Terry Walters Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I was just about to throw away an umbrella that had been wrecked by the wind when I noticed that the framework was actually made of carbon rods! Out came the Dremel disc cutter and...result - a nice supply of carbon rods now safely in stock! Check your umbrellas! Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
