Hey I'm sitting in your waiting room waiting for you. He message back we're closed today for the holiday. Wonderful why didn't you tell me that in the beginning instead of telling me he'll meet me at 1 o'clock anyway I don't know this guy. I never worked with this guy. He never worked for me. He just ghosted me anyway I hope y'all have better luck.

Otherwise, when you enter blacksmith into Google maps, you'll see several other options in the area. I have a release arm for a fifth wheel that got bent. The website of The Blacksmith Shop says "no metal job too small." So I contacted Rick and sent pictures of the item. He said he could fix it for $100 and that he could fix it while I waited. That sounded great, because then I could watch. So I agreed on the price and made arrangements for the following week. But when I arrived as planned, he said he was busy and that I would have to leave the item. Over the next week he kept saying he would get it done. On one conversation during this week, he said he gets paid $200 / hour and that my job would take over an hour, but that he would still only charge me $100 since that is what he quoted me. After that, however, he said the job would take too long. Maybe he tried to do it and discovered that it was difficult to bend metal, or maybe he just decided the job was too small. In any event, I would have preferred if he had just backed out of the work and told me he changed his mind. I would have returned to retrieve my item and would only have wasted a little time. Instead, and without asking me, Rick ordered a new item online for about $110. If I wanted to order a new item online, I didn't need Rick for that. The reason I wanted the item to be fixed is because there are variations in parts, and a new one might not have the same exact specs. But if I had ordered the item for myself, I would still have had the old one to compare it to or fix. He said to pay $110 for this new item and that he was not going to make any money on it. About ten days later when the item arrived, he said just pay him $120 so that he could make a little money on the deal. When I arrived to pay for the new item, I asked if I could get the old item back. He said no and that he had already given it to the scrap metal dealer. I asked him for the invoice on the new one but all he had was the box it came in. I had $130 cash, but he didn't have change and asked me what I wanted to do. I asked if I could pay with a credit card. But Rick yelled at me and cussed and said he is not taking a credit card for a small job like this. So I said, okay I'll pay $110. Again Rick yelled at me and cussed and asked if I really wanted to quibble over $10. I told him I was not quibbling over $10. I was willing to pay the twice-raised amount he was asking for in cash or by credit card. He just didn't have the change and didn't want to take a credit card like other businesses. I was just not going to pay more when I had already been quoted less, $100 and then $110. Then he complained about all the work he had to do and that he wasn't making any money and that he doesn't like taking these small jobs. At no time did I yell, or cuss, or complain, but I did tell him that I did not ask him to order a new item online. I came to him for his blacksmithing skills, not his online shopping skills. After he finished with his yelling and cussing, he agreed on $110.
