Have you ever done any fishing in China Duncan? That is if you can find a stream / river that is capable of supporting fish?

that's it....now were going to see some young Chinese girl as you fishing guide.

A lot of fishing is done in the rivers in the towns. The style and type is similar to Europe with match rods being used for Coarse fishing. There is a tackle shop just down the road from a hotel i stay in that has a very good selection of rods if you are into this type of fishing. I personally prefer to fish a fly so it is not really my cup of tea. During the weekends and in the evenings you can find any number of people fishing from the banks through out the city including right Downtown. As to what they are fishing for that is another thing entirely.
as for a young lady for a guide well i am not sure we want to get into the storys of the young ladys in Shanghai but here is a picture just for a Teaser. I am not sure the rest of the story is apropriate for a open forum so it is best to just leave this to the imagination.

Those guys copying CK?

Those guys copying CK?

They are actually a Italian subsiduary company , The lady who owns this operation is actually married to a Italian and she spends her time between Shanghai and some small town in The Northern party of Italy. She does tell me that after a few weeks in Italy she does miss the excitment and bustle of Shanghai .

This particular Company does a lot of OEM work with not only Tig Torches but they also supply major brands with Plasma torches.
I actually mentioned CK to them and they had never heard of them but did seem interested in knowing more . But i suppose it is not really surprising for them to have not heard of a small company in the U.S
.
This is a second reply as my first ended up editing The original post. I guse that can happen when some one gives moderator status what ever that is.

I'm not sure if anybody has said this yet but the way everlast does their business and the transparancy of the process is very assuring. It makes for a better buying experience and feels like a collaboration more than a brick and mortar corporate entitie. One of the reasons why I chose to buy Everlast. It feels like I'm a part of the process.

It's great to see Duncan "enjoying" China. If it was me I'd love to be going and seeing the sites and stuff. Yeah you're there for business and stuff but it looks like my kind of fun too. I like to travel and see new places and things. You're a lucky guy Duncan being able to go, even if you'd rather be fishing. lol

I would also like to see the sites but unfortunately i have very little time for going to places i want to actually see. There are a few places one being the floating Mountains ever since the Movie Avatar came out i have wanted to visit this area to see them. I have a standing invitation to visit some guys from Mongolia that would be interesting . Instead i am stuck at the factory working most days. Don't really enjoy it that much.
Having said that i am leaving on the third of jan and will be in shanghai on the following afternoon and will be visiting a Old City Yangzhou ( it is well known for the gardens in the old compounds from the salt trade days ) to look at some fishing tackle . In fact Saturday so i will spend the day on Sunday poking around before heading back late sunday for work on monday morning.
Got lots to do this trip ,
Cheers

Just had a very pleasant conference call with Duncan and owner of the factory. All around good news for EVERLAST for 2013

Thank you, it looks great.

One thing worth pointing out is that the units have a separate duty cycle and O.C. light now, instead of the dual color LED which was at best confusing as to what had happened. This should aid in unit diagnosis.

Duncan & Everlast

I like the way you have put the controls in groups and in their own colors easy to see. Now the big Decision do I get the 2013 255EXT or 250EX.

255 EXT, why not just drop the extra cash.

[agent4573]

I really liked the color coordinated controls as well. I think I'm trading away my little 110 volt mig box later this week for a sand rail frame, so I may be in the market for another welder in a month or two.

[Mike J]

I would be prudent and wait until both the 255EXT is available and out there being used for a while before I would move on it.
