It works cleanly on ios7, os Mavericks in Google Chrome and Safari, and windoze8

Your pictures in the galleries are entirely too small to be useful to potential clients. The largest ones are too small to see the beauty of your work.
Kind regards,
Tycer

Glad to see you back/up&running, Mike !

While most of the gallery pics are too small, except for a few in "Restorations"; the pics in the separate catagories seem of sufficient size.

Best Wishes !

Hi Mike, I am happy to see you back on line. I had no trouble accessing the site with the link you provided. The 86 Browning you cased for me is beautiful. Thanks, 1886.

Nice, clean, easy to follow. I definitely vote for much bigger pictures. I wish you all the best, and hope you strike it big.

I agree with several others, very nice site, but the pictures should be larger, by quite a lot.

Thanks for the feedback, ok, note to web master (actually she's a girl, so I guess it would be web mistress) BIGGER pictures.

Anything else that could be done better?

In the finishes section / case color price list.
You didn't mention the 1894 as a medium frame.

Other than that, very clean, clear and easy to navigate 8)

Yes friend, We need larger pictures and it would be nice to have color in the pages as well. Black and white don`t really catch the eye.

Yes, they enlarge a lot but I have a 22" monitor. I bet guys with small screens have a hard time getting a good look see.

Yes, correct. If they filled perhaps 1/2 to 2/3 of the screen, rather than the small percentage they do now, it would be a help. Full screen would be great if the definition and clarity is there in the image.
