Cegga GB???

[QDanT]

When Cegga found time to make a batch, I put a post up and it was "first come, first served"
Hi Red that's what happened on the first batch I had my name on a list came back from work - you'd posted and they'd all gone.
As for dropping off the list maybe a £50 non returnable deposit would show commitment
just my 2p cheers Danny

Entirely up to Scorpio and Cegga mate - its never a simple process and every way has its pitfalls

 

[Shewie]

I'll just wait for some pics of what is on offer and then be ready to pay if and when the time comes.

I think we've now got an idea of what folk want, is it time to let scorpio and cegga sort it out between themselves and then update us as and when ?

 

[robin wood]

The axe I would be interested in is a lighter version of the Gransfors carving axe, same shape, same thick, heavy head, just smaller to make it same size and weight as GB wildlife hatchet.
Have asked GB and they are not going to do it. I would prefer these forged finish rather than ground finish and would buy a number if Cegga was up for it, appreciate it is not what he normally does though.

+1 on what Robin said -

Provided the axe style is what I am looking for I would be happy to pay in advance then the issue of dropping out doesn't happen. Some people commit to the list when they have the money but then by the time the GB item is ready there finances are worse; others go on the list with the view that they have time to save before it's ready and so maybe a non refundable deposit is the way to go?

all i know is that we're 4 pages in, and no closer than we were on post 1. what Red has said is true - everyone has their own way, but this isn't it. Such is the desireability of Ceggas work, that the question 'who would be interested....?' is a no-brainer. a certain amount of communication/work should have taken place before this even hit the forum, as this is just a mess. no offence to scorpio, but i'll just contact Cegga privately - the axe i want is a design he has made before. good luck with the GB, but imo it needs closing until some definite decisions have been made

I'd agree with Gorilla sentiment in a way , but do appreciate that NEW design is a labour intensive process , I wonder if as there seems to be a difference between Axe types wanted ( Tomahawk Vs Broad ) maybe we need to split into several smaller groups , I for one am interested in a TomaHawk type design , be it a Reeve inspired or the Gotalund style Red pointed to.
I think regerdaless fro a new design this will be a very , very long process and it being a GB proposal will make it even more complicated and slow.

For those that KNOW what they want may be best to just state exactly what you want ie a BR , because the design is already set in stone. For those that want something new be prepared for a long , long wait.

I would agree with the non refundable deposit regardless of the group.

Does anyone know where we can view pictures of Cegga's axes and if it is not obvious also view the measurements? This will help define things quickly for me.

Have you seen the axe on the link I posted Robin? If anyone on here would know about it I expect you would. It's not the same as the GB carving axe but looks like a lighter alternative.

That one is made by Stefan Ronnqvist and I have not used it. I have a couple of friends in the US that have them and rate them and would like to try one.

 

[_scorpio_]

yeah, this went much madder than i thought. original idea was the first axe i suggested only and i was expecting maybe 20-30 people to be interested, but it seems we have come up with another (good) idea as well, and now people are suggesting they would want a small one too (maybe next group buy).

i have got all the info i need from this thread on what everyone wants, so i will sort it out from here. i would expect i will have to do this in a few different group buys, and that the first wont include any new designs.
what i will do is save that final list, split it into hawk design and other design, check with those i am not sure, and put it back up in the same order when i have a price quote, then let you drop out of the list or add your names to it up until we have enough names then get them sorted.
once the hawk design is sorted, you will have seen it from reds review, and i will do the same as above.

hope this is ok, sorry i wasnt more organised about this, it wasnt planned and was only really to see what amount of people were interested. hopefully have the prices for the first lot sorted within a week, the new design could be a fair bit longer.

i will have a think about a smaller kind of axe like robin said and then see what you think after i have drawn up a rough design.

if this thread could be made so that no more posts could be made but people can still view it that would be good.

thanks!

From the look of it, the original idea is like my cegga?

Personally I'm not going to join the list as I think a group buy from a craftsman like this is a daft idea but I'm interested in seeing the other designs develop. A trade hawk would be interesting, as is Robins carver.

 

[Lynx]

That sounds fine Scorpio. No worries mate who hasn't look back on something in life and thought they would do it differently next time around! We've all been there. Lol

This one works pretty well too Danny

Now that is my kind of hawk, add a hammer poll, and it would be what i want.

Okay, Jordan has asked that the thread be closed, but left open to view, until he can sort out the assorted ideas, etc.,

I'm tempted to ask why doesn't Cegga just join as a Maker and simply have fun making what he'd like and sell them here ?

cheers,
Mary
