Way to go Dan!!!   You will be surprised how much work comes from your web
site and now there will be word of mouth too.  Congratulations, and let us
see what one of your lamps look like.

Subject: [TheForge] My first contract!!!YIPPEE!!!

Hey All,
       Celebrate with me!!! Guess what?  I just got my first contract! Not a
sale at a craft fair or a reenactment. An Architect saw my web site and
asked me to submit a bid for 9 porch lights with an Arts and Crafts style.
Real simple design (about 4 hours a lamp).  They liked the demo and they
accepted my bid.  The architect said that if I deliver on time there should
be more orders later.
       After a bunch of false starts on other possible jobs and even having
some people "promising" big orders and then losing my number, I got a real
contract.  I am getting the down payment this week.

(I'll actaully celebrate when I have the check in my hand....no I think I'll
celebrate when I have it cashed :)

If this works out I won't need to get another summer job again! (I am a
teacher)  I can smith my way through the summer from now on!!!!

Wish me luck!
