Shop will be closed until Jan. 1st.

Yes, the shop may be closed but that does not mean that I won't be there. I have some repairs and odd projects that have been laying dormant through much of the last 4-6 months. I will use this time to complete these and other things in the shop that have been overlooked, such as removing a bit of clutter and getting things in a better state of order. That said, this has been the second busiest year of my career and I'll use that as an excuse to justify how some things in the shop might have gotten a little more disorderly in the year of 2024. What will 2025 bring ? So far it is looking to be much the same as this year but my plans are to take a bit more time to do things extra-curricular. In 2024 I built 94 frames , or at least that's the count as of Dec. 24th- it is likely to go up by one or two before the end of the year. I think in 2025 a goal of maybe 75-80 frames is more sensible , given that I will be turning 70 in September. There's only so much one can push oneself at my age. 

Happy holidays everyone and thanks for all of you taking time to see what's up in the shop all these years.
