Congrats! Helluva lot better job than my first one: $1.90/hr at Sears paint department. And I thought I was doing good cause my buddies were getting $1.65/hr.

Looks great! My first paying job was bagging whole fryer chickens! Sucked! Worked in a meat locker for 5 hours a night after school (about 35 to 38 degrees and slush, blood and sawdust on the floor!).

Thanks slip knot, i agree and this has earned me some awesome coin, and i now have creative juices flowing to produce more items, good money making scheme. The client was so pleased that i already have extra work lined up with them. Hard part will be drawing the line in investing in new tools ensuring only spending for items that will generate the greatest return on investment.

I am envious now! Not of the quality work (very nice btw), but I am jealous of your extra coin from the project. I enjoy fab work myself and want all of the toys to do it. I am accumulating more and have been looking for odd jobs to pay for my toys.

You are on your way now, there will be NO turning back. Nice work. I would be on the look out out for a nice warehouse to grow into as your manufacturing plant and ideas take off.
