Gene,

yes i would be interested in a folding steel rule, if you are thinking of
being a clearing house for the purchase please let me know. don't know what
you would need for a minimum order but i would definitly be interested in a
three footer and also maybe a six. keep me posted and i will be glad to
send a check so you know i am serious.

i know they sound expensive, and i spose in reality they are, but for
measuring hot metal what are the alternatives. i have a 2 foot folder that
is used many times a day, and a very old 6 footer that is a real pain to
read. to me they are worth the price and a tool every blacksmith needs.

thanks,
