A note from the shopHeads up before you apply: right now this is a one man shop. I'm up to my eyeballs in work and looking for good help, building this out as fast as one pair of hands allows. Getting every smith set up with paid orders is going to take some time, so it won't happen overnight. If you're in, hang with me and we will get there together. Thank you for your patience.
