[RE-wrenches] Plaques

[Kirpal Khalsa]

Lou. .
We got the Express engraver.  All in it was around 5 grand.
We were spending over $ 1500 per year ar our local trophy engraving store
plus coordinating and they would go on vacation right when we needed
placards.  For us it made sense to bring this process in house.
