Yerss....being local to this bloke, I've kept an eye on his ads over several years; his stuff is always expensive and it does not move quickly either. I've been tempted to go reconoitre, but couldn't summon up the justification.
It may be that he manages to serve the 'professional' here in Northern Ireland, where turnover is such that costs can, and are, passed straight to the customer. Then again, we are such a cultural desert - from a cabinet-making point of view - there are few in the league of Sian Dubh, Dodge, etc that I wonder if there even is a market.
Just to muddy the waters further, try Reids of Garvagh in Ebay and just look at the prices THEY'RE charging for large production tooling!
Sam, mumbling and rambling and not really contributing anything.....
