Glad to see that.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Submitted an order this morning. I had recently finished the vacuum kit construction and now need the glue and other supplies. The kit and it’s instructions worked flawless.

Great to see him back open. I hope it all goes well for his business. I sent an encouraging email, hope it helps.
I no longer build museums but don't want to change my name. My new job is a lot less stressful. Life is much better.

I left Joe an encouraging note and got a lengthy response. The bad customers is a significant part of the problem, but the business is also having the same problem that many other businesses are; interstate tax collection and transmittal. He has a steep fine from my home state because of these complicated tax rules and transmittals. Those issues have created a significant amount of stress.
The owner of my absolute favorite restaurant,
Grouchy Chef, has no problem telling irritating customers to get out and never come back, as I have seen in episodes worthy of a Gordon Ramsey episode. Some people just deserve to be on the Do Not Serve list.
I bought some very nice AAA quilted sapele from JWW several months back, that is getting more difficult to come by, so I buy it when I see good stuff for sale. I should probably go back on his website and see if there's more good stuff even though I have a supply that will last for years. This stuff doesn't get more common with time.
Cellulose runs through my veins!

Whew! I'm happy to see he is still moving forward. He is such a great resource. I have one of his pumps and bags and intended on getting a smaller bag soon.
Thanks Joe!
