I'm sad to hear it, Skip, your work is outstanding. I hope you will post pics of future work for yourself here. You seem a little annoyed in your tone, but I won't ask why.

I'm also very sorry to hear this... I've seen some of your work and been very, VERY impressed. A shame. I hope that you find fullfillment in whatever it is you decide to do from this point on.

That is too bad... Now there's even fewer talented people in the customization field... Good luck in whatever you do Mr. G.

Yes this makes three customizers that have pulled in their shingles in the last month.... And some others *cough brandonthell cough* that are having REAL issues... its a loss to be sure...

Is it too intrusive for me to ask why? Your clipped message seems to hold some bitterness mate. It is a cryin' shame to see you pull up stumps, I hope you will hang around the forum or if not I wish you the best of everything

Skips reasons are his own. But as many know unless you are keith larhman or alike you cant really pay all the bills with sword work. Even more so now that so many expect it done for to little... I hope those of you who hold work done by skip will be nicer to it now that he will not be around to fix it " A true warrior does not give up what he loves....he finds the love in what he does"- Dan Millman

Hello Folks,
First, Thank you all for the support. Like Ricky says, my reasons are my own and at this point I really dont wish to go into great detail.
That being said, I'd like to add that I've decided to back track a bit. Rash decisions and fast typing ....
Bare with me as I muddle through this and attempt to again get back on the horse so to speak.
Thanks again. Truely, your reply's have helped me to move beyond recent events and to look forward.
As I stated before, all of my prior arrangmants will be honored, and with any luck I'll be making more soon.
Take care,
Skip

Awesome Skip... we would hate to lose you... there are very few people who do what you do in our community... and it would be a major loss to all if your work was no longer an option. Chin up man... whatever it is your dealing with right now... at least your rich in friends, and admiration for your talent. Good luck.
