Foxfold Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) I have met the nicest of people since I arrived in the Village and today I met another one. I'd seen a gentleman making a bandsaw box on YouTube and thought it was the sweetest thing and I'd like to try and make it. So I found his website and bought a 'download' of 4 patterns. Imagine my disappointment when the box I'd seen him make wasn't on the 'download', I'd bought the wrong one. So I emailed him told him what I'd done and asked if there was anyway I could get the pattern I liked. Well, he emailed me back and explained that the box he had made was in his ''book' not on the 'download' And guess what ??? He emailed me the 8 patterns that are in his book, which includes the one I liked. How amazingly generous was that !!! I'm stunned. There are some lovely scrollsawyers out there in the world and they make the most friendly bunch it's been my priviledge to meet. This gentleman doesn't know me from Adam yet makes such a kind gesture.

I met him once at a Woodworking in America when it was in Winston-Salem. He IS a very nice guy. Foxfold and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Sounds like a great person to deal with.. This is how I go about treating customers on my website.. Going the extra mile for someone makes you a return customer and or at least someone talking about how nice of a person to deal with.. Just as you have done here.. now everyone here might possibly see something they like just from you posting the situation... Not ALL sales people are greedy and only see the $$ sign.. some are extra nice and go an extra mile to and see the extra $$ later on down the road.. if not.. then at least make a new friend etc. so to speak..

Foxfold Posted March 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) You are quite right Kevin, I would have no hesitation in recommending him to all my scrolling friends. Well actually I just did, the village people here are the only 'scrolling' friends I've got But I've told all my 'dog' friends, of which I have many, about him too, so hopefully his name will go far and wide. And if you too, treat your customers like this then I take my hat off to you Sir, there are not enough 'good people' in the world we live in and I wish you well for many, many years xx Edited March 24, 2019 by Foxfold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Brenda - I bought his book and have made a few of them, including that “Chicago” box. I really like that one. I previously posted pictures of the first two I made. They are in this thread: https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/topic/32407-first-boxes-i-have-made/?tab=comments#comment-363644 I have since made 3 more from the book including the Chicago box and have another that is glued up that I need to cut. I really need to post my pictures of the last ones I have done. Been procrastinating on them while I did other things. You will enjoy making them. I look forward to seeing what you create. I will try to get photos of the most recent ones done posted tomorrow. Edited to add links to the most recent patterns I did from David's box including the "Chicago box" - https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/topic/33097-some-recent-projects-i-have-done/ Edited March 25, 2019 by meflick Typos and to add a link Foxfold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
