I was on a waitlist for hallett kept asking where I was in the queue, always a month away. Gave up sending emails in the end.
Some frames are quicker and easier to make than others. But Richard Hallett goes at the pace that Richard Hallett goes at.

On Nov 1st 2022 he sent this. This was after telling me he was 6 months away on April 21st 2022. I was told in May 2021 that I’d be waiting around 12 months.Some frames are quicker and easier to make than others. But Richard Hallett goes at the pace that Richard Hallett goes at.
Hi Dave
You're currently sixth from the top, so I hope to get to your build early in the New Year.
Hope this is OK for you - I'll be in touch again when you are in penultimate place.
Cheers
Richard

Bob Jackson is also back up & running, although not the same premises (or people, maybe...,)Bob Jackson and Ellis Briggs haven't been in business for a while. AFAIK anyway.
Bob Jackson is now a brand name that woodrup uses.Bob Jackson is also back up & running, although not the same premises (or people, maybe...,)
If I was told 3 years when it was booked in that would be fine. Some contact would be fine. I’ve only ever had an update once asked and haven’t heard anything for 9 months when it was originally supposed to be built years ago.Yeah, and people slow down as they get older....
Possibly best to say nice frames, but not for people who need one in a hurry.
That is just poor service. No wonder you walked away, no frame is worth that wait imo.On Nov 1st 2022 he sent this. This was after telling me he was 6 months away on April 21st 2022. I was told in May 2021 that I’d be waiting around 12 months.
