When I started making these, I had an unlimited supply of material that happened to be drops that I was getting at scrap price. That's the biggest reason that I could machine them, have them anodized, engrave the font on them and then sell them at a really good price, even including the fasteners and the shipping cost in the deal.

As it turned out, my supply dried up about the same time our entire country took a greasy dump with the Chinese virus.

As most of you know, the price of everything has gone insane, thereby making it difficult for me to buy new material and produce more of these to sell at a reduced/reasonable cost.

Rest assured, I am beating the bushes to try and find a new source for more material at scrap prices. I will post if/when that happens.

I don't feel like I can sell these at the price I would have to ask, if I have to use new material.
