Andrew's Work Bench Status

REPAIRS SUSPENDED UNTIL 5/3. Please do not give me additional guns to work on until after this date. All orders currently under my responsibility will be resumed 5/3.

Note: this is mostly for me, as it serves to keep me accountable and organized for club business and repairs.

What follows is a list of current work orders for Andrew Hong, listed in order of repair and service. Due to circumstances relating to available parts, ease of job, and feasibility, certain orders will be placed ahead of others. Necessary parts and/or items on order to complete orders are mentioned in notes of order.

This thread is updated as soon as progress or changes have been made to an order. Check here for live updates to your order if you submitted one to me. If you have requests or want additional information on your order, send a message to me here, or send me a text message.

I do not operate on fees. My jobs here are a service to the club. I will take tips and/or lunch (food is preferable; I'm always hungry). You are not obligated to do anything however. This is as much fun for me as it is to actually play. Engineers are weird like that.
