Backplates

A sad day indeed.

But before they go - have you got any of the last batch left? If you have,
stick my name on one and I'll pick it up at Icebreakers.

Wow! A "first edition" Combro plate! A collector's item or what?

Hello Woz here. In the metal bashing (well actually casting and
turning) trade so backplates are right up our alley. Combro plate is
an excellent bit of kit and well regarded so it's a shame to see its
demise. Still- WozPlates are nice and shiny and real 316 marine grade
stuff not the cutlery grade rot-u-like stainless that quite a few
'cheap' backplates are being made from these days.

Hope to do business with you guys soon. I've made a load of Woz style
ones and they have gone down very well, especially the 5mm thick ones
which you can park your car on top of.

PS- if you mention ukrs in your order I'll chuck in a nice shiny
stainless boltsnapwith it for the next 6 months. How about that
then....
