I just finished my 500th trigger job and the number kind of hit me

I've been doing this for about eight years now, mostly working on hunting rifles and some competition stuff. I was cleaning up my bench yesterday and counted all my work orders, and it came out to exactly 500 trigger jobs. It made me think about how much muscle memory I've built up for different sear angles. Do you guys ever track a specific type of work you do, and does it change how you see your own skill level?

Finally made it to the top of the switchbacks on the Timberline Trail last Tuesday, my legs were screaming but the view was insane lol

Realized I was over-complicating my point cutting for years after a client in Portland showed me a picture of her 'messy' home haircut.

DAE feel awesome after a customer's kid said your glass art was cool?

I was installing a decorative glass panel in a cafe, and this little girl pointed at it with a big smile. Her mom told me she wants to be a glazier now, which totally made my day. Do you ever get surprised by who notices your work?
