Markuson,
If you see some more of my toys you will move to Oregon

Oh believe me, I'm well aware of what I can't do in Kal...and what you CAN do there.

A good number of my items just became illegal to buy here as of January...

Unfortunately, the lawmakers in CA have long since gone full <intellectually-disabled> on this matter and the lawmakers here in MA aren't far behind. Sigh.

I'm also originally from Boston. Pretty sad state of affairs. The libs are really doing a number on the north east.

Plus, heroin and Bernie Sanders

 

[M1911]

Heroin is a huge problem here in the Northeast. Meth, not so much.

 

[TonyP]

For sure. I've got family members deep in the heroin mess In NH.

My sympathies. I have a number of friends who are recovered junkies with multiple years clean and sober. But they are the lucky ones. I've met a lot who relapsed, and several who passed away.

It's a damn tragedy, each and every one.

I've learned there are at least two others making lids. I've been weighing my options. I haven't stopped but I've been cautious. Right now this is one of many marbles that I continue to move forward.

Really? Who?

I've only seen a one-off cover...which is not something I would buy.

Yours was a lockable, larger storage that takes full advantage of the space.

Anyway... Still hoping...

I got the impression his were not larger, secure, lockable units. Are they?

I don't think he's finalized his design or even started. You know as much as I do on this product.

Hmmm... Do you have input on those?

-If he can take full advantage of the space souroundi g the wimpy stock rectangles and make it lockable? I'm all in!

I'm not his employee or anything just a fanboy I'm sure he'll make a post on it. Throw a post in his product thread and see what he says.

Don't want to litter @NLXTACY thread

Ah. I thought it was a one-off like the bumper and that you were commissioning it...so hadthought it was per your requests,etc.

I really hope @NLXTACY makes his, because his design looked amazing.

Well, technically I'm taking a wait and see role on this particular piece. I've now heard of three companies potentially making this and I'm the small guy working out of his garage. I can't afford to battle for a percentage of a niche of a niche of a niche.

I have ideas that would surpass nearly any offering but fighting for market share, and from really good options, isn't in my best interest

That being said, I have made movements on this piece that I didn't detail here. Plus, I haven't seen any of the other three come out with anything. So if that continues I may move forward.
