Jungli BainsJackets from Butch Harefield.
Has anybody received any jackets from Butch lately? He recently obtained some new equipment to speed up production.
Also, does anyone have any experience with Malcolm Bone's cups from Australia?

HELLO MARTIN
I JUST SHIPPED OUT FRIDAY YOUR ORDER FOR THE .366 / .375 / .458 JACKETS. THEY SHOULD BE THERE BY THE 26
I MUST APOLOGIZE FOR HOW LONG IT HAS TAKEN ME AS I AM REALLY LATE ON THIS. WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS I AM IN THE PROCESS OF UPGRADING MY EQUIPMENT FROM THE HYDRO PRESSES TO REGULAR PUNCH PRESSES AND BEING A ONE MAN SHOW HEAR IT HAS REALLY PUT ME BEHIND. I HAD TO GO PICK UP THE PRESSES FROM THE PEOPLE I GOT THEM FROM OR IT WOULD HAVE COST ME MORE FOR THE SHIPPING THAN I HAD PAID FOR THE PRESS. THIS TOOK ME ABOUT 3 WEEKS TOTAL TIME TO GET ALL THE PRESSES HEAR. NOW I HAVE TO START TOOLING THEM UP BUT THAT WILL HAPPEN ONLY AFTER I GET OUT ALL THE ORDERS I AM BEHIND ON KNOW. I AM TALKING TO A COUPLE OF DIE MAKERS HEAR ABOUT MAKING THE DIES FOR THE PRESSES AND SO I MAY HAVE THEM DO IT RATHER THAN DOING IT MY SELF. THE PRICE IS NOT TO BAD BUT IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS IF I DO IT MY SELF IT MIGHT BE ALONG TIME COMING.
RICHARD TOLD ME YOU ARE DOING SOME OF YOUR OWN DRAWING. I HAVE ATTACHED A COPY OF MY RAW MATERIAL I OFFER PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING THIS. ALSO IF YOU DO YOUR OWN TRIMMING I NOCK OFF ABOUT 1-2 CENTS ON THE JACKET DEPENDING ON THE JACKET. JUST OPTIONS I OFFER FOR YOU TO THINK ON.
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE JACKETS
BUTCH

Jungli BainsButch told me recently that small orders of 250-500 cups are best right now. He is getting through his orders, and hopefully his new equipment will speed things up the way he hopes it will.
Pottsy, that's a nice looking hartebeest. Did you shoot it?
