Stainless doesn't rust. Hence "Stainless" :: Chuckles::
Cool. I wasn't sure if rust qualified as a stain, I thought it was more of a chemical reaction or an act of God. I'm a glorified roadie. I lack "book smarts", although I am smart enough to ask you this: If your name's Mason... why are you working in steel? Shouldn't you be in a more stone or brick-oriented line of work? You probably get that a lot, don't you? I apologize.
Anyway... These guys are real whack-jobs. Thankfully, I just tour w/ them when they're in the US... I can't believe they've been shipping all of their crap over from Germany for all of these years. Whenever I pick them up from the airport, I just know that they've been disassembling the plane they came in on... probably by gnawing through it. Do you remember Animal from The Muppet Show? Imagine a band with 7 of him.
I've made a little progress with them on the expensive shipping front. On one of our days off the last time they were here, I brought the boys to Home Depot. It was like Toys 'R' Us to them. They ran around the place with hammers, and they literally banged out an album while they were there. Speaking of banging, unlike most "rock bands" their only vice is vices, and they molested 5 of them. The employees were clearly not amused. Still, the band was were disappointed with the quality of the sheet metal there, so I'm still looking for some, which is why you're mailing was well timed.
I realize though that you sell this stuff in large quantities, and while the boys would go nuts over owning a 10,000 pound piece of metal, I don't think it'll fit particularly well in the bus. And even if we can get it in there, I can't imagine that we'd be able to get up to a reasonable speed, or not crack the axles in half.
So do you sell smaller pieces, or is that not worth your company's time? If it's not, where might I get just a couple of little slabs of stainless steel? I just know I'm going to get this stuff and then they're going to tell me it's out of tune.
