Thank you for making us who we are today. TheSheetmetalShop.com is for you! Please feel free to discuss sheet metal topics and events here.
Rules are few, but necessary. Absolutely No Commercial Advertising products on the forums. No advertising other forums or blogs. There is no self promotion allowed unless you're a regular and contributes to the forums. If you are a contributor and help the industry, please feel free to add your signature to your post.We do offer banner space for those who wish to advertise their businesses.
No bad mouthing manufacturers. It's too easy to blame and not consider other possibilities. No name calling: (If there is a problem and you're looking for help..the floor is all yours... Please do so with respect.) An example - Telling them they s**k eggs is not respect...telling others that the equipment is a piece of S**t with no factual reason behind it does not increase the value of the post or forums.
No manufacturer reps will be allowed to sell or promote their products on the forums. If you're a manufacture (rep) that contributes to and helps the industry, shows product support, you may include your business contact info in your post / signature as well as be listed in our buyers guide.
Please keep all sales on either the classifieds (free) or the buyers guide (free).
