You know this sort of frustrates me. I found these sleds about 2 or 3 years ago and when I went to order I got about the same message. We are shut down but will open in the spring.
I forgot about the sled.
Then Reible posted his review about a year or two ago and again I wanted one. Again I went to order one and the again they said they would open again in the spring.
I forgot about the sled.
Now I'm reminded of it again and again they are shut down.
Either they need to post something as a memory jog when they are producing these sleds or they need to keep the shop open.
They say they want to start a business. One thing I know is if you don't have something to sell you can't sell it.

Stay out of trouble!
Stay out of trouble!
Right on Ed!
I have a similar experience with getting one of these sleds.
I've put a reminder on my calendar for Feb. 2009 to check and see if these things are once again available. I'll let you know what I find out.
I'm not sure when I will be in Largo early next year but as I get a better fix on the dates I'll let you know and perhaps we can get together and cry in our beer (or coffee if you prefer) about not being able to get one of these sleds.
If nothing else we can at least swap lies about woodworking. Last time I checked it is sort of like fishing. Most of the big ones (or complex projects) get away but make good stories anyway.

Hi,
Since several people here have missed the window of opportunity to find these I just wanted to let you all know that it is again on ebay.
Item 280310861995
