Hello all,

Not on this side very often, tipped off I should visit and try and clear up a few things.

First off, my apology if I have angered or offended anyone with my lack of contact. I am sorry !

Now my explanation, and no one has to accept it, obviously, but here it is.

From the start I was overwhelmed with orders and questions, it quickly got out of hand and each step I took to improve the situation really only made things worse.

Between 2009 till 19 I received on hotmail and gmail combined nearly five thousand emails, at times I would have maybe four hundred or so waiting and I would set down and maybe answer 30-50, some of those would trigger another immediate email to me. I reached the point that I could either cut wood or type, so I cut wood.
My mistake was not simply stating this at the time. Sorry again.
My plan, when the website expires I will end that, pointless to continue as I do not have the time to update or maintain it. I will maintain the vendor section here on the forum and will soon clean that up.

Any repair work I currently have on hand will be completed but I will not be doing any of that in the future, its interesting but a huge time drain and that is time away from making grips which is what I want to be doing.

I will work through orders on hand and do actually hope to get that done before wrapping it up in 3-4 years.

And I will point out that I am a very small producer and I do not intend to change that. It is sometimes pointed out to me that there is a faster way !
I am fully aware of that having spent nearly 30 years in manufacturing, the last five running CNC equipment, literally the most boring work I could possibly imagine.

I like working with my hands, and will continue that way.

Thanks for reading, and again my apologies.

Hope and prayers for everyone's health in the coming months
