And hopefully he will have my third Schick arm ready when I see him in two weeks. This is for a Gates CB500.
I'm selling my trusty SME 3012s...not even in the same league and going all Schick with my main TTs. Hope to have enough change from the sale to pick up a Jelco 12" also. Can't afford Schicks for all of my experiments!
My 9" Jelcos, present and past, are "good enough" but smeared and a bit dull next to the Schick. Same with the SMEs.
Steelhead Mike, I know the wait is killer but I'm willing to insure your purchase with one of my personal Schick arms. I'm only risking that because I know he would never rip anybody off. Totally good guy. Slow but good.
He has been working furiously installing modern heating and plumbing in his old farmhouse and finishing a barn as a well-equipped workshop. I was there, in the winter. Very cold in Eastern Germany! Insulation would be nice!
Thomas is my friend, and I love using things made by friends, but the long Schick is really super for compliance 10 and under, SPU and DL103s specifically, my main cartridges. A specialized tool, it is not for everybody or every application, but for 2g plus VTF, low compliance it is totally dialed in. Set and forget. No fishing line, springs, silicone oil, outrigger weights, etc. My kind of arm.
These arms are handmade by Thomas working alone. I would be surprised if he can make more than 4 or 5 a week working full time with a gun to his head.
