Great news , guys!!!

I got an email from Ed Tinker yesterday - About Ed's carbine; Eugene says he will 'get it rolling' next week!!! :)

Wow!!! It won't be long now!!! :cheers:

I'm so excited, I'm hiccuping!!! :p

I wish the you both the best and I hope you have it soon! They are just so SWEET! Eric~

Sorry, I meant Ed and Eugene although I know I owe you many Thanks~~

Any news Ed?

yes. He has all the pieces together, it looks good, but he has to blue it....

only 2.5 yrs for mine....

Same amount of time it took George Luger to design his masterpiece. Question is: will it work?

But that's great news!!! :thumbup:

Not about the carbine...but that Ed hasn't been charged with Eugene's murder!!! :cheers:




















...Yet... :soapbox:

They built complete airports and cities in less than 2.5 years ;)

Ed's patience during this build is very good. Eugene deserves the name 'captain Slow' :)

I would ask him for a few photos of his progress to date. Even kidnapers will send a picture that your victims' status and is alive with some progress!! Ed you have the patience of a saint. I pray its not St. Jude. The patron saint of 'lost causes' ~ Eric

I hope it's not just another "next week" promises.

We all care about you Ed. You are our family and a great friend. Our only concern is your happiness not matter how long it takes. Your carbine will be the cream of your collection. He does good work from what I've seen. I'm sure you are doing your best and so must he! I think all of us should lay off for a while and let things occur at their own pace as they will. We don't need updates except an update that its done I love mine and so will you.! Perfection is always worth the wait. At this length of time it better be perfect. Maybe we can start a raffle for a due date! My third grandchild expected in July. Just let us know when your pretty carbine arrives so we can finally put an end to all our wait! I hope it arrives sooner and not later! Ed you are a saint!and good friend for over ten years. Tks Eric

Jack and Eric

I am hoping soon, as I am more than anxious :)

Wow! That is going to look pretty darn nice when said and done. That forearm fits and looks good with the staining. I cant wait to see it when its done.

i am hoping very soon...

did anyone get their carbines before me?

You know Ed, this has the makings of a good book, you could illustrate it with the photos, describe your increasing frustration, and, hopefully, it would have a happy ending. You could title it "Waiting for Eugene".
Best regards, Norm

Edward

Really I cant wait to see it when its done, I'm sure it'll look like a piece of art.

If the happy ending is Eugene's trial, I'll buy a copy! :D

I even volunteer to serve on the jury! ;)
