Well to update you just a little. We could not sell very many tools. I attempted to transfer the business to two younger fellows, my step son and man my stepson grew up with I worked and trained under me for many years. The friend also rents a space from me. I wanted to get them to run the business with me in the back ground. This did not work out. They just could not see eye to eye on operations.

We have reduced our activities to just a few client's we feel comfortable with and also only take on work that we feel fits a less overwhelmed by paper work. We are working on a small kitchen.

From my mind as a black man living in modern American social ills. Gerard Merchant was born in 1959 in Lynchburg, Virginia. My works are primarily in wood sculpture.
