Ahoy, good morning everyone, spent the last couple hours dealing with E-Mail & PMs.

There will be some changes concerning the ordering of RSMs, I am going to think the entire process over carefully and decide what is the best course of action I need to take to ensure I am able to continue making mods.

Trying to please people so much that I let the ship founder and sink is a course I need to steer away from and that is exactly where I am headed atm.

I would suggest if you are thinking of buying wood to not do that until our new course is set.

I cannot innovate. Once I take an order I can no longer let creativity take hold. Remember when the mods used to have individual inlays, designs, edging and such? I would like to be able to occasionally offer a more unique mod again.

This batch had 14 people on the list, 3 cancelled when approached to pick wood, 6 cancelled after I had started or decided they did not want the mod after completion. Each batch I do has this problem, usually not this severe but it still happens. What a time sink the whole process has turned out to be.

Yes, Time!. Since I started taking pre-orders, the 2 week process has turned into a nearly 3 week process. I can only attribute the extra 4 or 5 days as lost to administration dealing with the pre-order process and the dozens and dozens of PMs and E-Mails needed to get the batch started, answer questions and the final batch disposition.

Arggg, I can go on talking about deadlines, stress, material management and such, but lets stop here.

I need to get back on track, for now I am putting the batch lists aside and getting back to the basics. Ya? Yarr!

Oh yes, I have people who are on a batch list that I wont even start for 4 months, what are the chances they will still even want a RSM? It's getting silly ....

If you see one you like, simply buy it off the website, shoot me a E-Mail describing the engraving you would like me to put on it and I can do it after the fact. Simple
