As of today, I will no longer be excepting new customers. In reality, it's been since Thanksgiving, but now officially a freeze. This mostly applies to one-off and small jobs type of work. I spend wayyyy too much time on that type of work. I have enough commercial/Industrial, and firearm work sources to keep me more busy than I would like.
I just can't handle working all day, having dinner and maybe an hour a day with the wife, then working to midnight 6-7 days a week.
- You say Hire - Won't work - My shop is in my basement and I won't have "employees" in my house like that.
- You say Store Front - Not my business model & not interested (yet) in that massive overhead.
- You say Full-Time - That can't happen for another 16 months (I'm a couple years ahead of my 10 year business plan).
- You say 2nd machine? Already have two. Long jobs it works, but short jobs are too difficult to manage more than 1 machine.
It's a gamble cutting back, but I have to think of my sanity and marriage too.
