parts and the replacements have yet to arrive.
The order volume is high as well. I am entering the "slow time" of the year, and hopefully will be able to gain on my back-log a little.
The third factor is my upcoming shop move. The building I have been in for the last 6-7 years has been purchased by the city. The city is building an event center/hockey arena on the site, so I have to move, and the building will be demolished. I have been working for the last couple of months on a new machine-shop. I have been working with electrical contractors, plumbers and all forms of utilities, in an attempt to get the shop ready for the move. I have to be out of my present shop by the end of this month! The new shop still does not have 3-phase power hooked up, and the contractors are hooking up sewer and water today.
I didn't have a real good handle on how much work the "move" was going to be. I am spending WAY more time with contractors and other problems, and the actual "move" hasn't even begun.
I have to say, customers have been VERY understanding and have treated me very well.

Just take your time on mine...no hurry. Most important is a sweet shooting end result! Good luck on the move. I'm almost done dealing with contractors and home storm damage repair from 1 year ago. I feel your pain!
