Ergo IX PFM purchase

[James]

Will need to get a Vukish photo done of the exotic finishes, like this one.

Look what turned up today. All reasonably flat and split free which is very unusual for burr of any sort but Walnut especially is very prone to tearing and holes. There shouldn't need to be to many repairs once I've softened and flattened it hopefully.

Andrew I might not be able to let these go

I see a grey no entry sign instead of a picture. Permission problems somewhere perhaps?

 

[orangeart]

Odd, I'll take a look. Bloody technology!

Same here

Think I changed permissions, who knows, do they show up now?

The crossover components are winging their way toward me now. I need to sort something out for the drivers though, The supplier wanted 7% to pay by card and the bank want nearly £50 to pay in euros directly. My fault really but I just never thought about this part of the transaction. I think I've got a solution now but won't be able to act on it until Monday.

Should be able to make a start on the some bits next week though.

I still see a grey no entry sign.

Same here. Would love to see some stunning burr walnut. This is just plain sawn.

I'll try a different way then later. I use Google photos and they have been mucking about with it a lot lately.

They are really nice James, are then a photo of your own pair?

Yes they were. This grilled pair now belongs with tof.

My pair is finished in Sapele.

...the bank want nearly £50 to pay in euros directly.

That sounds very expensive - I send euro payments from my sterling HSBC business account online - the HSBC bank fee for a SEPA (Single Euro payments area) payment this way is usually £4.00, plus, occasionally the recipient wants me to pick up local bank charges at their end as well, although I generally take the view on larger orders that it's fair if both parties pay their own charges. You need the recipient's swift code and iban.

ps glad the burr looks good

 

[AndrewM]

ps

If it's still a problem, I could probably send funds through my business account if you have the recipients details - let me know if that would help.

 

[orangeart]

Hey Andrew, thanks for the offer, I've paid them now using a transfer service. I think in the future I'll just set up a euro account and keep some cash in their once there is a little more flow through the business.

I'll try and re add those burr photos in a minute.

A lightweight method might be a Caxton euro card; I've used the US Dollar equivalent. It a pre-paid debit card, which means you convert the currency at a known exchange rate in advance.

This one working?

I can see it.

 

[orangeart]

great, I can't!! I'll post some more. All the photo hosting sites I use seem to have stopped providing a direct .jpg link for pasting into forums. Guess they think everyone is using FB and twitter

That's kind of what I have done only with a trading account. The biggest problem was finding one that would work with a small business transferring less than about £250k

Google photos is crap for sharing IME. I tend to use Post Image.

I can't see any of your images Stefan.
