The "Sweat Shop" is being relocated to Phoenix, AZ. A huge thank you to Ted Waypa 66-69 for taking this on and an even huger thank you and a Bravo Zulu to Bill Christensen 75-79 for his run as Sweat Shop manager. I couldn't have built it without you! Give us a few days to ship, inventory and your shop will be open again with some new merchandise!
