Hello I'm new to the furum and thought I would try a post

I have developed a wooden garden game which I think is pretty good. Im looking for a bespoke firm or woodworker to manufacture it. Perhaps an initial run of 50 units. I would like to have someone recomend a firm or person that may want to take this project on.

I have a prototype which has been made to a very high standard which I can send to anyone who may be interested.

You can either post a reply or email me in person at mail@sharedental.co.uk

I would also be interested to find out if anyone has had dealings with overseas manufacturers? and if so would they recomend any. Thats if I went into mass production with the game

Any help will be greatly appreciated
regards Nigel

Thank you for the reply. I would be interested in finding out more about what you do .I also would like references and to see examples of your work.This could be photographic images. I would only be willing to except top class workmanship.

Johnep. You do have a piont but I think you will find that the indigenous people of Java didn't have bull dozers, tree felling machinery and very large lorries before Western people arrived on the scene. In other words what they took from the forests was self sustaining 30-40 years ago. I too want to see orang-utans surviving in their original habitat but please don't point the finger of blame on the Javanese.They are only earning a living like you or I

Oneuni

Dear Johnep,
Thanks for your concern of Orang Utan for your favor?
what did you exactly had given or done for these species ? tell me.
I wonder that you do more sympathy to Orang Utan than Homo Sapien=people(Us).
You may feel glad too, that Orang Utan is not in Java island,
They live in another island, Sumatera and Borneo.
To be more precisely, read to the report that I had posted above: Atlas etc. before giving words.
Wonder, to see into your house, is there any wood piece there ?
or all by metal or plastic stuff ? be frank ?
For God shake, what make you so irritated with wood-workers community ? wanna talk about it ?
Just FYI, M-Spencer UK had ordered nearly 1 million Pounds of Mangoes wood furniture from Java ?
Go to M&S with green force and Eco-friends troops, you could protest to them and make a big campaign to UK's not to use/buy it. Ceteris Paribus ...no demanding no supplying,
If you can stop the order than no one making or supply it!
It is very fair in a perspective of collective-crimes to Ecosystem (if you charge it so).
In other words, why you peoples only pointing the finger to us Wood-workers,
why do not you all self introspection to your own self, It is simple Logic thinks,
Stop the order/import/buying than the supply will stop, be cause no one
will making it(use wood) for earn their living. You got the point John Ep. ?
Is it fair or not ? read more at my blog! you will know better for the clues.
left down page you will find FSC ..if you know what it is stand for? again read more!
Cheers up John

Hi Nigel, if you did read my blogs you could figure out of what I am doing,
For references, indeed I could send it to you only that we already make a deal,
The works, again if you see into the blog, all the pictures there are what we had made so far.
Surely, we will send you some pictures/video.
top class workmanship, be confident Nigel, we had been in wood-working for more 15 years.
exporting to overseas, if you are in UK, you may be know Wickes DIY or BYO chain stores,
Mark & Spencer and Craftsmen Europe. We had made for them wooden furniture, although
the contract order were coming from trading company, actually we are the ones who did the
making samples, sourcing & supply. we will talks more directly via e-mail.
I had tried to send you e-mail, did you received that e-mail ?
will contact you soon. thanks

I don't know what to say, but I feel as if Oneuni has issues with Americans or something

Hi Julian the woodnut, thanks for your saying, I did not have any issues at all, I do respect with what John's opinion, and also grateful for his 'Do Care' to Sumatran
Orang Utan.
Therefore, I seriously response to his concern and trying to say a brief message to him. That:
1. We are working with Sustainable timber sources,
Plantation not rain forest or Sanctuary forest.
2. We do support Eco-friendly or Go green and a
kind of. as like what FSC had intended.
one of this perspective, is by reusing waste wood
or reclaimed wood. trying to reduce the using of
fresh cut wood/trees.
3. Nevertheless, The Orang Utan's habitat is in other
island among hundreds island of Indonesian
archipelago. Not in our island, Java.
But anyway Julian, it is better talk about woodworking .....okay
Cheers ...

Hi Oneuni,
Thanks for the information you may have sent but Ive had problems with my e-mail account some emails not being delivered. I would appreciate you sending any images etc to mail@sharedental.co.uk again please.

I am a little bit perplexed as to why Julian thinks you have issues with Amerians. You have not even mentioned Americans. A case of paranoia perhaps

Streamwinner

Coming from the nation that thinks they own the world and its resources.

mics_54

Odd, I didn't see any "nation" reply to any post.

Streamwinner

Oh, I didn't realize that johnep new that Oneuni was personally destroying the rain forests and harming orangutans. johnep must know him personally and wasn't referring to the fact that he was posting from Indonesia. My bad.

mics_54

I don't believe insulting entire nations and their inhabitants is going to be recieved well no matter how many times its done.

I hope and assume that it was just an attempt at humor which I know is often misconstrued in this medium.

Oneuni

Mics, sure it is, no hard feeling for what Johnep's saying, every one has a freedom to speech "on what in his mind",
as for John Ep's style, he grew up in England and it is typical of Englishmen to say it in 'metaphor and ironic' expression.
these, for some people it would sound as 'little Cynic". depend on they interpretation. We can accept it, no worries.
and for his sympathy to 'Orang Utan', nothing wrong with that, His right to go for it, no objection at all.
What I had directed to him are:1. a more focus projection to the Clues, open up his perspective.
2. it is misaddress for putting the Orang Utan's case on to what we are doing as woodworkers community.
exactly a wrong lane.
Considered it done Mics 54

Oneuni

Another blur projection, your assumption is definitely WRONG, John did not know me at all, not even a tinny dim.
I wonder? how many of you with English-language but not really Comprehensive in English-words as lingua-franca ?
did not you catch my explanatory as been posted above ? it is misaddress, wrong lane track. read it again Streamwinner.

Oneuni

Hi Nigel, it's good to hear you again,
well, your domain is Okay, but the user name address 'mail'? it seem had problem, as the mail server would might filtered it
as 'junk mail' even spam-mail, the keywords 'mail' is not suppose to use as User name, change it with other one, such as NH
or else. anyhow I will try to resend you a test e-mail before thing.
btw, I like your word 'Paranoia' what an expression ..
but I prefer to, emphasizing it as John's Disorientation and Julian and Streamwinner's under average reading-ability. ??

Oneuni

Nigel, talk about the game, tell me more, is it a wooden set of Cricket in a wooden box ?
please send some pictures to javatica@yahoo.co.id

Oneuni

Please Gentlemen,
Better stop of talking Orang Utan and other issues that not in correlation of posting's subject,
Mr Nigel are looking a resource and advise from this forum.
Woodworker > wood working manufacture > wooden garden game ?
other context that out of above 3 keywords subjects, please give a break.
Thank you for paying the attention.

Oneuni

One last thing Nigel, had you open and read it ?
http://woodenfurniturejepara-oneuni....s-in-java.html
If you had seen it, I believe that your Garden Game design is not a big problem to make ?
for yr ref: we could made a nice Teak garden furniture and beach side pieces for Wickes of London DIY or BYO chain stores,
do you know this Wickes store, which is selling housing materials and gardening supply ? check it out.

Streamwinner

I understood. My response was sarcasm.

"Sarcasm is a form of humor that uses sharp, cutting remarks or language intended to mock, wound, or subject to contempt or ridicule, generally saying the opposite of what the statement really is."

I generally do not resort to these types of exchanges (I'm much more the type of person who likes to get along with everyone). Unfortunately, my response was in anger because I really disdain narrow and myopic hypocrisy. It's easy to look at a situation somewhere that is far away and point a finger, but it takes more to look at the more complex and systemic issues, such as how Western nations force trade, and then when the locals play along we criticize them.

I don't apologize for being angry and I don't apologize for speaking truth about what nations have done in the past or are doing currently (and it doesn't follow that speaking truth about a nation insults its inhabitants). I will apologize for attempting to insult, however. It was angry quid pro quo.
