Start of the new career..
« on: August 04, 2013, 07:37:56 PM »
Time to let the cat out of the bag, I guess. So, I finished my course work in July and have now secured gainful employment. On August 19 I will be moving to Jacksonville Florida. I will be working as an apprentice gunsmith for Tim Ward at Gunsmiths, Inc. Although they are currently based in Brunswick, GA the shop is expanding to Jacksonville and will be based at the Jacksonville Gun Club (the oldest gun club in the nation). I am looking forward this opportunity, learning a lot more and working on some high quality firearms.

Congrats!

If you get bored you can always ask FQ to teach you some air rifle techniques.

Congratulations, Mericet.

I liked it there.  Some big city stuff, but still a small town.  Beach close by.  Major freshwater and saltwater fishing.

Congrates Mericet!

I am in the process of trading my old '47 CJ2A  :'( for a lathe (old '49 Sidney/Monarch) to do some machining on gun parts (not really a gunsmith but know my way around machining pretty well  ;) ). 

May need to pick your brain a bit as I build up my first rifle on a Savage 111 (280 Ackley Improved for F-class open) action if that is okay with you?

Sounds very good, Mericet.

Like getting in on the ground floor of a new venture.

Congrats  :D
