They probably pack enough for a month instead of a week..

I just thought you would be ready and raring to go..

I don't know about your grandmother but my MIL has gone out of the house by herself a few times.. Luckily people found her and brought her back home..

One time she decided to go out at midnight.. She wheeled herself down the street and got stuck in a pothole.. Some guy on his way home from work stopped to help her and then a cop came by..

Needless to say my SIL now activates the alarm every moment of the day.. She has set it off a few times trying to make another run for it..

Might make some thinner ones also..

Just my 2 cents..
i wish i could.. but dont have any way to powder coat... ntm costs alot more to have that done...


actually tried that before... hence once of the 4 times it got repainted.. was using all the same type of paint but for some reason it ate right through the other layers.. even when i switched colors...

atm im just using the steel i have around the house mainly.. its steel i have left over from another project that didnt get used up.. im mostly making these for like mantel pieces, on top of tv box things (cant remember what theyre called but theyre like a giant book case but made to put tvs into), display cases, ect ect...
