I don't know if you ever get to Greensboro, but if you do, Mike can fix just about anything.

Thanks for the pitch Brian (sarcasm there)....Not to toot my own horn, but I do a good rivet job. If you go to the Greensboro Ice house and ask for Shaughn to do them, ill take care of you. Mike is good for sewing and non-skate related repair. Ive seen a good number of his rivet jobs come my way looking to be fixed again. He does do good equipment repair though (dont want to bash too hard here)

Check your PM, Shaughn.

Well, luckily I was down at the beach at my grandparents house for the 4th (Myrtle) and decided to take the treck down to Charleston, SC to see Brandon (Lbknight). Very nice facility his pro shop is in, and the shop is HUGE. Nothing but positive things to say about Brandon, an extremely nice guy. Got to see a pneumatic rivet machine for the first time (that was really cool, since we only use the hand crank machine), and bought an ST from him. Even gave me the rivet job for free (which was perfect, by the way) since I traveled 2.5 hrs to see him. If you in the area, go make a visit to his shop. You wont regret it! I will be frequenting that shop now when I come down. Thanks again Brandon!

Pneumatic riveters are fun.

Thanks Brandon for extending a nice welcome to a MSHer.

I never knew they made a riveter than ran on compressed air. I wish we had one at the shop. Its rough balancing the rivting pin (not sure what its called) on the rivet with one hand.

Thanks again Brandon.

No problem, I'm glad that I could help out. Thanks for the nice things that you had to say. Who woulda thought that there'd be a shop that big all the way down south in Charleston? Make sure you send all of your buddies my way! ;)

They are too freakin' noisy with the compressor going full blast! I'll take a standard riveter any day of the week. I miss my old riveter from the other shop. It was so easy to use and control was a snap.

Not when its in the back room like Brandon's was. Barely heard it in the shop itself.

Noisy yes but you can go so much faster with two free hands. Although I do jump everytime someone comes up behind me cause I can't hear them coming.
