So... how many TIMES have you done a POY deal?RadDavis wrote:Buntcha chickenshits.

Unless it's two or more, you're just tryin' to get some mileage out of having made the mistake yourself.

The most recent were Neill Roan's PFP POY for 2012, the P&T POY for 2013, and the latest was Briar blues POY for 2013. So, Mr. Smartypants, that's 2 for 2013 alone.
They are a good chunk of business for me.

Re: Stummel Templates
I am seriously impressed. Even as agreeable, soft-spoken, warm, fuzzy, and lovable as I am, I can't imagine dealing with all the special case pleading, last minute spec changes, payment games, and so forth that you POY guys have to deal with.RadDavis wrote: I've done at least one per year since around 2004.

Although I now recall telling the world back in 2006 that you were the Human Frazing Machine based on measurements taken from a pair of your Belges I bought back then, so I shouldn't be surprised, I guess. POY's are the perfect application of such a freak talent.

Special case pleading, last minute spec changes, payment games, and so forth are things up with which I will not put.

Once upon a time, a book editor clumsily rearranged one of Winston Churchill’s sentences to avoid it ending in a preposition, and the Prime Minister, very proud of his style, scribbled in reply: “This is the sort of bloody nonsense up with which I will not put.” The world of grammatical humor has been richer ever since. Nice job, Rad.

Re: Stummel Templates
I declined a couple of POY or Club pipe commissions due to the fact that I am part time in pipe making and I have no plans of ever going full time. In my opinion it is too much of a commitment to do unless you are full time AND very well versed in production and efficiency, and it also takes away from those that are full time and need the steady reliable work.

Re: Stummel Templates
I have done several small batch production pipes and that was enough for me. No way I would take a 50+ POY. It's ok though because on the few crazy occasions I did quote for them no one was willing to pay what I wanted, they all wanted something around the $100 mark
Re: Stummel Templates
Or if you're very lucky, $150! Once bitten, must be a very good deal if I do it again.
