Paintball marker suggestions???

Well Carl , you either died , or your next entreprenour adventure of getting me to make you rich off paintball grips for your customers halted when I told you I am not into production ...:lol8:

Here's a set of grips that you will like the wood, would look cool on a paintball gun too . This is Exotic Zebra Wood with 100 coats of finish . Smithsonian quality gun grips ..Look how well I fit wood to metal on this Colt , pretty sweet huh . Yeh no shit !!!!

Bad part of the production plan is I charge at least $200 or more for a set of grips , and that is a bargain . There aint no money it for me, after labor especailly . Do you realize how long it takes to do a pair of grips ??? Fastest I have ever made a set just to get ready for finish to be applied is five hours . Most take 10 to 20 hours without finish on them . Finish takes another 10 hours minimum per set . Then there is finish cost , which is over $35 with sand paper too . I shoot no less than 50 coats of finish on my grips, most get between 75 and 100 , hand sanded between most coats too .
$200 divided by my cheapest rate I work for at $25 hourly , is rediculously cheap if I actualy charged for all hours spent , like 15.00 an hour or much less ? Screw that !!!! There is a minimum of time involved,which is at least 15 hours per set . Do the math on that even at $15 hourly ? That is why I dont do it for a
living , and I am smart enough to know that there aint anyone smart enough to take advantage of my talent either without me catching them trying it .:thumbsup: I am Pollish , but so was Einstien !!!! LOL !!!

Snortin out

God damn Snortin, why you gotta be crushin' my paintball grip empire dreamz! I didn't know how much work is involved in making grips and figured you just sat on a rocking chain on your porch chewing on a straw, whittlin' wood and whistlin' the hours away then VOILA! SUPER PHATTY GRIPNESS. :lol8:

200 bucks is pretty expensive though... how much for just one grip? And how many one grips can you produce in a weekly output? :lol8::lol8::lol8:

See Crazy Carl , I told you so , even you the wealthiest man on earth thinks $200 is expensive :lol8: ..............
That is why I don't do it for a living anymore. I can't afford to work for free . How about you ??? :thumbsup:
Oh , and one grip models run $300 , because it makes me use only my left hand :lol8: I can do upside down grip panels for $400 each though . Backwards is even higher ...:lol8:
Revolver grips are the hardest to do Carl , they take allot of time, and no mistakes or you start over. After 10 to 20 hours of working , make one mistake and who pays for it ? Me . Not good ....
Hell , if I actually considered myself an artist ( which I do ) I would charge what I think I am really worth for a set of grips ..You don;t even want to know that price :thumbsup:
Most of my Rifle Stocks I make from blanks take me weeks of labor , some months even Carl . How do you put a price on it ???? Nobody would ever pay it . Just the wood alone for a rifle is over $200 to start with. This is asport for Kings and people with King money . People who really wna tmy work don;t ask me a price , because they can afford me .
I couldn't even pay what its worth .
Let me know if you want a free pair though , that I will do for you , and only you , for your gun only .

PS....$200 is not expensive , you just think it is . Allot of my grips are worth more than my guns , my rifle stocks are worth three times as much as my guns . It is art , useable art . Some hang Picasso's , I hang my guns on the wall . Do the math on these two cases of my guns ( I have many more cases Carl ) with all revolvers in my custom grips at $200 ( some are grips are worth at least $500 just in labor Carl ) , and you'll understand ART and how there is NO REAL PRICE :thumbsup:
Not just understanding the mathematics of money , but the mathematics of ART too Carl . My guns and work are priceless , too me .
Need is say more , this is my ART , my passion , and that is why I don't and won't and can't charge YOU one dime .
