| Duane, He looks younger than you you should have had him take his hat off  I know he will do a good job for you as soon as he gets off that cloud he is walking on. Good luck to you both.

| Im very glad to see another CST student join the custom gunmaking field. I know MichaelJ has been very dedicated to introducing students to this type of work at school, in his off-campus classes, and by putting together the first ACGG visit for students. If there is one person largely responsible for the direction I went, and many other students to come in the continuation of fine/custom gunmaking it is Mike. |

| Aaron Thank you for the kind words but it is students like yourself and Tyler and others that make my being an instructor fulfilling.

| Duane, thank you for hiring a veteran. 
There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.

Hopefully, that means he'll be building custom rifles again.

| No doubt about it..my plate is pretty full and I've felt kind of badly not beilng able to accept some of the "Parts work"..rebarreling, scoope mounts, bolt handles, feeding and functioning, restoring, high grade repairs filling bottom mertal orders,,,well you get the idea.
In the short time he's been aboard,, we have enough work lined up to keep him busy for several months. I have a lot of faith in his demonstrated abilities,,,else he wouldn't be here.
He puts in long hours, solves problems, comes to work on time, speaks English...even takes out the trash |

Good luck with the new guy Duane. Seems like a sensible guy and very appreciative of his opportunity. So, now...do we all get the "entry level labor" discount this year? Just kidding. I'm anxious to see some of his work.
Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can.
