last week of February

I've been still very busy in the shop. Today we shipped out 6 packages, 3 in the midwest here, 2 to the east coast, and 1 to Ontario, Canada.

I still haven't been taking any new orders, and have let my Ebay auctions run out until I'm completely caught up. Not to mention I haven't really been with my family for the last 6 months. After the season is over I will be fully updating my website with current pictures, and pricing.

We had our first Romania missions trip meeting yesterday, and put my deposit in, locking my place on the trip. I'm looking forward to seeing Europe and more importantly serving the Lord. Please pray for us and the trip, that God will be glorified through it.

Long time no post....

Well its been a long....lets see. The last time I posted was the 4th it looks like. I've been running myself ragged trying to keep up. My employer called us all back to work full time last week, and since then I've been burning my candle at both ends. I've been working 15 hour day quite consistantly lately between work and working in my shop. Orders have been coming in, and still shipping out every day.That being said, I'll be temporarily holding off on taking any more orders until I get caught up.

My shop, home away from home....

Well I can't find the memory stick for my camera or I would have taken some pictures today. I put another long day in today, between the shop time and office time 12 hours. I have quite the stack for my polishers to get moving on. So for tomorrow we should have at least 8 pans shipping out.  My father in law got me some BIG boxes which was huge for me. I was getting down to the last of the boxes I had. I'm going to cut out early, 5ish) tomorrow night and take the family out to eat. I've been pretty much absent for the last month and am looking forward to spending time with them.  If I find that memory stick, pictures WILL be on here soon.

Monday 14hr day

No pics today, but have made some good progress today. Finished a custom bottling tank for Karl, formed and welded some pans. I started @ 7:30 this morning and decided to call it quits at 9:30 this evening. I'm thankful for all the help I've been getting lately. At this pace I will hopefully be caught up with all orders up to today. I'm excited. One dissappointing thing today though. I ordered some more metal and found out I won't have it for over a week. ARGHHH!!!  I have some back up 22ga 2b (mill finish) that I will have to use until I get some more bright annealed in. I'm glad I bought those 6 extra sheets. I have to get taxes done in the morning and then its back in the shop for the rest of the day.

I will try to take some pictures of the progress tomorrow.
