This is awesome. Of course, as soon as the shop is up and running again he's going to have to deal with all of us wanting to stop by and watch him make cool stuff cooler.

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!

Mike just posted some pictures yesterday about his progress of his current shop. Figured you'd like to take a peak:

I just want him to get rolling again for the endless stream of gun porn he posts on his FB as he finishes projects
