Good deal. Only you can make it happen. Go for it!
BigHoss or as I like to call you, Buddy, I just want to say that I am proud of you and the Good Lord does great things!

Hoss best of luck to you in your endeavors, once you get up and running I'll be sure to do some business with you strictly on what you posted above.
+1, my father is the jack of all trades type and I kick myself now for not paying more attention and soaking up more of that knowledge while I was younger but he did teach me a lot of things I still put into use today (to include taking me shooting). He and my mom got married and had my oldest sister young (19), started off their life together with almost nothing he bounced around as an auto mechanic and eventually moved down to the Corpus area where he went to work as an underwater welder for a company (I think it was called Pi Energy?) would be gone a lot but my parents budgeted and saved, scrimped and clipped, eventually bought some land in Aransas Pass and we lived in a trailor home there for several years, more working and saving got the foundation for their house layed down, later the frame went up, sides and a roof, interior, plumbing, etc. My dad did most of the work (carpentry, plumbing, electrical, etc) himself and eventually we moved into the house (overall I think it was between 2 and 3 years to complete but I was young). Fast forward a couple of years he decided he wanted to give it a shot to achieve his American Dream and opened his own business (boat repair) started out sharing a shop with a friend and later moved into his own building, business came more and more so he moved to his current location at Cove Harbor in Rockport where he is continuing to do business and now also has multiple employees working under him (with my mom running most of the paperwork and shop manager duties). Most of his customers are extremely loyal because they know my dad is an honest hard working man who stands behind his work and if they mess something up will not hesitate to correct it and remedy the situation. We used to not get along very well as he is a man firm in his beliefs and I was a punk teenager who thought I knew it all but we now have a great relationship and I respect that man more than anyone I've ever met in my life.
Long story short anything is possible with a positive attitude, good business ethics, and the willingness to put forth the effort.
Glad to hear. Hope you do get it and things go like gangbusters. You're absolutely right. This country was made from blood sweat and tears, honor,
sacrifice and loyalty. The common things people take for granted these days are those laborious jobs and tasks that still need to be done by some
one and none of it is taught in the universities. Only one way to get it back....stay involved and fight like hell for your freedoms.
Dammit ... ENOUGH of this touchy feely stuff!!! I have the money, do YOU have a license and CAN YOU build me a 338 from scratch? LOL
Actually a pretty good read. Good luck with the whole shebang BigHoss. You never gave the answer ... how long was the interview. By chance today I found a small town, once-a-month auction house that regularly sells guns. She said their interview (sales only) was @ 8hrs. Of course I stopped in there to find out about auctions and guns and learned a WHOLE lot more over the next 45 minutes. Translation ~ she's a talker
Glad to hear things are working out for yuh!
Im in talks with a couple buddies trying to get something going. we are looking at class III... should be interesting.
I feel your pain. I draw lines on a computer too. I wish I could find a way to make a buck in the gun world. Best of luck to you!
I worked with my hands beginning when I was around 10. My grandpa had rent houses, and we worked on them together. I was small and could fit into small spaces (under a house) that he was too fat to fit in. That continued into high school, where I did ranch work: working cattle and hauling hay. Then into adulthood where I did construction work for more than a decade. When I hurt my back, I went to college and got a desk job. Best thing I ever did for myself. I'm not on disability, I now have my own business, and I go home smelling nice (my favorite part).
I guess its all in perspective. I can do alot of things with my hands, and for years I did it to survive and raise my family. But its nice to not HAVE to anymore. Now, its nice to not have to wreck my body at my age just to survive. Glad I was able to make it out of that lifestyle. Too many of my friends from that world are "old men" at my age.
Hey, the grass is always greener, right? No matter what we do, we usually want to be doing something else.
