The point here though is that no one has been ripped off that we've been made aware of. Has anyone asked for a refund that hasn't gotten one?

I may be wrong as I can't find it on the new PP,  but I think someone mentioned having difficulty getting a refund on the old PP. 

That said,  my last post wasn't in reference to him ripping anyone off,  but rather to point out that a company/individual that has done great work in the past doesn't always come through in the present/future.

That is true Frizzle but in this particular case we are talking about a guy who does this on the side, not his business model...

AND, he is known for an EXTREME attention to detail.  These small runs of parts can be difficult to work with vendors/manufacturers on because they will not be making a huge profit off of such a small run of parts.

If he finished the yoke up quickly, with some shoddy parts, someone out there would say, "I would have been willing to wait for the part to be done right".

It is all in what you truly want in the end.  And patience is a virtue.



Just playing devil's advocate to the quote above.  I have no vested interest in the matter.   :cheers:

I am sure that once the yoke is in hand, everyone will be pleased with the product they recieve.

I have no problem with a vendor paying attention to detail. He can even spend years developing a product.  However ...

I just think it shows poor taste to do it on someone else's dime.  I will go you one further.  If someone can't raise the capital to fund a project why am I going to fund it?  If they are using my money and are under absolutely no time constraints there is zero incentive to bring a product.  Now if their money is at stake, they are very motivated to recoup their investment.

Hehe, excellent point. Being able to produce a high quality product is only a portion of running a good business. There are so many options that he could do, and should have done. It should not take this long to find a powder coating solution for his handles.  As an act of professional courteousy, he should have at least offered the option to send the yoke as is, even with handles unfinished. It sounds like the guy has obsessive compulsive disorder which is really killing his business.
