I worked a press brake for a while and I LOVED it when these parts came in. Very satisfying fit. (youtu.be)

That's... bizzarely satisfying. Did you shp them like that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Shp? Ship or shape?

We didn't ship them, we used them in house. For the most part everything was made in house for our products.

Yeah, ship - I blame tired brain for the typo :⁠-⁠P

I assumed this was a metal fab producing to-order for customers, not in-house. Very satisfying, either way :⁠-⁠D

Definitely! And no worries, it happens to us all.
