I’ll publicly say YES! At least on the 1911/2011 platform. Perhaps more experience is needed with other platforms to make the business more well rounded. But you definitely have the skill set, personality and work ethic. I’ve been very impressed with your work. And not just that, but your ability to learn new skills and quickly excel at them.Honest question. Be brutally honest. From those that know me and have seen my work. Do you guys think I could make a living doing gunsmithing (not necessarily ALL guns, but maybe specialize in say 1911 and 2011 guns) and also doing metal art with some wood burning art mixed in? I'm at a real crossroads right now in my life and in my soul I feel like I should follow my passion. For those that know me, I take my work very seriously and this is the biggest decision I've ever came across. You can PM me if you don't want to reply publicly.
Thanks

I will say, just my 2 cents, is to continue it as a hobby or side business until you have the reputation and customer base to sustain full time business.
A living? How hard do you want to work and do you have the stomach to endure the business building process? I think if you worked the gunsmithing angle nights and weekends and spent every spare moment at some craft fair someplace with your metal art (Which I find delightful) and woodburning work, you might eventually find enough business to replace your income. You'll spend time that you'll have to invent to build and burn inventory for the shows and spare time will not exist until you've developed a clientele and a reputation for quality work. You've watched Allen build a secondary income with the pistol smithing, but I think he still paints cars to pay the bills. I love you and want you to be happy, but dreams all come at a cost. Bouncing back from mistakes and shortage of family time are challenges too. Gotta find a way to get the dock and the boat closer together b4 you jump. Keep pecking away at the 1911/2011 work. You've already learned a ton and accumulated some of the tooling you'll need. I think you can do it. Just afraid "all in, all at once" may be a recipe for stress and misery.Honest question.

Love you brother! Patience gives some very wise advice and although I know how much you want to jump ship and into a new pool, try to go slow and smart.A living?

Fyi, the one they have in the store is cooler IMHO but not as pristine looking.Don’t be sharing my secret. I’m trying to get the funds together to get it tomorrow
I like those. Very sharp.
