First of all, I would like to thank you all for your feedback!
Second of all... I LMAO at Hilltop's response to IHNick!!! I have to agree that I'd like to see that too!!!
According to the mfg, I'm going to have to buy material to build six to ten of the box blades. Four have been spoken for. The prototype will be ready in about ten business days. We will make any design adjustments at that point.
I intend to keep the appearance of the box blade as close to the original #40 as possible. But it will definitely be a heavier/beefier version. I'm ready to put it to work and see what the Cubs are capable of doing! I truly hope that it performs 10x better than what is available today.
Will post pics of the process soon!
