You're doing a great job and I know it requires a lot more work than it looks. Thanks for the updates.

I tried to post on your blog, but it kept telling me to prove I am not a robot.........................

I think the burden should be on YOU to prove that I am a robot!!!

anyways, great job. you are a determined individual. I would buy the same gun with the same intentions, but it would sit in my safe for years, maybe forever. i'm excited for you, looks like it'll be pretty awesome in the end

There is an old word that a guy I knew used sometimes; "marvelous".

You do marvelous work!

Very nice work, a job well done; done with a true professional finish instead of some spray and bake paint crap.

I tip my hat to you sir.

Best Regards

People definitely got what they paid for, very nice.

I just wanted to say thanks for the words of encouragement. Learning these skills have not been easy and I sometimes need some "ego-stroking" to keep going.

When I finally stopped staring at that sand-blasted top-strap and barrel picture I noticed 23 mins had passed. That is some nice work!!

Have you considered going into business? I would bet you could give Turnbull a run for his money.

There are people out there who will pay handsomely for that kind of work.

 

[Huffmanite]

Kinda an older post and not much I can say that hasn't already been said before......so, let me just say....Darn good work.
