At the risk of delving too deeply into personal details, let me say that it has been a frustrating (but very enlightening) journey to bring this saw filing guide to market.
Months ago, it became apparent that I was unable to keep up with demand by myself, so for some time I have been searching for a machine shop to make some of the parts for me. After striking out at more than a few shops, I believe I have finally found one that will work with me, and to my standards.
I am getting the money together to place a sizable order (well, sizable for me). It’s a big leap, but because a large order is the only real way to keep the unit cost low enough to make it economically viable, it’s one worth taking.
To answer the real question that most of you have: once the order is placed, it will be two to three months before the finished guides are ready to ship. Thanks to everyone who has expressed interest and support, and thank you to all for your patience. I believe that it will be worth your wait.
Ron Bontz showed me his RakeMaker at a saw sharpening class, the jerk.
So do you have to get on a pre-order list for this or… first come first serve?
You’re welcome to send me an email for the waiting list, but if I pull this off, then there should be enough to fill orders for the near future.
