I agree for the immidiate future but thats not the plan i have for Chestnut woodworking solutions. I hopesolul grow and diversify into many products woodwork related Everthing will still happen through myself i just have them manufactured elsewhere. Its the only way to garantee accuracy and...

So after getting of the phine to Rick, he recommended selling them cheap with only a tiny profit in order to get internet sales moving then gradually as the name gets out increase the price. Also for the lower price send it out kit in kit form with hinges and screws etc. For people to assemble...

I know Rick very well. He has helped me devlop my bench to what it is. Those cutting tables are excellent and very strong. But they are designed as a semi permanent solution. Not a quick portable. Light weight workbench. If that suits your needs better then that is fair enough, i do think you...

I think the risk is relatively low. You could do that with virtually any wooden product on the market. The people who have such an inclination are probably unlikely to buy one in the first place id have thought? They wouldnt be able to sell them publically due to designers rights. Design...

I'm a trade user, it's built to suit my purpose and that the market i'm looking at. If I manage to break that market and it gets its name out there then ameature woodworkers and enthusiasts will more likely purchase. This is the way i see it but of course i could be wrong. The price is high to...

Thanks John! Yeah that sounds like a plan - i had the same thoughts with the MFT. I like it a lot but it isn't very stable. And i totally agree with you and having two benches - you always end up with rubbish all over one of them and having to clear it up to assemble something. I have a workshop...

A market I have never thought of - maybe etsy or similar may be agood market place for that sort of custom? Thanks! Coachy

I don't think i have - can you give me an example? I', intregued.

Last one was mainly used for dovetailing, box joints, tenons. I want a flexible head so I may buy two. I would like to be able to flush cutting dowels and trim pieces. Don't really need to do any rip cuts. just finer work. Beading etc. Cheers.

In the market for a new pull saw. Who uses what? What do you think and would you recommend as a purchase? I did have one but its gone and ihave no idea what make it was as its about 6 years ool Coachy

Well the CNC would help with the accuracy but i built my first prototype in the shop and still use it now - it works fine aslong as you take your time marking out. As for the not working on level ground i'm not sure where you get the idea that you can't use it on un-even ground? I use it all...

Yeah like i said I already have the plans - it was the first thing i did and my first idea but as mentions above... i'm looking at the long term. Also previous example was Ron Paulk who has only just started selling his benches in kit form - but he's done that because he also believes there's a...

I understand where you are coming from but I have to say i don't agree. yes the people who buy these things will have the skills and equipment to build their own of course... how ever they probably lack the time, or want to do that. At the end of the day you essentially saying there's no market...

Always open to ideas... can't guarantee it will make it through r&d....

Have a look at the video i uploaded on Youtube. With two of us jumping up and down on the workbench, the deflection is minimal really. infact it will be exactly the same as on an MFT3 - same size top but much thicker support rails. It's minimal enough for its intended purpose which is all I...

Haha the mother land! thats perfect, just need to find the prices now. IF anyone has anymore so i can start comparing then that would be great Coachy.

Anyone know of any suppliers of coloured / phenolic / prefinished high quality plywood? I'm in north wales but interested to know of any suppliers and if anyone has rough costs that'd be great too! Thanks Coachy.

Certainly a possibility worth looking into and developing. Watch this space. At the end of the day what i want from this is to start a brand, that finds solutions for woodworkers who are otherwise not 100% satisfied with their current set-up. From there I plan on making a range of accessories...

At the end of the day if that works in your favour then why would you change? If I got on with my trestles and MDF top then i wouldn't of come up with this idea as i'd have no need for it. I couldn't and here i am, but I appreciate that this isn't going to be for everyone and I will never be...

Makes sense. The only reason i've posted the listings so many times is literally so i can see which area gets the most hits and the most watchers and preferably sell the most haha. The postage thing makes sense. at the end of the day its going to have to be posted no matter where it is. Thanks
