FISHMOUTH FABWORKS CLOSING - Posted By TROUT (fishmouthfabworks) on 3rd Sep 09 at 2:07pm
I have been around,but off the map sotaspeak. I can no longer run both sides of the business.I can't afford to pay someone to answer phones or run my books.I have to do one or the other.Fab or customer service.I cant handle it anymore.It is not a financial issue.It is a choice I had to make as to not stretch myself to thin.I am keeping all my equipment,but its going into storage for now.I was introduced to Eric and Jeff from MFS in lincoln a month or two ago. We have talked and I will be running their Fab side of things and working on special projects.I will still be in the industry,just not under Fishmouth Fabworks.However that name will always be mine.I am sad to see it go,but it is the right choice for now.They need a knowledgeable person in the shop.I think I fit the bill very well.I look forward to good things coming out of that shop.Thanks to all those who have helped and supported me through the years.

Thanks guys, Trouts out! for good:(

Dan, Best of luck on your new ventures.

It sucks losing your shop, but know you can concentrate on your killer Fab skills.

MFS is getting a steal.

You're a tallented dude and you're going to kill it over there! Without the overhead and with a predictable income you'll be in your own rig again in no time and that's what truely matters. I'm just going to get another shop in the area... no real plan yet. probably look into that shortly! {Smile} Long live the troutman
