CJ and Tony,  
I for one would wish that you not take this discussion offline.  Understanding the relative differences in the way craftsmen work on these types of projects is important to me and others.  
As a hobby gunsmith myself understanding the nuances and differences in how people approach work is important when evaluating how I might approach work myself.
I think that both of your are professional enough to have a candid conversation that all of us can participate in and understand. 
Please don't exclude us...this is the reason I am on this board daily.
Thanks
