Hello everyone,
Bill from Benchmark Barrels here.
To clarify things, Chris R. has started his own business and moved on as of March 11, 2016. All of us at Benchmark wish him the best in his new endeavor!! We're still here building barrels and plan to be for a long time. Unfortunately, we don't have the resources to monitor the forums right now, so there won't be any further response from us here.
Thanks for understanding and call us at the shop if you have any questions.
Regards,
Bill Broderick
