So....when it comes to my cues, I've been blessed with a response larger than I could have ever imagined. Almost a curse in some ways. "not that i'm *****ing" Thanks to everyone for all of the kind words, inspirational when considering pushing the design envelope.
At present, I'm able to spend approximately 12 hours a week in the shop +/-. As you can imagine, that's not even close to enough time to be productive. This is about all my life will currently allow as I have a real job, a Wife and 2 pre-k children.
My goal today still remains the same...have fun!I build what I enjoy building in my style and on my schedule. This keeps things fresh, new and fun.
With the above goal in mind, the ordering process goes like this. "this may change when my circumstances change"
I have a list "mostly to keep track of folks in the order of which they contacted me"
"person" goes on the list
When a cue becomes available, or soon before, i contact the next person on the list.
This person can make a commitment towards the current cue or default to the next person in line while maintaining his current spot on the list.
This plan is of course theoretically good for everyone but only time will tell. My hope is that it works for everyone in a few ways. Some peoples budget may be greater or less than others, or non-existent at that moment. It would be helpful to know of an approximate budget at the time of interest so that i'm not contacting guys with a $800 budget, when theres a $2k cue available, and vice versa. I'm currently trying to make a broad range of cues within these price ranges so that everyone has a selection.
I will not make commitments concerning time, my current circumstances will not allow it....period
I do not accept any form of payment in advance
