Going to install this stacking system in my coil bay area at work today. We will now be producing parts for 4 models of Hyundai and I need to create more space for steel coils. First I have to move a boatload of coils to make room, Then I need to take up the old single stack rail system.
Good Morning GTA! Up at 0500 CST, apparently this has become my new time to get up. Have no fear, come spring I should transition back to 0400 CDT with no troubles. It’s only 23* right now, but no wind. I intend to shoot a little and straighten up a few things in my garage & work van too. It’s supposed to be pretty calm & sunny, get up to about 40*. This evening is our monthly Barn Meeting!
