Cegga GB???

[_scorpio_]

there is not even the slightest hint of planning anything yet (i havent even mentioned it to cegga) but i was wondering if people would be interested if i could arrange a group buy from cegga (if i am allowed to).

i dont even know if cegga, being a hobbyist maker in his spare time, would even consider it, but if he would i was wondering what people would suggest?
of course if he cant do it (and i suspect with how low his prices are already he cant) i will try gransfors bruks to see if they can be negotiated with, but i would prefer to support cegga (plus i want one of his axes )

the only reason i thought of this is because i havent actually contributed to this forum in my hundreds of posts, and i wanted one of his lovely axes!

just wondering what people (especially cegga!) think...

Red has done it before, so it is a possibility.

 

[_scorpio_]

oh yeah... that slipped my mind completely!
am i allowed to do it though? i will be doing it through my dads accounts because of age but do i have to be a paying forum member or something?

 

[British Red]

I wouldn't describe Cegga as a hobbyist maker scorpio - he is a master smith working for a large firm of Swedish axe makers

 

[Shewie]

I'd like something just a bit more beefy and upscaled than the BR Hunter, same design though to make a nice pair

Damascus mmmmmm

is it his actual job now?? i thought he did it in his spare time.

shewie, i have been considering how to do it and i was thinking of having a look at what he has made already and what people request and picking a top 2 or 3 axes (1 or 2 would be easier but i dont want to leave people out if they want something).

personally i really like this one:

and i am considering doing the group buy purely for those type, however if a lot of people also want another kind then i will try to do that too.

if this isnt removed because i am not a member/trader/other reason, and some numbers are agreed with cegga, i will take suggestions and then do a vote on what most people would like.

Yeah no probs I'll go with the flow. Just putting an idea up

I don't think there's any issue with setting up a GB, just make sure Cegga knows

 

[forestwalker]

IIRC he is (a) working for the company making axes, and (b) making some *more* axes on the side, as a hobby.

That's how I understand it

Sorry to put a downer on this, but don't you think it would have been polite to ask Cegga first? before you get a list people wanting axes and make him feel obliged to do this to avoid dissapointing them? and using up his free time to do it?

 

[_scorpio_]

i have asked him and i have said i will go no further with this until i discuss it with him.
i am not asking you what designs you would like, just if you would be interested.

That's not what you said earlier

That one's mine, pity your so far away or you could of had a go with it.

I'd quite like a smaller one(same length haft)to go with it, hmm...

well, earlier i hadnt asked him
i have now but no reply yet...

"I'd quite like a smaller one(same length haft)to go with it, hmm..."

discuss this after i have spoken with cegga, as bikething says he may feel obliged if you start making a list of requests.
thanks for the interest

Cegga was struggling with the number of orders and thinking of stopping. But if he does this I have a design in mind.

 

[Cegga]

Hi!!
This can be done only if the forum agree so you have to ask them first .
I have some work left on a big order to Italy but not so much so after that I am almost free from axes im my mail box
Have to know what kind of axes and how many before I can say yes and when I can do them, and if you want me to do them
