Just an update as i have not been able to lately.
Im still layed up a bit, actually scheduled for some surgery next Friday. Im still trying to squeeze in an hour or two in the shop in the mornings (hence the surgery. lol) to finish the work I have here. Im still not taking in new work just yet but feel free to call if you have questions or need some future work down the road.
I am not always in the shop but if you leave me a message i will get back with you.

Thanks again for your patience.

A nice quiet morning in the shop today removing wood putty from a 200+ year old muzzle loader stock. This rifle has a George Coulcher lock and a Haberlig barrel made in Reading Pennsylvania. 45 caliber, converted to percussion at some point, and has been over the mountain as they say.
This is more of a restoration/conservation so wood putty is not going to cut it.

Shop update.
Just a quick update. Doctors still want me non weight bearing as much as possible but I am improving slowly.
I am currently trying to get some shop time in with a couple hours each morning trying to catch up. (I will continue to check messages if you need to get in touch.)
I will not be taking in any new work right now until we get this figured out, but I will be working on finishing fi****ms already in the shop. I will continue to provide Transfers.

If you know how much I love old, unique fi****ms then you realize how difficult it is for me to turn down a chance to work on yours. lol

To those customers with work already here, I am sorry this is taking longer than it should, but I am still going to be finishing these up for you.

I am not sure where my medical issues are going to lead me for the future. I may cut back on the number of fi****ms I take in and start a list for when I have an opening for a job. Just not sure yet.

For a part time job after retirement, I have been blessed with lots of work, awesome customers and the chance to handle some genuine pieces of history. I can't thank you guys enough.

One day at a time....

As some of you know, i have been dealing with some medical issues this past year or so and they just dont seem to end. Unfortunately i will be closed until the 28th of April when im hoping to reopen if the docs release me.
Sitting still is not my strong suite.
I will be monitoring messages to the shop so feel free to touch base if you need too.

Thank you for your patience.
