Am in love with a German Film Star.

[shavey]

yes it does look a good compact set up

[Stompy]

Go on tell us who makes it then.............

[Daniël Bos]

Am I right in thinking these are produced seasonally.....:sneaky2:?

[difflock]

Not the foggiest idea.

Might be.

I surmise a new "line" from an otherwise long established firm.

Getting on the WoodMizer bandwagon perhaps?

Which is possibly why WM told me they were introducing some "special" deals later this year.

(i) No factory/factory visit. only a small "in-transit" warehouse, so is there stuff built in Croatia? (a few Croatian staff about)

(ii) My english speaking engineer, Boris, was Croatian, with good English, but limited understanding of the gutteral Saxon German.

(iii) The saw they took me to see, a good 2hr trip on the Autobann away, was rarely used:001_huh:, not cutting properly (a werry wavy cut)

AND; the owner insisted we look at his WoodMizer LT40, which they used full-time.

Which he enthused about:lol:!

Hmmm?

And,

The owner of the factory admitted to only producing about 50 of these saws over 10 years, not popular, because "probably" not road legal to tow in Germany, behind a car???

BUT

The Saw I went to view does have "proper" all steel crowned:thumbup: bandwheels (of cast or drop forged spoked construction)

Which I had imagined I had seen in the rather low resolution photographs.

 

 

:confused1:Hmmmmmm?

Half of the Croatian population live and work in Germany, good cheap labour for ze Germans.

 

Never heard of any bandsaw mills be manufactured over here although a lot of Croatians make their own...... pretty lethal looking things usually run off of old car engines and using parts from the thousands of industrial sawmills that were scattered across Yugoslavia.

 

Sounds like an interesting trip, good marketing technique him showing you his LT40

I did not flinch in informing Herr Wotsisname, the owner of the company I was visiting, of the enthusastic nature of the praise for the WoodMizer.

By the guy we had driven 2 hrs to visit.

Who was the nearest owner of the blockbandsage, produced by Herr Wotsisname, that I was interested in buying.

Who had very clearly not been questioned about his views on the product we were going to see.

PS

Waiting for Herr Wotsisname's price tomorrow.

but now at least well positioned to play hardball in my negeotiating.

A very good swartz beir produced locally.

I could not resist taking a photograph of the isle of beer in the small shop next door to where I was staying, the full length of the shop, which was about twice as long as it was wide.

Am fer taking an empty 7.5 tonner the next time I am out.
