@Rob M. if the world is still in one piece this time next year and we're both still chugging along I bet I'll be contacting you. Need to get through this Clay Smith build, which is running a little late, and try to educate myself more on the Trade Guns to know which one I'd like.
 
Sounds like a real project, will be looking forward to reading. Love the bench and vice.

You and me both. So much to know and not a lot of time left. I sure enjoy the build process though. @Rob M. does such a great job. I do plan on several more builds but I would like to own one custom made gun. I wonder who I should contract with for that? ;)
Yes at a certain age one starts to balance the cost against the time, or lack thereof. As for contracting a custom, I am guessing you already have an idea!
 
...slabbed off

We'll see ! Gettin excited ! Maybe I'll get a NW trade gun one day ! :)

It will be a month on Monday, was told 2-3 weeks. But I'm not complaining at all. It's just about ready to ship, I called a couple of days ago to check, haven't been bugging him on it.
