David, I can appreciate the brotherhood of this forum. I have seen many folks get a hand when they were down.Curt o answer your questions.
I am looking for some work, I am also trying to collect aluminum, scrap iron and everything else. Short of selling the clothes off my back I have nothing of value.
I am still taking orders for seats, cases, leg bags, covers etc.
I have looked on the forum and have gone as far back as the last year for steels that have either not sold or were closed due to no response.I have sent email to several as to which I have had no answer.
I also see people who say they have a 'room full' but yet no one has said 'I have something'
I have also started contacting stores and builders suc as Bobbe Seymore,Fred Justice,Doug Ernest, Guitar Center,among others.Very few if any have even bothered to answer an email .
But when I read of this "timeline for doing this is becoming the issue", it strikes me a little odd.
It is as if you expect someone to give you a steel before the first week of February..........
I don't mean to sound mean, but your last couple of posts came off as a little presumptuous.
It would almost seem as if you are intentionally trying to put some folks on a guilt trip. Sort of like, "I need a steel before February or else I lose it all, and it is up to this forum to provide it".
I know you did not mean to come off this way, but it just sounds that way.
Anyway, I'd work on getting a few evening shifts together. That way you would have some cash flow coming in.
Remember: Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
Flip a burger in the mean time.
