Mike at Blowndeadline had a major catastrophe happen today. His shop he was doing his cerakote Magic caught fire today. He stated via IG that he is ok but has some minor smoke inhalation and minor burns.

Glad he is ok but as a business owner this is a major setback to say the least. Sending prayers and good vibes his way until he can get everything squared away. Looks be be a total loss according to Mike. Let's all send some thoughts and prayers his way.

That's horrible, Mike was getting recognized as the best in the business. It's good no one was hurt. Hopefully insurance will take care of a lot of it. I pray that there is a quick recovery, the industry needs him back.

Just saw this on FB, rough stuff there. Hate to see it happen and glad no serious injuries. Hope nobody here had a gun in the shop, that would just add insult.

Same just so this on FB as well. Didn't realize it was that bad until you posted the picture medic. Ouch; talk about a crappy ending to 2014. But on the flip side, glad you scathed relatively unharmed Mike.

Just saw the picture in my feed...tragic! I hope he was well insured and all his own guns were not in there, although based on the picture they may have been...

I am just glad Mike and his family is ok. Mike was working out of his shop in his backyard while he was waiting on his store front shop to be opened. thought and prayes go out to him and his family. I am going to reach out to him as he is local-ish to me and see if I can help him with anything.

It sucks to see this happen to him. I love seeing his new coating jobs in my FB feed. It's a shame that rumors have already started, but I guess it's to be expected with social media. Hopefully he comes out on top of this thing in the end. From his posts, he does have insurance, but that is not going to cover everything (e.g. customer equipment), or will take a while to reimburse them from insurance coverage, from what I get from the posts. Seems he is going to auction off some of his personal stuff to reimburse people for what was lost.

I feel bad for him. I don't have shit for money but I'm going to squeeze out $10 from somewhere to send to his paypal account. Every penny will help him. He does really nice work.

Everyone is safe. No major injuries. Insurance adjuster will be out in the morning to inspect and assess the damage. Unfortunately many customer parts were in the fire. Everything is tracked and I have paperwork on everything. There are some that think this was staged. I cannot express how pissed off I am regarding that matter. That's a whole different firestorm excuse the pun.
The out pour of support from everyone has been tremendous. Phone calls, texts, messages you name it. It has come to my attention that some people are taking it upon their self to set up fund raising pages and Go Fund Me accounts. This was not condoned by me in any way shape or form. I have asked that people do not donate anything until a reputable 3rd party can handle the donations. These donations will be used to cover all costs over what the insurance company pays for. Some think they cover everything 100%. This is not the case. If I tell them I have a Glock 17 valued at $550 that's what they pay. What they don't cover are the Trijicon sights, custom milled slide work, fancy stippling and everything else. Most people do not understand that. I haven't asked for help but the community has been fantastic and I am truly grateful for everything.
Once every customer part has been replaced then and only then will I replace my equipment. After the equipment is replaced and left over funds will be donated to a charity. I will let people decide on which charity when that time comes.
I do not need financial support. My wife has a job and we will be ok until the new shop is opened and up and running.
I do not want to see people sending their money to some shady fundraiser that is trying to capitalize on my misfortune. The most important thing to me is to make 100% sure that every part, piece, spring, frame you name it is replaced before I replace my equipment.
As far as my parts, receivers and things like that they don't concern me. They can eventually be replaced. I have several firearms and rifles I plan on sending to a trusted 3rd party to auction off to also assist in anything not covered by insurance and donations.
I built this entire business and following because I believe I can cerakote. I did it once and I will do it again.
Thanks everyone for the prayers, thoughts, nickels and dimes. I assure you that any monies that were sent to me personally will also be used to pay for customer parts.
As far as the T-Shirts. That was setup by a reputable screen printer that does all my shirts and many others. It was his idea and he has full control so that is 100% legit.
There are other companies like 556 Tactical, Lawson Tactical, American Steel Worx and many more that are doing things on their own. I trust them to handle everything. These types of fund raisers are pretty much legit. People are bidding and actually winning something in all cases.
I will have more information regarding a real, legit 3rd party ran Go Fund Me account when that is setup. Again, these donations are helping people recover their items first and foremost before anything of my business and personal property is replaced.

Thanks everyone and I will recover from this, just might take a little time!

I'm so glad that you're ok and also glad to see your spirits are still up despite all the BS from those few idiots. I'm also glad to hear you plan to make a comeback! I need my BDL fix!! Lol!! And when you do get back up and running I have some work for you!

Mike - I posted on your FB page. If you had computers in that fire and can find them I'll see if I can get their data for you for free. I saved all the data from a computer that was in a local fire here a year ago for a business. I did the deli computer for free too. It's worth a try.

I'm the local computer company in this valley. I'd like to see you back up in business.

Kind regards,
Will

No computers were damaged fortunately! But on a different topic, I do have a hard drive from my Macbook Pro that contains all of my itunes music! I also lost my iPod with what ever music I had left. Drop me an email, I would be more than happy to pay you to recover my music!

Hey Mike, sorry to hear about your loss. As far as your iTunes go, you should be able to go to the iTunes Store and select more, then select purchased. There it'll show everything you've bought and you'll be able to download it again without having to purchase it again. Hope this helps.
