15 Hrs. Labor: PRICELESS!

hahahahahahahahaha I think thats how most feel.

 

[Robert Dark]

Only 15 hours?.....Whoa.........you are fast.

Some folks today think labor is a "gimme". Everyone is looking for a bargain.

Sometimes the wifey comes to the shop and ask what that "beep, beep, beep" noise is. I just tell her that it is me making the same noise as a delivery truck in reverse....... I'm backin' up.

Frustrating to say the least, but so it goes in the day of a hard-working-no-name knifemaker.

Well now.... I feel better and I sure feel your pain.

Ahhh, crap....... Ryan, you've proven what I've been trying to tell myself wasn't true!! Anybody want to buy a KMG for cheap????? I'll throw in some steel and sandpaper, no charge! If I quit now, I might even be able to send one of my kids to college for a semester or two!!

Haha, I will take your KMG and supplies off your hands. Want to trade for some half finished knives? Throw in the Mill and I will send you a picture of Mike Davis signed by me.

 

[jonnymac44]

I'm starting to consider your offer......what's the picture look like? That could be the deciding factor.........

 

[Mike Davis]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You guys kill me!

 

[NixKustoms]

I'm no knife maker by any means, but I am a leather bender, and that's how I feel too sometimes.
