Nice work Eric. :)

Almost looks like someone ran a rotary (poorly) over it before you got it.

First thing I thought was, damn that must be a friend price. That’s a lot of real estate to cover. Great job btw!

Thanks a lot for the compliments guys.

I charged 325 for this job and that’s what I need to charge to be fair. I live in rural, blue collar West Michigan and median income out here is not high enough to ever dream of charging 600 for that work.

I’ve been at this for one year. I do this out of my garage and have no pressures of overhead. I target 50-55 dollars an hour when I work and that’s what I made on this job.

I like your work , looks fantastic
I can relate to you, where I live the demographic ain’t too good. I have to travel at least 30 minutes to where the more “wealthy” people live.

I don’t like it. Very cheaply made. I’ve made one warranty claim on it already after the trigger lock button broke off.

Two weeks later, with my new one, it happened again. I was able to find all the pieces and put a drop of super glue on the button’s stud and it’s worked ever since. So, twice, in the middle of a paying job, I had to fall back on my PC7424

It’s sleek on the outside. Ergonomics are very nice. Open it up, though, and it looks like how my daughter’s fisher price toy is assembled.

I get it. Griot’s is trying to hit that $150 price tag, so off to China they go. You get what you pay for.

It’s the same price as my Porter 7424, but my Porter has never failed me.
