Your house.

Stainless plates to match the kitchen :)
no joke, I'll start putting aside "secret" money for a xmas present for my wife to do that.  [thumbsup]

The best part is, it would be stupid easy to put custom writing or something around the perimeter.

I can see it now, "Tonight is special, we'll take out the $1000 dollar plates"  [laugh]

I love watching the guys at work turn down delrin on the lathes.

Looks like silly string and a hell of a lot of fun  8)

Synopsis of yesterday:

I throw on a collared shirt and make 2 sales calls.  The second one was more of a social visit to thank them for passing my name on to the first place I stopped who needed someone with a lathe to do some high volume work.

Both calls are good.

I get to the shop and figure out my shirt is on inside out [laugh]

Must have worked because the first place sent up 4 more drawings.  So between that and the one I left with in my hand I'm looking at 6 figures of work maybe.

That's if they get the work that is.

I never would have guessed yesterday would go like that before it happened.
