Attended the annual Brownells Gunsmith Career Fair in Des Moines, Iowa this week. Learned a lot in the seminars, met some interesting people and strengthened some previously established contacts. Dropped a few resumes and did some on site interviews and will follow up with a few more resumes sent by mail or email.
Spoke to Doug Turnbull a few times, Jon Tank from Cylinder and Slide (Roy Huntington from American Handgunner wanted me to show him my 1911), Weatherby, Independent Studio Supplies and Bart Miller (gunsmith manager for Bass Pro Shop).
Also had the opportunity to display some of my work:
Stock on the Winchester 94, custom 1911, 2 examples of engraving and my portfolio.
The only disappointment was that Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing did not show up.
