I just checked the website, Joseph is NOT up and running, he is working on old orders first. He will advise when he is open for accepting orders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C. Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I ordered sometime in Dec. and I still waiting I figured I would give him time to recuperate. About a week ago I got another email from him saying my order should be on its way so I guess I wait...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Well the order was probably sitting in my mailbox when I last posted. This stuff is really nice. Thank you Joseph and I wish you a speedy recovery. The third picture has one of the larger FDDs for size reference . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always been good, and the quality is top notch, but. Putting others ahead of waiting orders will not sit well. Right from his website: UPDATE JANUARY 12, 2022I was involved in a car crash on New Year's Eve where a lady crossed the center line and smacked me almost head-on. Aside from suffering cuts, bruises, a fractured sternum, and what my doctor says is a mild concussion, I came out of it okay. I had originally intended to start taking new orders on January 15, but that plan has changed for the short term while I continue to recuperate. I know some of you are patiently waiting on orders placed in 2021, and I will be rushing those orders out as soon as possible. I really appreciate your patience, and don't hesitate to email me with any questions you might have. If you haven't contacted him already, I suggest you do. Joseph has earned a reputation as an honest businessman who delivers outstanding products. The fact that he was in a serious car crash and despite that is working to get orders out speaks volume about his work ethic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
