Am I still welcome around the AK world?

[newt]

Hey guys,

Ol jnewt here. Just wanted to touch base with everyone on a couple things. Most of you prob know me but some of the newer guys might only know of my last years worth of business. I know I have made some mistakes and got in way over my head this last year. What a learning experiance that has been. I would just like to appoligize to everyone that I kept waiting for their builds for so long. I am deeply sorry for that. and hope you guys will allow me to be an active member of the group agian.

I am only two rifles from being caught completely up and I am only awaiting a order of rivets to finish them. I have started taking new work BUT with the following changes to prevent my last years worth of business form ever showing its evil slow face agian...lol... First, I will only be working on one customers rifle or rifles at a time. This means there will never be someones job sitting on my shelf waiting. Second, builds will have a 2 week turnaround guarantee. If its not done in two weeks from the time I receive the goods, its free. Third, no cash up front. Payment can be made when the rifle is complete, be it 2 days or two weeks. No pay till work is complete.

Krink, if you guys do not wish me to be a member feel free to delete the post. I will understand. Again guys, I appolize for the long delay on completing work this last year.

Thanks a ton,

J. Newton

Im one of the ones that waited for ... well almost 2 years total so I feel I have a much right as any "non-krink" person to have a say.
Jnewt you are a great builder and even though it took time you did as you promised with a great rifle just a couple weeks ago. In my opinion you are welcome and a great source of information to new builders. As long as you do as you are planning with one 2 week job at a time I think you will do good business. Welcome to the board, and thanks again for finally getting me my toy.

I have a good friend who waited a very long time and when he got his rifle it was not very well done. As far as being welcome, you didn't out and out rip anyone off that I know of, so my .02 is you can stay but welcome.....hummmmm.... I will reserve my judgement and see how you do from now on.

Who was it and what rifle was it? If it was not very well done I never heard anything and I would be happy to fix anything that is not satisfactory with it.

Josh, the staff is going to have to talk about this.

Email sent.

I'm locking this until we can talk about it tomorrow.

[Dorsai]

I for one have never missed a deadline or screwed up on ANYTHING. Wait, that's not right. Oops, I'm human and have done all of those things.

Welcome. Nothing wrong with learning from mistakes and moving forward. I hope the business goes well and I may send you some work in the future.

Thats what I like about this place compaired to other boards. I have yet to see someone here that is a self-proclaimed expert, and every one is nature, (except for me :razz: ) and respects one another. And now you've all proven you can forgive and forget.

I dont have a website anymore and I wont be advertising. I want to keep things small and simply. Just a word of mouth/reference type of thing...lol...
