Good thing my wife doesn't know what I'm reading on tradgang!  Brian Halbleib got me started after the trad expo last spring in Wheeling.  I've been hinting to my wife that I'm thinking of quitting my regular job.  I wish I was serious...

Experience would be a big help. And to relocate is going to be tough for anyone out of this area. And the wages are not that good starting out. We work as a team, everyone has his or her job to do and can overlap on procedures. I have had a couple good PMs already. This is a business that I hope will be here longer that I will, so there are lots of possibilities. Bob

I can tell ya Bob is one heck of a nice guy too. I've sat around/enjoyed a number of campfires with him and never met anyone who hasn't enjoyed his company, given the chance. Hope ya find a good'un, Bob.

Looks like we we are at a dead end again, Some real good bowyers, but to far away. Thanks for all that showed an interest. I'll just have to keep things as they are for know. I do have a 12 year old grandson, maybe????.

Miss Kim told me "absolutely not" or you'd have a new asisstant Bob. It'd be tough though having a helper who bought every bow he built...maybe that's why she said no   :rolleyes:

JC, You need to sweet talk her a little more, Tell her about all the big bucks here, she will think your talking dollars   :)  And your in until she finds out  the bucks are running around in the woods.... Better stay where you are, at least you can afford a new bow every once in awhile.  I would like to have you here, it is fun.  Bob

Bob,

Ferret is only 2-3 hours away from you. Maybe he knows some folks who might be interested.

What an opportunity for someone. Learning or working on a work of art like Bob's bows would be rewarding work.

Engineer in IL.........but wish I was able to change paths. Like most, probably stuck doing what I do and where I am till I retire.

Best of luck Bob!

Regards,
Bill

I have little experiance, but if I lived there, I'd help, just learning under a master bowyer would be cool

Hey Bob, I'm semi-retired now so I might as well go all the way  :eek:  Heck I still have valid Ohio Veterinary licence from the 70's!  Maybe even include a matching knife with new bows...guess that's how pipe dreams start  :bigsmyl:  Doc
