Hey Everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know, that has been patiently waiting, that I have finally finished all of my projects at the new place and new shop. It was a long spring of doing projects around the house! Now that all of these things are out of the way, and life is nolonger interfering with work, I am getting stuff done. Anyone that is waiting for a repair, and the handful of float rods I have been working on will get finished this coming week. Thanks for your patience, and I hope they all turn out better than you expected!

Finally getting to pics of my last project. Hope to get a few more projects done very soon!
