Tim's hands surgery

[timshufflin]

Will you be suspending operations while you convalesce - I was toying with the idea of having the 1897 shotty parked.

I will be having a very very long wait time instead.

That's fine; your health absolutely must come first. Your workmanship is exemplary and worth waiting for. I wish you successful surgeries/treatments and a perfect recovery!

[timshufflin]

Hey, if I was needing something done, I wouldn't wait for me. I'm a simple guy, nobody is worth waiting for for something as simple as parkerizing. I did get word Monday, first surgery is Nov 26th. I am working on any jobs in the shop right now and should have the shop cleared out of what's currently here by the 26th.

Sorry to hear that . I hope all goes well for you Bro.

Got the carpal tunnel and two trigger fingers. Just got back from the doctor, Nov 26 for right and later part of December for left hand. I should be ready to go for February.

I had the left hand done first because they said it was more severe,and all went well,except my hand is still crap!It has been several months,and hand is still tingly and basically crap.He said it may be because there was so much damage...at any rate I opted out of doing my right because My left hand was totally useless for doing any task for about 2 months.Good luck Brother Tim!

yeoow, this surgery sounds tough...OG.

Mr. Shufflin Sir, Do you have any apprentices in the shop?

I only ask because I think that the things you, and many others here do, is very important. Gunsmithing isn't an art that can be lost under any circumstances.

Special knowledge of battle rifles is a plus.

Here's some guys looking for work. They sent these pics in with their resumes. Think they would find the winters in Jerome tough, but they seem to be willing to learn from the master. (not to worry, they can be made OSHA compliant)

Winters in Jerome might not be much worse than winters in Darra Adam Khel...

I did get word Monday, first surgery is Nov 26th.

Good luck with your surgery on Tuesday, Lefty
