Manic Mechanic is closing shop

Creative Engineering · #1 (**permalink**) 10-28-2009, 10:04 PM

Hello guys,

On November 15, we will be closing shop for good.

We have not had any commercial work for a bit over a year. I have been keeping the shop open with my savings.

Karen and I thank all of you who have supported our efforts.

We have talked to so many really nice people over the past year and a half. I don't want to quit, but I can't afford a 20K per year hobby shop.

Final orders will be accepted until November 2 for The sprocket adapters and sprockets only.

Jim
