John Beatty Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Guys- Came up with a plan for a loadable, adjustable blob simulator. I'll hopefully have the first one in 8 days (provided we're not at the hospital delivering our baby). It will be adjustable for width, curvature and weight. For those farmboys out there, it uses a two pieces of a quartered disc plate. I'll get pics up as soon as I can.

Guest Pro Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 It sounds like a good idea. How much do you think the cost will be? Shipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wood Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Outstanding John, Your equipment and service is always top notch. Good luck with the baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 A good idea, but an old one. You have some competition. http://www.fractionalplates.com/cgibin/eda...&catalogno=9.55 On a side note, did you hear about the Steel Price increases going on right now in the Steel industry?

Tom of Iowa2 Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 On a side note, did you hear about the Steel Price increases going on right now in the Steel industry? Steel prices going through the roof....will probably see some price changes on 'toys'pretty soon. Whatever became of the 'fractional plates' adjustable sledge hammer? I could not find it on their site...which i might add is difficult to navigate-confusing- for those of us using 1997'technology. Buy your toys before the s*$t hits the fan.

Sean Dockery Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 I've enjoyed everything i've purchased from FBBC. If I didn't own so many blockweights already I'd buy this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Beatty Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 The blob simulator should be reasonably inexpensive. $30-$35 I'd guess. Thanks for all the positive comments on FBBC stuff, guys. I unfortunately heard about the steel price increases fron my steel supplier when I ordered a truck full of stuff last thurs. I hope to not raise prices, but I'm afraid a few items may go up - probably the "Crushers" & the Full length bars, they're the most expensive items for me to produce. I'll know on thurs when I drive over to pick the stuff up & get the invoice. That is if the shock doesn't kill me..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbjr Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 That is a great price, I gotta start working on the old lady now...Lets see what holidays are coming up??????She is still peeved about all the bolts, nails, and cards I have been buying, so I got my work cut out for me.....Seriously though that is cheaper than my last block weight, let me know when you got a picture up....Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 (edited) That is NOT good news about the price of steel.... Edited February 10, 2004 by The Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
