Update:
Spoke to Wayne last Tues and he was accumulating names to post stickers to.
Spoke again today and yes they're going to be posted out.
The good news is that Tormek have started making replacement arms and they will be posted out too in due course.
PS. The Gransfors hatchet that is a temp bonus with the T-7 did arrive today. While not a deal maker for me it's a very nice piece of kit. Comes with a useful booklet on history, use and sharpening etc. And it is indeed very sharp. Prompts me to get out my Plumb hatchet and Kelly axe and see how they go on the Tormek.Cheers, Ern

Hi Ern

Does this mean you'll be getting one? Great news if so.
However...... Regarding the quality control issues at Tormek, I was amazed to read on their US website the other day that Jeff Farris stated re a current problem a US forum member had with another jig the following:
(Quote) It sounds like your [SVH-320] jig is from the batch mentioned previously that was out of square.(Unquote).
How many more skeletons in the cupboard do they have????

Yes, that's right, and it was news to Wayne of our distributor.
I got the sense from that post that it was a while ago.
Anyway, they're very stylish skeletons. Made in Schweeedn no less
Cheers, Ern

Agreed, Ern, GB make great axes and a real cute, but useful, booklet that comes with their axes
