Out of Business

Can you not then decide that you're not a "real business" or regular-production steel manufacturer, throwing away the schedules, pressures etc. and build one now and then as a hobby and maybe custom-order ("order it and wait until it's done no matter how long it takes and don't bug me") basis, sorta like Paul Bigsby did? I'm sure there are plenty of steelers who'd be happy to wait for one of your instruments. If I had any money, I'd be one of your customers.[This message was edited by Jim Phelps on 15 January 2006 at 09:28 PM.]

Rick -- I'm sure this must have been a tough decision (or maybe it was the easy, obvious decision). In any case, putting your family life first is always a good choice. I'm just glad we got to see the entire progression of the dustpans here on the Forum.

Thanks for sharing all of your insights. I look forward to reading more of your posts in the future.

Best of luck,
Peter

Rick, instead of considering a Nanny, how about an "Apprentice partner"! Leo Fender ended up with alot of employees down the road, so he could concentrate on RS&D? The right contract would be needed to protect your side of things, but I'm sure you have already have mulled this over. Hope to jam with you one of these days!
