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 :D )

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! :D

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

[JonathanD]

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 :)

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:
http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59500&highlight=cegga+v
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.

[_scorpio_]

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.

[bikething]

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.

[bikething]

i have asked him and i have said i will go no further with this until i discuss it with him.

That's not what you said earlier :p

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 :p
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 :D

[Dougster]

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 .:grouphug:
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 :cool:
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 :eek:

[Trunks]

Yipeeee - possibly maybe :)

I can see the possibility of a fab Crimbo prezzie......:cool:

I adore the two I have - I ordered a very small one once but it was too small for me. My fault - fit and finish were sublime.

My larger one took a 14 inch diameter dead standing oak down for firewood with ease.

Strangely for an unfit thing like me it wasn't that hard.

Why not have a hybrid of hawk / beard?

Somthing like the Gotland Axe...a bit like this....

http://www.ragweedforge.com/23v.jpg

[Cegga]

I can not say what kind of axe you want
I can only say if i can do it
So you need to talk it over and then we see if i have the skill to make it

The least of anyones problems is your skill my friend :)

[man_of_tanith]

*cough* nessmuk style axe *cough* just a thought

They are the best axes I have held. I would like one of each style.....

Yes-Yes-Yes. Maybe a tad larger on the stem but thats very sweet , always wanted a useful Tomahawk.

[korvin karbon]

me please. small forrest axe style, but with the cegga flair style (dont ask me what that means, just means i know you know axes better than me !!!)

[kimba]

I am in the market for a new AXE count me in on this as well.

I also liked the one Dougster linked.

[JonathanD]

I don't want one.......

How many do you want?

[British Red]

More a question of "already got"....

Mic made me the first of those as a wedding present :)

Yeah, you have far too many, if indeed, you can ever have too many.

[British Red]

You can

sadly I'm probably going to have sell a few things off soon.......

[_scorpio_]

he doesnt want a sfa cegga style, the hybrid hawk is being considered a bit though. its all down to cegga though, if he says he can do it we will see what the interest is like for one.
i will most likely get a lot of the cegga sfa's done (these ones http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59500&p=722604#post722604 ) because they look real nice and are a good useful axe that most people will have a use for. these, i presume, are what most people would be looking for when considering buying a decent axe.

however, lots also have these allround axes so the more interesting designs like the tomahawk should mean that most people will be interested in something.

i was wondering, how many people are (like me) thinking of getting one as a xmas present and who isnt really bothered and just wants a nice axe (or two)? i cant imagine how long it must take to make one of these axes so it might be a case of a few, or none, will be ready for christmas, and because a new design is being suggested this might take a little longer in the design and testing process (i would be worried about how thin that beard is, and the last thing cegga needs are axes coming back!).

thanks for your support everyone! i hope to get dates and prices on here very soon, but just to see who is interested for now (wont hold you to anything you say, just to get a rough number of who is interested) lets make a list. *

the list is for who is interested in getting one of these: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59500&p=722604#post722604 i will do a list for any other axes that might come into the group buy later.

*the "first come first serve" list will be done when i have all the prices and dates on here, because people might not want to put there name down for something which them may not be able to afford/dont want to wait too long

I know the feeling. Found myself with five/six Deval Bushcrafters with another two on the way. That's way more than I need for a lifetime, but not more than I want :lmao: Decided to stick to three-ish.

right, i will leave it a day or 2 to see if others have any suggestions, but if cegga can do the hawk that is looking like my second group buy option. might have to wait a little longer for it though and if here is a specific design (like head weight and beard length etc) that most people want that would be a useful bit of info too.

Just a thought, it might be useful to put up pictures of the axes you are referring to eg. hawk... - number them and let people choose their preferred model - the one with the highest order count gets picked.

Some more info on the Gotland axe can be found here

I think it would be great to have a piece of living history made by a master such as Cegga with this sort of heritage. If you look at some of Robin Woods posts, similar designs are still used by Japanese craftsmen

[redneck]

Nearly all of us who frequent the woods on a regular basis will already have a "standard" shaped axe or hatchet, so I think a more original design like a tomahawk or the Gotland axe would have more appeal and attraction, especially as it's made by Cegga, so I'm in on this depending on final design.

Can anybody make up a couple of designs and post them so we can all get an idea of what is potentially available??

[Shewie]

What about asking Cegga what he's happy to make, he must have a pretty varied portfolio we could choose from.

Unless he wants to try something new of course.

I must admit I'm looking for a good solid user rather than something to hang on a wall and look at.

[Roe Ring]

Having just looked at dozens of Cegga axes on BB, they are stunning. I would be interested in a small camp axe type design if that was available.

Luckylee, all you do is highlight the list from the last post and copy it (right click on highlighted bit and select copy, or Ctrl + C) then paste the list (right click and select paste, or Ctrl + V) into a new reply and add your name to the bottom.

I would like the SFA beater or a general camp axe style.

But again would like to let Cegga choose which style he would like to do as all of his work looks great.

I'd be up for one if it is the first one that was shown along side the SFA. I'm not in a particular hurry so if other folks need them for Xmas or other specific dates I'm happy for them to jump in ahead of me.

well, one of them doesnt exist yet, i havent mentioned prices or dates, and there are still loads of people interested!
thanks a lot guys, i will update you on the viking hawk one if cegga doesnt metion it on here first. i hope he can do it becaus eit seems to be attracting more interest than the other one.

the viking thing looks good but i am wondering whether it would be better if the axe head was straight along the top rather than curving downwards. a bit like this one: http://www.wealddown.co.uk/images%20shop/4903LE%20axe.jpg

anyway, its up to you lot and cegga.

Not only does it look good, it performs as good as it looks. It was made to work, and it has, you can tell that if you ever get to see it, its not a draw queen, but a proper working axe that will earn its keep.

well, depending on how fast cegga can make these things, i was thinking of doing them in groups of 30... and theres 30 on the list ... however i will see if anyone drops out when prices are agreed and we will see how many he can do.#

continue :D

[gorilla]

i think we are at the stage where a more concrete design and price are needed

[_scorpio_]

absolutely, however i need cegga for that.
anyone got any particular preferences for the hawk?

This would do very nicely ...

mm.. i did have a little think about damascus... much bigger price tag though.
that hawk in damascus... mmmm....

[gorilla]

personally, i'm not interested in the Hawk - it is not a good useable axe - nice on a wall or to add to your collection, but not a great user imo. this is why we need a poll, else we'll be going round in circles

Not sure if 31 is too many? But I'm in pending confirmation of design :)

yeah, he is the one who suggested it, i wouldnt mind having a look too though ;) :D
i dont think we need a poll really, the comments are pretty decisive on the two kinds of axe wanted.
will the new design of axe take longer to produce than the other?
any idea on prices? i know the new style axe will need to be made first but the other should be ok to calculate at the moment because you have made them before.
should i stop the list now or let it run, at this rate there could be 50 on the list by tomorrow...

I've been surprisingly retiring about joining this GB. I've wanted a Cegga axe for a while now, but funds have the better of me at the moment.

Does anybody have any idea about timescales? I'd be in for this (or perhaps a later one?) if I have a little while to save. January maybe.

I'd love an SFA-style and a hawk by Cegga.

Of course mate, not a problem at all. I think that Gotland axe will make a stunning useable axe - light weight, long cutting edge. A piece of living history too.

How about a carving axe, something like the second one down in the picture at the top of this page::

http://countryworkshops.org/Store.html

From what I understand this is also based on an original viking axe. I've seen it in lots of books on woodcarving, but have never managed to find one for sale.

It looks like a handy size for a small camp axe

TBH, I haven seen one of Cegga's axes that I dont like.

RR

[_scorpio_]

yeah, im not sure though, bit too like the GB sfa, whereas the other kind is more unique.
if you want other designs made, pm cegga.
red, are you taking charge of the gotland ones then (i mean obviously you know what your doing with the design, but are you doing that side of the group buy too)?

[JonathanD]

I like this.. simple, clean and obviously Cegga... perfect.

Scorpio, I'll let you take care of the GB - I've served my time on them :). Lets let Cegga make up a prototype and I'll photograph it and use it some and do a write up. I might ask Lou1661 / Dougster / QDanT / Jon D if they want to come over to the cottage and we can all contribute to a write up

Red

[Roe Ring]

Hi _scorpio_

The second one doesnt have Cegga's trademark shaped head, it was more the size that apealed to me.

Just to clarify, is the GB going to consider two types of axe? if so, are they going to be an FSA type and the gotland type? apologies if I have this all wrong.

Thanks

Is the plan to put forward a range of axes for us to individually make a choice or are you simply planning to come with a couple and hope the majority want that type? Personally I would like a small forest axe. How about asking Cegga? If it's just as easy for him to make several different types from his standard range as it is for him to make lots of the same type then maybe that will suit everyone. Does this make sense? Better that everyone is happy and catered for if Cegga can do so surely?

[naefearjustbeer]

I might be interested in a small axe for my back pack but as this is the first I have seen of these axes (and I think they look fantastic) I am a bit worried about price. I dont want to put my name forward if it is going to be out of my pocket money range. Could someone (Via PM if they want) let me know ball park figure for something like that?

Joined a year ago but not contributing much on here, can I join this GB too? Always want to try one of Cegga's axe :).

[v-ness]

am i allowed to do it though? i will be doing it through my dads accounts because of age

Just read back over the post to see if theres some sort of consensus of the top 2 or 3 axe styles and noticed I missed this one before. That could be a problem legally, even if your Dad's ok with this scorpio. Would it be easier if Cegga set up a Paypal account just for this buy and we pay the gift on it? Or would that make too much work for Cegga? :confused: Just a thought.
Do you guys think this would be a good time for a poll? A Hawk/ Gotland, the now famous picture one :p and a similar design smallish axe.
That would give Cegga an idea of numbers for each and maybe a rough idea on costs for us?
Doing a master copy of the hawk is probably a good idea, the other 2 are more straightforward in design and should be ok for an order without a master :D

Cheers
Ness :-)

[redneck]

Agreed, I think decisons need to be made and this finished off very quickly before we end up with a dozen different axe types and a hundred prospective participants...over to you Scorpio!

Agreed but could we see some pics of the three? selected with measurements and then when known the costs; or at least pm costs to all concerned?

[British Red]

I suspect, unless we go with an axe Cegga has made before, dimensions, prices and pictures are all up for debate just now. When I did the group buys, we used one model (which we knew the dimensions of etc. as Cegga made the original to my design). Until Scorpio / Cegga settle on a design, make and test a prototype, these can't be known. This will be a long process so we all need to be patient - this is one guy, creating something unique to a high quality at a low price.

I used to be fairly "tight" on the process. When Cegga found time to make a batch, I put a post up and it was "first come, first served" - might seem officious but it meant that we avoided all the "is it ready yet" debates, also meant that no-one disappeared, dropped out etc.

I'm sure Scorpio will work out his own way of doing this stuff - but bear in mind that a large number of custom axes, made in someones spare time is not an overnight process

Red

[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

[British Red]

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 ?

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 -

[Lynx]

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

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

[QUOTE=British Red;778123]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
