Plane Blades and Chisels ( A progress report )

[Ray153]

Ray,

You can choose to stop waiting any time you wish and get a full refund. You should know by now, that I'm as keen as anybody to see this job completed, probably more than you could imagine. Just cool the rhetoric and be patient.

Ray

Ray, as I have also made clear, I simply want you and Helmet to fulfil the commitment that was made by you to do the work.

To be frank, there is little evidence to support your assertion that you are as keen as anyone to see this completed. If that were the case, then why has there been no progress since before Christmas?

And to ask me to cool the rhetoric and be patient is just plain offensive. All I have asked for from you and Helmet throughout this project is accurate updates on what is happening. I have not once engaged in threats or rhetoric of any sort.

Just how much more patient do you expect us to be? While your involvement in this did not commence at the outset, you have been responsible for a large part of the project which has been going since October 2010.

I know that the more my wife hassles me to do something around the house, the less I feel inclined to do it - and therefore the longer it takes.

Cheers, Vann.

Thanks Vann, funny how that's almost a universal reaction..

you have been responsible for a large part of the project which has been going since October 2010.

And you can add, I'll be responsible to seeing it through to a successful completion.

You should remember that we have completed and delivered almost all of this massive project already, hundreds of plane blades, turning tools, skew chisels, firmer chisels.

Hi Guy, Not for the last couple of weeks, I have some brass saw backs to mill in the next few days, so that will at least get me back in the workshop... I've hardly had any workshop time since christmas.

Ray

Hello Ray,

Have you gotten any workshop time?

Regards,
Guy

Certainly have, since the hot weather broke, it's been good. I'm not going to fall into the trap of making predictions on shipping dates... but as soon as I can.

[Ray153]

Ray, has there been any progress in the last month?

[RayG]

Hi Ray,

I got sidetracked into re-arranging the workshop to fit some new machines. Thanks for not hassling me the last few weeks, I appreciate it.

Ray, I confirm that the funds as agreed transferred into my account this afternoon. As such, I am no longer a participant in this paring chisel project.

Thanks Ray, That was quick, banks usually take a few days.

Does that mean there is a set of paring chisels up for grabs?

No, I'm going to keep them myself, sorry

[Toggy]

Hey RayG,

Now that you are a stake holder; does that mean you have to keep up the tradition and whinge at Josh each week?

Thanks Mick All the chisels are carefully packed away just now, ( I needed the space ) but, they will be back on the agenda soon.

Hi Ray,

What is he current status of the paring chisel sets? How many sizes are ready to ship? I ask since there are some who may want to accept a partial set.

Regards,
Guy
