Some Of My Latest Work

[renegadelizard]

Thats sad very sad indeed .I am sitting here waiting on call to make a delivery . Work has been done for a week and the buyer is a putz so I am waiting to be payed . If that fool dont get his act together Ill sell it to some one else and he can wait a month or so till I feel like making it again . I am getting real sick of the song and dance . I used to like this now its a business and I want the money so I have to perform . Tired of being the dancing monkey doing a jig for pennies . I have maybe 5 years left before I cant do this any more . I have threatened to walk away many times and I must say I am looking forward to my last day at the bench . I was under the delusion that if you got really good things got a lot better . You just gave me a big reality check with your words . Thank You ! If its still tuff when doing your quality of work perhaps I should see about food stamps as it appears my future is a bit dark . My work is a long way from yours . I am grateful for your response and your honesty it will change my direction for sure . Bill

Dont change your direction..change your policies...anyone but my closest friends and co workers pays before i even cut the leather...this simple step will make you feel a ton better and get you to your bench with pep in your step instead of that feeling of "got to"...give it a shot and see..

I cant stand being obligated by having money up front . Most of the time I make what I please and then go sell it ,there is always a fall back position so what ever I made sells . This is not one of my regular customers so some rough spots are expected . Here being nice is a sign of weakness. You either keep your word or the deal is off and any money payed in advance is forfit . No exceptions . Its one of those days when the shop is in way too big of a mess things arent working and if there was money and a place to go I would run away from home . Way to much of everything today . Thanks for the advise ! I am at the bench 15 hrs a day most days time for time away from that . Bill

I like the designs and their simplicity and i can image that they function as well as they look. I have allways believed in form should follow function. I have made a few holsters and have attempted to dress them up with carving and conchos, but I am allways drawn back to the individual design aspect. I think that is what keeps me going in this buisness. (not getting rich) I guess all any of us can do is to continue to inprove on our products in hopes that we will hit on a signature look that others will like. Keep up the good work and I look foreward to seeing more of Your Work.
