They filled a completely different niche than Action does.
They professionally and quickly did what we would do at home, if we had the time and tools.

Question to owners. What gizmos did they use for thread inserts? I'm sure that they are available for the DIY'rs, and can offer a big improvement over wood screws directly into the wood or particle board.
I still love exploring hardware store drawers for just this type of thing, that otherwise, I never know even exists.


hey Frog hop over here for some threaded insert options

DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES COMPLETELY WITHIN MY CONTROL YOU SHOULD GET YOUR OWN TEE SHIRT AND A SHARPIE MARKER BY NOON TOMORROW OR SIMPLY CALL SOMEONE WHO GIVES A SHIRT.

Had some of those, if you do not have right equipment, do not even try.
You will pull your hair out and destroy few platens before getting them right.
It is easier to pay the guy :)

I called Dennis from PNW CNC and left him a message.
No response :(

I guess no more pallets from him
