New SOBA Bolo Liner!!

"I’m very stoked to share my new @workhorseirons production model with you all! The one piece BOLO machine is now available!!
🔥
I combined the geometry of my Bolo braze-up. Streamlined it. The machine shop at Workhorse NAILED it!
💚
These will come standard as you see here. Swing gate tube vise for all the tubes. The textured eggshell finish is the color of Irish tea and is complimented by polished up phenolics, olive green gaffers and brass hardware.
🔥
These are finely tuned. With no load most of them run in the 140hz range. At 6 volts you will get smooth medium to fine lines- think 05 and 08 microns. At 7.5 they will bury a straight 9- think brand new sharpie."
