[T3] Camping option hinges -- making them


Well, talked with my fellow Vee-Dubber last night at the meeting and here's
what
he had to say:  Ain't gonna happen.  It would be several thousand dollars to
make the two necessary dies and shape the metal as needed.  Then we would
need
to make a good number, and sell them, to offset the production costs.
Unless I
get a substantial check from everyone who wants a pair it ain't gonna
happen.

The second option is to have a machinist make them, if you're willing to pay
$50
or more per hour for several hours of work (not including material costs).
Unless I get a several-hundred-dollar check from everyone who wants a pair
it
ain't gonna happen.

Life really bites.  If anyone has a suggestion let's hear it.  No, mine
aren't
for sale...it ain't gonna happen.
