regulated
6th December 2008, 10:07 PM
Hi all,
Craig from Easy Wood Tools, designer of the Ci1 roughing tool and RBTCO from the forum have struck up a deal to purchase a bulk lot of Ci1 tools at a discount rate for forum members. I have offered to pay Craig the full amount and distribute them. I am after expressions of interest so I don't get stuck with tools that no one wants. Even with our current A$ situation it is a very good deal given the discount Craig has given us (I think it is around 28%, our dollar would have to get back to around 90 cents i think to match the discount).
Items included are listed below. Price will be TOTAL AU$241.17 with yesterdays exchange rate. Note no handle is supplied to save costs and most of us would prefer to make a stronger one out of local hardwoods.
Pasted below is the deal struck up by RBTCO and also links to the thread where it was discussed.
Hi everyone,
I have some great news from Craig,
He has provided me with his offer, only because I initiated this idea, he is aware that maybe someone else will take over.
The idea was for someone to invest on a minimum of 10 x Ci1 tool sets, pay Craig, have then send here, and then distribute to those interested. Craig appear receptive to offer a complete Ci1 too set to this person, for the trouble...!
Now, I'm giving the opportunity for someone to be in this position and get a free tool, but only if he/she invests and purchase 10 sets to Craig. This investment as per yesterday currency is of AU$2,311.17 ,(USD$1,494.70).
The first person who showed some interest in take charge is regulated, so if you forumate, still willing to invest this amount immediately, you can have it...!:D
If you are not in the position to do so, I would like you to confirm either here or by PM, otherwise the opportunity will continue on offer for a few more days.
After that, and if no one wants to do it, I will then take charge on the principal that I will accept payment of the amount for each toll set + freight inside Australia and I will gather the amounts until all 10 sets are sold, I will then be in the position to send full payment to Craig and have him to send the tools, which I will then rap & post to each buyer.
OK, ATTENTION MEMBERS, the deal is this;
1 x Complete Ci1 tool set composition
* - 1 x Ci1 Easy Rougher shaft (only).
* - 1 x Ci1 Lexan chip deflector
* - 2 x Inserts square
* - 2 x Inserts R4 (4" radius)
* - 2 x inserts R2 (2" radius)
* - 2 x Insert screws
Note: No handle
Cost of AU$ 231.17 + $10 postage and handling inside Australia = TOTAL AU$241.17 delivered to you door...!:roll::q:) ( a discount of USD$58.92 = AU$ 91.51). A similar based discount will also apply for orders of inserts for forum members, as needed.
OK, this is the deal. and this is what everyone will be charged if they want one, regardless if is going to be done by me or someone else. I've just made the list of what I believe the tool set should have as a good starting point.
The intention is to bring some of these tools into Australia, directly from the tool maker, for the best price possible, before Craig will find a importer/distributor for these items here in the land of OZ.
I know well what is involved and the cost to get all the components to copy one of these tools, therefore I believe you can save yourself lots of troubles by just buying one. I am also and specially thinking of those without the skills, tools and time to copy this tool, making any possible attempt a "dangerous and ineffective" one so, this is the best deal possible at the moment for everyone!
Now, is all up to you...!:D
Tell us what you think!
PS: the original discount amount was USD$ not AU$ as it is now, sorry!

Thanks to RBTCO for all of the leg work on this. It is a good deal and it will be interesting to see how much interest there is. Brissy members can save on the postage if you want to pick up the tool from my place or if I am around your way I may be able to drop it off.
