Well, I made the decision to go back to Stainless Steel corner gussets, not because of strength, the cost of aluminum is absolutely astronomical right now and the difference between a big batch in aluminum vs Stainless is so minimal I just told my supplier to Laser cut the next batch in Stainless. So we have enough left of the aluminum for the next 3 hazers we build and after that, the gussets will be Stainless again. I can also say that I had my last batch laser cut about 5 months ago, and this new batch I had cut was the same quantity as last time and the price has gone up $200 dollars more. So for any of the nay sayers out there who think my hazers are too much money, i'll gladly show you how much the materials are just to build one hazer, and you can see what my profit is in the very end, what I actually get to put in my pocket and I guarantee you, no one will decide to get into building hazers for the money!!! Yes, this is my source of income, but if my wife didnt have a great job, I would not be building these to survive on, because I'd be a homeless hungry and broke man real fast. I build these because I am a welder and fabricator by trade, 35 years its all I know, this is artwork for me, its not a means of survival at all. Its a hobby for me more than anything else. I build these for all of you guys more than I do it for me, I think it shows in every single hazer we produce, its a labor of love. 413 and son!
