im thinking about just widening my bbs’s instead of selling them, and ive seen a few places online that advertise this service. so far im looking at at curbed.ca does anyone have any insights into this process? what it costs, how wide i can go, quality of work… anything. otherwise ill just buy the barrels online and do it myself, marry christmas ciaran. ---
