The project continues

Crappy weather and too many hours at work but I got to spend a few hours today on the trapdoor.
Even my fun is work

Don't worry mine too , but least we don't do it for a living  

 

[Muley Hunter]

I think Archie could do it for a living.

 

[Spitfire1]

Pete if you turn your hobby into work it is a hobby no more.

 

[Muley Hunter]

I know i've tried it with a few things.

I'm just saying his work is good enough to get paid for it.

 

[Spitfire1]

Funny enough most people will want something but don't want to pay what it is worth.....my experience with doing things we are good at  :scratch:

 

[Muley Hunter]

Lots of money in the world now Spit. Lots of guys are building guns and bamboo rods in their garage one at a time, and getting good money for them.

Quality will always sell.

Thanks for the compliment, reality is I'm not fast enough or skilled enough to do it for a living and not sure I want to turn my labor of love into just labor.  I could see building at my leisure and then selling what I build but that would be like selling my kids.  Then to build to another persons specifications would be difficult, I start with an idea of what a gun will look like but it changes as the project progresses almost taking on a life of its own.  Maybe some day......

Now waiting for some parts from TOW, buttplate, wedge pins, underlug staples and a few other odds and end.  I will be pouring/installing a pewter nose cap and all steel parts will be browned.

 But now I am forced to return to work    so I'm not sure when the work will continue.
