[QUOTE="nosualc, post: 1087901, member: 19537"] Patience, grasshopper... If your smith said "Later May", I would say he's still on time. I'd give him at least a couple of weeks before I started pestering him. While it's true that squeaky wheels get oiled, do you really want your smith to be doing a hurry up job because you're being pushy? I've always had a gentleman's agreement with my smiths: You take your time and do the best job possible, and I promise to not pester you. If you hold up your end of the deal, and the smith does not, then find a new smith. If both parties fulfill the deal, then you've got the start of a great relationship. If you must, drop the smith a friendly "just checking in" e-mail, if he does e-mail. E-mails can be responded to at his convenience during his morning cup of coffee. -nosualc [/QUOTE]
