I'm prepared to believe that you are an honest fellow, a fine craftsman and that all these complaints were due to a failure to communicate, but I think that your expectation that you would find "10 to 12 clients willing to prepay", is wildly optimistic.

Norme,

Well there is some truth in your words.
When you deal with people it's hard to stay on everyone's good side.

out of 500+ projects i have done over the years. I see 3 or 4 bad feedback, of people that are tired of waiting.

I can understand them.

But i address all that in my previous posts.

On the other side. If i do not take a down payment from YOU,

Are you willing to pay $17K for a complete project that is ready to go ?

If the answer is you do not care for it one way or the other....

Then it means you are just not interested all together.

Bad rep goes two ways .... if i had a client that was tired of waiting , that was happy with he end product...
But for some reason decided that bad rep is worth posting, but a good result is not so much.
Guess what next project from that client will have to go somewhere else .. as i as meany of us , do not need an extra aggravation in life.

If you try to do a good job and put an extra effort, and all you get is... oh it's taking you too long ... well no appreciation = no desire to do the job anymore.

And believe me the restoration business is not a money making machine , so as the 45 ACP project.

I do have all the tools i need and all the money i need to make one for myself , and may be that's what i will do... if i do not get the client base needed for small batch.

Like i sad before , constructive skeptical comments are welcome, judgmental calls i can do myself all day long.

Thanks.
