I have a Mini-T on order at Shepherd Hill that was supposed to be in stock there in March. Now here it is May. There's no point in searching the web for it because no one else has it either. It may be an SFO. ::shrug::

Turn 'em loose. Let 'em make knives. I don't wait well. ::pace::
Case was supposed to re-start production yesterday, May 11th. One of the employees posted that last week on the CCC Forum. Said the “fab” side would open first and the “finishing” side a few days later.

Thanks Ken. It's still going to take a while.

I just read that the Governor of Pennsylvania just shut down the state again. Will this affect the GEC factory?

So far the closures are for restaurants, bars, gyms, and any business that serve the public. Private companies that don't have public interaction are still open. (At least for now)
