..sent out a bunch of workhorse machines...

they are back in stock, ready to rock. WWW.WORKHORSEIRONS.COM
i'll be putting the #13's of all of the new models up on ebay this week.

...talking about ebay, i am trying to figure out a way to get off of ebay all together. start some sort of mailing-list-notification/mini-blog-auction sort of thing. i can't stand ebay, and it is getting worse and worse by the day. i want to make sure that everyone still has a fair shot at all of the custom stuff, so that's been the hang up. i think i'm getting close to figuring it out. i'll do a major mailing when it all goes down so if you are interested, you will be able to get on the notification list.

gots a few more machines to put up...some super cool ones! i'll post those later this week.

...and a few more machines...
