I learned a long time ago, a clean shop was a happy shop .... but a clean shop was a broke shop. I know that is true in the automotive business ... dont know how it works in the smithing business.
 
Re: pictures of my shop

We take pride in how clean we keep our shop. A clean shop is a happy shop and a smooth running shop. Thanks for all of your positive comments
 
Re: pictures of my shop

I am in aviation. Had some customers come through one time and they thought the shop was TOO clean. We informed them that this was normal for us. We stop work 1/2 hour early everyday to clean up. it is nice to come to a clean shop and start the day.
 
Re: pictures of my shop

What all kinda work you doing there?

Payson, I'll be there in a couple weeks visiting my Gramps, Hoping the weather is nice!
 
Re: pictures of my shop

Re: pictures of my shop

Man, that is a really nice set up. I wish I were one of those guys who could handle the machining side of firearms. Always thought it would be cool to do that sort of work but like my dad, I'm not much of an engineering-minded person. That just makes me more envious of those who are!
 
Re: pictures of my shop

We do make the G30 for McMillan along with alot of the tubb rifle parts and some of there .50 stuff. They give us alot of our work

Nice, good for you. You should market your own action

Re: pictures of my shop

We have a no compete clause with mcmillan so our own action is out of the picture. It is neat to be doing the actions for them. We have made alot of improvements on the action and I believe it's one of the best out there
 
Re: pictures of my shop

Wow thats awesome ! Great to see small businesses doing well and with the products you can make its amazing. I sure would be proud to show it off. I have always dreamed of having a shop that I could just do smithing work in but heck if I had all the equipment I wouldnt know how to run it!

Awesome shop , Great job, Be proud of your hard work.
