Bawana,
thanks for the reply. I know a local guy but the prices are very high. Mudhole doesn't have Lami blanks anymore as far as I can tell. They used to sell Lami blems but I don't see them anymore either.

Bawana, thanks for the contacts. I bulit the 963m a couple years ago and I recall that being around 60$. Last price I saw locally for the 1083M was about 100$. With the shipping these days it may come to that anyway. Thanks again.

I got them in the shop but we have stopped shipping blanks because of the breakage.Seems that Fedex and UPS like to break blanks even shipped in 1-1/2" PVC.

I think I'll hang on to it. I will end up with a rod for every plug at the rate I'm going

Yeah

I built one this year.

And fedex snapped the dam thang.

I gave the guy a piece of my mind the next time he showed up at my door.

Luckily it was just about a inch of the tip if that much so it was that big a deal.
