Artificial sinew group buy 2

[Eric_Methven]

Following the success of the first group buy, and the fact there was a waiting list, I'm going to do a second group buy. I'll be ordering 24 rolls, but I'm taking 10 of these for myself to sell at living history fairs later in the year, so there'll be 14 rolls up for grabs.

Because I got hammered for VAT and a Parcel Farce handling fee of £35, the new price per roll will be £14 to reflect the charges I incur.

OK, about the sinew. This stuff comes on a 300 yard roll. It's waxed and is designated as No70 which indicates it's thickness.

It can be split down into eight thin strands (or even finer if you have the patience) so potentially you could have 2400 yards of fine sinew (ideal for dreamcatchers) or any variation depending on how much you split it down. For me, I'll mostly just split it in half so for each roll I'll end up with 600 yds of No35 sinew (ideal for shoes, flasks and tankards).

Cheers Bob. Can I ask new posters not to make a running list. I'll update my list at the top of the page and do a countdown from there. That way there's no confusion with loads of lists.

Eric

[fishy1]

I thought my name was on the waiting list too? Anyways, I'd like one roll please.

[reddave]

and a roll for me too, please.

[Eric_Methven]

OK, just two left. The next two get them. If you are later than this, sorry guys but this is the last group buy I do for these for the next couple of months as I'll be too busy. If the exchange rate is still favourable after then, I might do another.

Eric

[littlebiglane]

[Eric_Methven]

Cheers guys, one more to go.

[PJMCBear]

I'll take it Eric.

[Eric_Methven]

Ok folks, that's the lot. Group buy is now closed.

PM's to follow.

Eric

[Eric_Methven]

You should all have PM's with payment details by now in your inboxes.

Eric

[Indoorsout]

Wow, glad I got in when I did! Paypal sent :)

[Eric_Methven]

Right, the second lot have been ordered and I have just sent the money. So, they'll be on their way tomorrow sometime - should take ten days or so.

If anyone on the list from the original waiting list changes their mind and doesn't want one, I'll just put theirs up on classifieds as a one off.

Eric

[oetzi]

[Eric_Methven]

Right then gentlemen. Your 2nd group buy sinew was all posted out Royal Mail First Class this morning at 9.30am. Most of you should have them by tomorrow. Oetzi, yours might take a little bit longer to arrive.

Let me know when you get them please by adding to this thread.

Eric

[Chopper]

Eric, if you are going to do another one couls you please let me know.

This stuff is the dog bits, I am using it for lots of different things and want a spare roll.

Cheers.

[Eric_Methven]

I guessed this might happen. I think a lot of people will want another one.

I may do another, but not at the moment as I have a lot on right now. I'll post on this forum when I do though.
