I should've sucked in my gut for the picture. :rofl:
I'll try to scan it so it is readable and get that posted up later, but it basically talks about callmaking, custom vs. manufactured calls and the call I made for the Governor a while back.

WEll, that's good if you want to spend a lot of time making and selling calls. But it can be a pain in the backside too if you hve other things you would like to be doing.

You're not kidding. I'm not complaining, as it is a good problem to have. I flat-out REFUSE to make calls when my kids are awake, as time with them is far more valuable than making 1 call or 1000. After they're in bed at 9pm, I make calls. I have a long order list right now and I shoot folks straight that it will take a while to get a call made. Some folks don't want to wait and I make it clear that I'm not their guy then!

Just wondering, do you make all the calls to order or just make them up and sell them? Making all custom calls, that is to order, is much more difficult. Back when I was selling a lot of calls, I wojuld just make up a bunch and if someone wanted a call, I would send a picture of what I had on hand an let them pick one. Made it much easier than struggling with first the issue of whether I had hte material they wanted on hand or not.
-
100% of them are custom, made to order. I rarely if ever have any already made up and ready to go....I could count those calls on one hand. Building them custom is the way I like it. :yes: But I totally agree it would be easier the other way.
