Happy Labor Day!!
--
So, just wanted to give everyone an update on me. I've been dark for a few months, due to another job change, financial struggles, and multiple catastrophes with our house. Several bad water leaks that required weeks of care to prevent bad damage, but hopefully those issues are laid to rest for a bit. One of the main problems with this was having to constantly fill the shop up with stuff from the house to allow drying.

As far as my job goes, I spent 2.5 months running sales for a pool company, but because the leads provided were such garbage, I ran TaskRabbit for about two months to catch up, in addition to my new job, which I'm really liking. It was a solid 7 days/week schedule for probably two months to stay caught up on bills, but I'm in the clear now.

I've spoken to several of you on the phone, and more through DMs, but for those of you that I haven't spoken with, believe me when I say that I'm not living the bum life, nor am I making a getaway with anyone's items or hard-earned cash.

With the current orders I have, those will be finished as I'm able, and my true goal is to have every last knife and customization for everyone done by Christmas. I've historically set unrealistic timelines, and I'm finished doing that.
--
Today, I'm doing some major shop cleanup, and as you can tell from the picture, it doesn't look that bad, but it needs a lot of cleaning, putting stuff away, and figuring out what tooling I need to finish all my work. Feel free to reach out to me via DM, but I'm finally at a point where I can truly focus on my work and finish my orders, one or two at a time.

Hope everyone has enjoyed the summer, and if you're anywhere near the eastern seaboard, please stay safe.
