I wouldn't put up with that.

If you know of anyone who is turning around quality restoration work quickly, please let us know.

Every smith I know, including myself is way behind. There are less folks out there offering up quality restoration work than in the past and demand for restoration is sky high. I have two safes full of work waiting to hit the que and entirely too many projects in process.

Bill does good work and his services are in demand, there are only so many hours in a day. I sent a fully prepped grip cap to Turnbull for case hardening not long ago, it took them almost four months and they have a shop full of craftsmen, Bill is one guy.

I'm all ears about these guys with a fast turn around....I'll start referring all the inquiries I am turning down to those guys.
Ok. Everyone has to decide what their tolerance for waiting is. There’s no substitute for good work, but some of the craftsmen are unapologetically slow, not saying Mr. Graham is. But I suspicion there are some out there who can be found with some phone calls and due diligence who are more expeditious. Not bothering with that myself though. Thanks.
