[TheForge] Drilling holes in rods

[magichammer]

These rims are made of 1/8 x 1/2 (low dome half round) material made for 
collars.
I didn't realize that you were talking about making the rim (outer 
portion of the wheel) of 3/8" round.
I must have missed that. What is the product going to be? I forgot, i 
remember you saying that you wanted $750
I hope that you are in a better market than I have found. The 
fish-on-wheels are a tremendous amount of work
and I have only been able to sell two of them at $350. I can't make them 
any cheaper than that.
They represent a good 3 days worth of work......
