Some of you may find the latest Reuters Industry Summit on Manufacturing quite useful:

Top executives from the biggest and most influential financial companies converged in New York today for the Reuters Manufacturing Industry Outlook to reveal their plans for the businesses and views on key developments in the wider industry.

Reuters Industry Summits bring together top executives from key industries in closed-door sessions with our global teams of specialized journalists. During the course of the Summit, Reuters posts exclusive news stories and video interviews which give valuable insight into the companies, the sector and the economy.

You can see all the interviews and read the latest on the summit here.

Well The Fabricator now has a blog and it seems to tick all the right boxes. It has several contributors ranging from various members of the editorial team to the web content manager and it should be an informative little read for those who already use The Fabricator.

It also has a nice mixture of posts so far mixing the informative and the light-hearted quite well.

However, there seems to be a bit of a problem with the blogroll, as there’s one spam blog in it and another that hasn’t been updated since July of last year.

Apart from that, I’m more than happy to plop them on The Tinbasher’s blogroll.

Good job!

If you’re interested in purchasing a sheet metal fabrication shop or something similar then you can visit the fabrication businesses for sale page that I’ve just set up.

Jimmy Wilson from Businesses for Sale has been kind enough to send me the relevant rss feed for me to implement on The Tinbasher.

There are sheet metal fabrication businesses from all over the world for sale and I sincerely hope those of you looking to purchase one find it useful.

Can you believe that L.A. is getting all warm and fuzzy over their changing metal skyline?

I don’t know whether it’s just me, but I kinda get the sense it was written whilst waiting for the microwave to ping or after a night out on the brass razoo.

Then again, we can’t complain if sheet metal is suddenly ‘trendy’.

Matthew 24:29-34
[T]he sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. . . . They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. . . . I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

Woody 24:13-30
And you shall know the time of his coming, for he shall be seen in all manner of dubious ebay scams.

You find an oil stain on a sheetmetal sheet and, even though it bears more of a passing resemblance to Rocky after he’d just had seven bells of poop knocked out of him, you claim it’s Jesus then flog it on ebay for a mere $1,575.00

As Thomas Haley, the guy who found the sheet in the hardware store that he works at says, “I feel kind of bad just pawning off Christ.”

Hmmmmm, I wonder if he feels any worse now it’s been sold or that it didn’t quite make its buy-it-now price of $10,000.

Anyway, if you just so happen to be one of those goons that like to find the image of Christ in anything from a cheeseburger to a pus-filled goiter, and would love to spend over a grand on very own lump of sheet metal with some bizarre stain on it that you believe is Jesus, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

We can churn these buggers out ten a penny.

We can also do Allah, Vishnu, Buddha, most Disney characters and every American president bar Gerald Ford.
