Doks gun will ship Tuesday, I have 3 done and away. 7 more in house in this order.

1. TA 2.FM 3.MC 4.EB 5.TN 6.SL 7.RK I am considering talking to my boss at work and seeing if I can switch to 36 hours (M-T) and doing the Luger work full time on Friday! That will help I think! Ted

I don't know what you make at your real job - but frankly, you may find that re-working Lugers more then pays for itself. I can only speak for myself - but I've been reluctant to ask you to do my mis-match, or even do the side-plate on another Luger - as I know you are backlogged. With the extra time on Fridays - I suspect you'd be able to turn out more - which selfisly for me, is great news!!!

Further - based on the pics of DOKs and others, you deserve all the kudos and rewards your Luger work provides. Personally - I'm in awe of your level of professionalism and craftmanship...

Let us know what you decide to do, OK??

Well, John, I have asked the "other boss" and she wants to consider it before I go break the news at work! I have finally reach a level of work I am happy with and now I want to produce more or that work! I just wasnt ready yet, I know have the business License and FFL out of the way. All my clients and all the nice compliments make me want to do more! I think I am at a cross roads, I hope I dont think about it too long, I may get run over!

for the "other boss" is that I imagine that most of your evenings are spent in your workshop rather then with her. I know when I was doing Colt O-Frames, my schedule was that I'd come home from work - head to the workshop - then come up for a bite - than back down to the workshop until 11PM or so..

I imagine that your schedule is pretty similiar? Anyway - with more "daylight" to spend at working with Lugers - I can only imagine that your "nitelife" would become more balanced in your "other boss's" favor..

Just MHO...

That was precisely my thinking! I pressed that point too, lets see if it worked!

Rick K · 05-11-2001, 05:48 PM

'cause if your getting better with each one, then it stands to reason mine will be the best yet!
