Forking 1,800 lbs of steel is a wonderful way to return to the office/warehouse after a fantastic weekend. I volunteered at the info booth at the 4th Annual SF Bicycle Expo, hosted by our awesome neighbors rideSFO.

Thank GOODNESS I had both Jen and Russ in-warehouse to help get this gargantuan monster out the door. We had to do a pallet swap and some ingenious wrapping to stabilize the load.

That there beauty is a Strong V240 40” 3-jaw closed center power chuck with a custom draw bar strapped and wrapped to the top of the crate. Our crazy customer almost WILL-CALLed this package all the way from Southern California. I even considered opening on the weekend to help them pick up the freight. After days of back and forth, the smart decision was finally made to ship this via LTL freight.

Other than that, not much else is going on in Chuckland, Oakland. Playing with the sealer, sealing up wedge plunger nuts, and moving onto customizing baggies of T-nuts!
