Franklin;
You have outlined an excellent procedure below. Since the customer has paid
for the tooling, he owns it.
I have one question.
If a customer comes to you with tooling in hand from another fabricator,
would you use it? (It might have been in the trunk of his car over the
weekend or longer.)
