FYI, I am just going down my list as people placed their orders with me. I am doing smaller batches since I can't spend as much time in front of the lathe as I used to do. So I will contact people and ship as they are ready. Not going to post a lot of pics until I get caught up. Then I will post them all over on the pic thread.

FYI, was told this morning I start back shift this Thursday night. So after next week, my first 7 day break....YAH! Really hope to knock them all out by then. If not, it will be damn close. Learned the hard way not to make promise dates as life has doled out my fair share of circumstances to delay things.

I don't think anyone is pressuring you to get everything done yesterday :).. All in good time. Get yourself up to speed first. Once you're able and fit, then we can all bug you![emoji1]

It has never been about pressure from all my friends/customers. It's simply something I do to myself. Personally I loathe having to make people wait and even more so the fact I can do little about it. So every chance I get to make up time, I do. Not the first person ever rushed me and I am very grateful to everyone's patience and understanding. I am just not the type of person who can truly relax until I know everyone is taken care of properly. This weekend was a big success towards accomplishing my goals. Though after I get caught up, I still have three other major projects to complete. Sooo many pies, not enough fingers...LOL.

But, at least it makes it easier knowing you're doing what you can do, and don't have the added pressure of customers breathing down your neck. You're awesome, taking your job(s) so seriously, but just don't hurt yourself trying to push too hard too fast. We'd really like to keep you around for a long time!

Thanks, that really does mean a lot to me. Trust me, my wife and my lil fuzzy ferret want to keep me around too. So they make me stop and take plenty of breaks. Plus Malloy my ferret enjoys my home PT (glad someone does), as he gets to play with the balls too.

This is us after a hard PT and play session. I'm the feet under the blanket he loves to sleep on.

Anyway, way late for bed already, but I wanted to get this quick note out there. Apparently, I was experimenting with some CA that is supposed to be fume free (as CA burns the hell out of your nose and eyes even with a fan blowing until it cures) sometime before my surgery. I only did one batch of tips with the stuff, but decided the original was still easier to use. Well, apparently this batch had issues playing nice with wood or for some other reason reacted badly. Maybe it was just a bad batch of CA all together. I will pull out my books tomorrow after work and figure out who got them, my head is almost hitting the keyboard now. If you have this issue, please just PM me, I really appreciate not having those pics on my forum thread. Everything will be taken care of completely. Drop the tip or tips in a bubble envelope and send it back to me first class with tracking and I will reimburse you for the shipping, sand them down completely and start over or make all new tips for you. Whatever it takes to make folks happy. I am not happy until you are. This goes for anyone who ever had a tip and something went wrong. I will always take care of my customers. I'll even do my best to repair if you drop it, no problem. All I ask is just PM me and give me a chance to fix it for you. :thumbs:

Lesson learned, d'oh, never try a new CA on a production batch. My own stupidity. OK, keyboards about to quit working as I am drooling on it and head hitting it. Night all!:closedeyes:

What kind of issues would we look for? Would they smell bad?

No, CA has no smell after it cures (which is usually about 30 seconds). You don't have to worry about it as your tip was just done. This would have been months back. And it will be obvious if it does happen to anyone. The CA would turn white or splotchy. So far, I have only had one person this has happened to. I cannot confirm that this weird CA was even the issue (don't have them in my hands yet). Could have been something totally different. But I just wanted everyone to know, if they do have any issues, PM me and I will always take care of it. So it was more a notification in case someone has a tip that the CA turned white. I believe in being upfront with everyone and I'm sure everyone here already knows, if they have a problem, I'll take care of them. Treat people right and they will reciprocate, no other way of doing business as far as I am concerned.

still, fingers crossed this was an isolated problem

I am thinking that it was. After I looked up his order, this was well before I was testing the new CA. I rarely have issues with CA, which is why I switched to it on my mods too. Nobody else has contacted me and these tips were from last October. Think he just got around to needing them, they had been put away and he just noticed the issue. So most likely it was just a freaky thing. Two of his tips were perfect, uses everyday and the two that were put away, had the white areas. Who knows.....dodo happens. But they will be good as new after I get them back. Just sorry he had the issue. I strive to always put out the best product possible, nobody's perfect. But I am not a sell it and forget it vendor. I've even repaired plenty of dropped tips too...LOL.

See this tip? It was broken, and now it's perfect. I dropped it on some real hard rocks, and then tried to fix it myself. Sent it back to Jasen, and what he sent back was better than I could imagine. I actually like it much better than the original. It's by far my favorite tip.

Jasen, if I could get a good pic, I'd take tons.

Once my # for El Pincho comes up, I'll be sure to get the tiny bits sent to you. Of course, that'll be in, like, a year or more.
