Oh my gawd, oh my gawd, oh my gawd!!! I found one! A misspelled word!! Put there (on OUR website) by Mr. Chris Sypolt. Mr. Chris “super particular, resident grammar freak, spelling perfectionist” Sypolt.

According to him, we are now selling
“C101 Oxygen Free Eelectronic Copper.”
It’s been there for months…no YEARS! But I found it! Ha HA!!!!

TAKE THAT SYPOLT!

Just in case he’s read this before you have…here’s proof.

Oh, it’s beautiful. He ALWAYS catches us…but I’ve caught him! Bwahahahahahahaha!!! Life is good.

I can go to San Fran happy now.

See you at MakerFaire.

WOOO HOOO!!! It’s MakerFaire time again, and we’re pumped!

Come join us this weekend, in San Mateo, CA for MakerFaire.

Every once in a while, we take an order for a bunch of identical pieces of stainless sheet. We can tell by the specific size and shape, that they’re building a fuel cell for their car. We love the concept, and were seriously excited to hear from our friends at Transitional Technologies, LLC who build and sell HHO kits, components, installation kits, and more…using OLM materials. Here’s an e-mail from the CEO:

Dear OnlineMetals,

We make and sell small hydrogen generators for cars. The plate stacks are made using 316 Stainless we buy from you. After they are drilled and prepped, we assemble them into our special containers and everything is sealed up tightly, checked for leaks.

The first picture is the plate stack.

The second shows how the unit looks hooked up and being checked for any leaks before being sent to the customer.

Once filled with electrolyte, and hooked up to the engine’s air intake, the hydrogen generators electrolyze the hydrogen and oxygen out of the water which gets mixed in with the air/fuel of the car’s engine. The hydrogen makes the gas burn more efficiently and oxygen helps combustion process. Most cars get an average of 20-40% increase in mileage and emissions drop because they are burned more thoroughly with the hybrid fuel.

We now build and sell these around the world and sales continue to grow every month.

Online Metals gives the best overall price even with the cut fees, and their service is fantastic- product is always shipped out within a few days of ordering and it allows us to keep up with our JIT manufacturing schedules.

Thanks OnlineMetals!

OK, so I didn’t know I was doing it, but still!!!

It’s my job as the Marketing Director to give you accurate pictures of each and every product, and when it comes to Polycarbonate Plate, I FAILED YOU!!! I had the clear poly sheet photo listed on the Machinable Polycarbonate Page!
WHAT was I thinking!?!
That’s almost a fireable offense!
Tuesday’s food fight was OK…but this is just unacceptable. Anyway,

WRONG: Clear Poly (…and my thumb.)

RIGHT: Machinable Plate (no thumb.)

Yeah, it’s fixed now, but I feel that I still owe you an apology. It will NEVER EVER EVER happen again.
…I think.
…not sure.
…but I’ll do my bestest.

In the mean time, buy some stuff, and have a great weekend!!!

Happy Friday,
Amber
Marketing Director!

Short & sweet.  …and SO AWESOME TO HEAR!!!

“WOW!! Great products, great service, great communication, great care in packaging — I’ve found a terrific supplier!! Many thanks. Ron”

No, thank YOU Ron, you ROCK!

Stuart wrote in this morning to talk about his experience with our website:

“I just wanted to swing you folks a line to say thanks for a great website. I use it all the time for both business and personal reasons, at work and home respectively of course…

But I work in the DOD supply field, where all my customers and vendors are still using and designing their websites for, IE6, while I prefer faster open source alternatives such as Google Chrome. And while most of their websites render well enough you can just tell when something doesn’t render exactly right. Your website on the other hand renders exactly the same in chrome, ie6, firefox, and safari, no matter what operating system I’m on, be it XP, OS X, or Ubuntu. So thanks for taking the time and resources to create a great cross browser and cross platform website.

I will continue to use, enjoy, and purchase from your website.

Thanks,
Stuart “

As soon as I saw this, I knew it should be on the blog.  As a thank you to Stuart for writing in and being an OLM customer, and also as thanks to our IT demi-god, Chris, for working so hard to keep our site user friendly.

It’s a pleasure to be one of the people who shares ideas with Chris…and then gets to watch as he makes those ideas a reality.

Stuart, thanks again. There’s a lot more on the horizon, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
