My guarantee is that you must be satisfied with the work I have done. If it is not to your satisfaction, it comes back at my expense and returned the same way. I continue to work on the project submitted at the price quoted until I have met your satisfaction. At no further cost to the client.
As for cracking a stock...it has happened. Maybe 6 in 30 years, but it has happened. In those cases the gun is repaired. Invisible and timely done. The client is notified that it has happened and we discuss what is to happen next. Since I have made my living at repairing gunstocks for over 30 years....I am confident in what I can do. (I am confident in what SKB is able to do also. He is a very skilled craftsman who is very conversant with the masters of our trade on both sides of the Atlantic.) To my knowledge....there is NO ONE who bends stocks that guarantees they will not break. That is the risk the owner takes in altering a gunstock instead of having a new one made...IMO.
I have a 30 day turn time for bending stocks. However, there is time built for any spring back that may occur. It if does.... I do it again until it stops where the client asked for it to go to. When I can not meet the expectations the client is called and it is discussed.
I take all of the precautions I can in order to not have a broken gunstock. Disassembly of the gun first, to make sure there is no "unannounced prior damage", is a must. Before you may bend a stock you must spend time looking it over for obvious breakage or repairs. Bending is not just science...it is an art. Physically anyone may do it. Making sure it stays put over time is the art. One must spend time with wood and learn how it moves and why. All of this is determined over time. Very few learn an art form in a day/month/year. The mechanics yes...the art no.

Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?

Hmmmm....$300 does seem high priced. I didn’t pay that much in the past. Do you think it might be that costly because he has to factor in a fair amount to pay Dave for the business advertising he is doing on his forum? We know Dave doesn't care for those who use his site for free advertising and self promotion, because he has said as much: For Sale section…
#1 - I have always provided latitude to members who have been courteous enough to ask prior to posting for sale ads. This would include those who personally sell DGJ collections, Ithaca Model 37's...et al. As I feel these are legitimate sporting items and/or fine firearms. I would expect the same fee if the listing was successful and honestly all the members who have ever asked first then posted have been more than honorable in their commitment to the terms of the for sale section. I prefer the preponderance of ads to feature SxS guns and rifles…so long as the “Other fine Firearms” and related are in the minority I have no issue with them being in the section. For that matter I can light up another forum with related items but there don’t seem to be enough of them to warrant the change.
(Random rant thrown in below just because…it’s true….Or, at least I think so.) I have always been pissed off by commercial ventures who feel the BBS and its members are worthwhile for their advertising so long as it’s free….Apparently only their time and products are worth money where as my time and my product is not….go figure.
Thank you,
Dave Weber

Why would he pay for advertising...liberals think it's their right to free everything.

Frankie b0y, You seem cranky lately. Cabin fever maybe? I was thinking you should get out some, maybe some fresh air. Maybe take a drive up to P.A. and help your BFF Billie get his horse back in the barn after he left his door wide open. You know how busy he has been snooping around board members hard drives. Your cyber security sucks and you let me right into your hard drive up there in N.Y. Too late to close the barn door now. That's all we'll say on that interesting subject just now. Of course he will deny it when confronted about his behavior. Then again, maybe getting that horse back in the barn might be near impossible. Say Hi to William M i l i c h for me. Bwahahaha!!!! Have a great day b0yz.

Just be patient Frankie b0y, lots more photos of my work coming up just for you. Don't bother asking though, I am not taking any more work in at the moment.

If you are implying I have contacted Dave about any forum members behavior you are mistaken. We do know that Billie had his last name turned into a censored word. Think he contacted the admin about that?

Talk about TSS or a Four Ten in one of JOhn Roberts threads and he gets it immediately deleted.
