I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

Not in this quarter! There was mention of a group buy from the US at one stage. Someone here is missing out on making easy money; these things are not difficult to make! Originally Posted by Dovetail

Woodie2 seems to have gone off the radar with his prototypes, so maybe a Melbourne someone should check out Pagie's that he had made (not suggesting Pagie isn't a good judge of them).

Agreed. There's still a lot of interest. I mentioned the US, but they replied with not giving us much of a discount. I don't have any experience (or dog holes yet for that matter!), so I guess we need someone to stand up & take charge....thanks for offering Brett! Originally Posted by FenceFurniture

Just as a matter of interest, I've taken the liberty to send the holdfast PDF to 2 local blacksmiths. They are going to get back to me hopefully within the next week or so. I'll keep you all informed.

It'll be mighty hard to beat the price that Pagie got them for - $80 for 6, or $13.50 each! Originally Posted by johnredl

Pagie - a suggestion - would it be possible to post one to Woodwould for a once over? Given that he da man with the diagram and vast previous experience. In police parlance "he has prior form".
