I'm sorry I didn't see that.

Chuck,

Yes, it's another session of "Peephole's Court" catering to the voyeur in each of us. :-)

Too funny. Thanks for the laugh.

If you saw my most recent post, of last evening, in the "Watch Your Fingers" thread, you know that the new build of the DK20S reflects the necessary design change, which brings it in line with other presses in its class, making it free-of-risk to hand injury.

I have no idea how many presses, of the previous build, are in circulation, but be aware of the differences between the two.

If you own (or buy) one of the previous builds, especially if you have employees, I'd suggest taking it upon yourself to not only make specific mention of the fact that it's necessary to operate the press with hands at the "outside" reaches of the foam grips, but to use some form of safety labeling as a reminder.

I "assume" you have/will send Aaron a message thanking him for the changes and listening to his customers....

Steve,

Your assumptions are correct. It was the first thing I did, after posting to the "Watch Your Fingers" thread.

Here's a copy:

Hi Aaron,

I visited Coast Graphic Supply today and saw a fresh-out-of-the-box DK20S.

To my delight, I see the adjustment to the handlebar was made and now ample clearance between the handlebar and upper housing exists.

I commend you for being a man of your word and for taking this issue seriously. Honesty, integrity and business ethics are important to me. I'm happy to see you're a proponent of the same.

I don't know if you remember our brief meeting at the NBM show in Long Beach, two or three years ago. I was in the hotel, next to the Convention Center, when I noticed Paul Whitehill, (no doubt, our mutual friend) yourself and another person walk in.

We were introduced, but didn't really talk to one another.

If you don't remember that occasion, I'll make a point of introducing myself, next time you're exhibiting at a show that I attend.

I occasionally find myself as a presenter, at industry events, and I've highlighted your products in the past. I'll continue to do so, if the occasion arises again.

All the best,
David

David,

I always knew you were a true gentleman! A PITA to some vendors at times, but a true gentleman! :-)

Steve,

I would just as soon lead a totally peaceful existence. The knock-down, drag-out threads take an emotional toll on me.

I hope it's a long time before we experience another.
