Sometimes timing is everything!
One could look and say that I (Tmax and I) copied Stewart on the Chrome wire holder. In actuality, we had been discussing it and in process for the first run in production when we saw similar on eBay (Think it was SRS) on eBay. Had it not been that I would have pulled it, but since it was done and shipping made it competitive for me, we kept at it.
As dumb luck would have it, Brent came up with his but in a different design at about the same time too.
Now I didn't have any fore knowledge of either before entering into it. But they say competition is good for the market. And ya know what, I support Brent by buying from him and have been looking at some of the stuff for my wish list from England and Australia too!
