When Chris wrote about my Knew Concepts saws, you knew that he had personally bought it. When I heard that he was interested in the saws, I had offered to send him one for trial, but he refused.

In the same vein as Consumers Reports, he maintains a distance from the manufacturer that is unassailable.

I believe that Chuck Bender uses these guys quite a bit. It is a long time family owned manufacturer and retail. http://www.ballandball-us.com/. Just may be another good alternative and I have no affiliation whatsoever. Fred

Rather than paying “full retail”, I think you should have worked out a deal with the hardware supplier.
After all, just think how many people are going to be making this chest and the resulting sales the hardware supplier will be getting! At $800 per chest, who knows how many they will sell! And I’m willing to bet that there will be plans available for purchase in some future edition of the magazine as well!
Regards,
Bob

So the retail price of a single completed chest is North of 2k?
