Doc,
A partial listing of plans appeared in a previous post. This is a poll to determine what % of that list will be seriously considered.
Sam and I are well on our way digitizing original plans for proper fit and finish upgrades with little to no make-to-fit as possible.
Gone are days when builders would put up with... "Take block A and carve/sand it to match a side and top down plan drawing."
.

OK then, looking at the two lists you posted you run up the alphabet to the letter J. Are you saying there's nothing beyond that? I have a very narrow field of what interests me as you know and there are possible two in the posted lists. So there's no reason for me to choose what Id like to see as those two really arent of much interest. I'll just wait and see if anything comes of this. Color me skeptical.

Doc,
The list is an extract from an Excel file which automatically indexed it alphabetically.
This is not an exercise in wood butchering a set of plans. Literally anyone with a scanner and laser cutter can do that
then suffer the consequences when the buyer vents on the internet.
14 years ago I persued Jack's plans before his passing and the discusting chain of events "immediately" thereafter.
I acquired my "portion" of plans from Jack's daughter with permission to adjust as necessary to bring each up-to-date
incorporating methods & hardware avaiable at time of selling complete assembly kits...key words, complete assembly
kits.
Neither I or Sam want disinterested persons posting meaningless entries in our poll. It should not matter to anyone
who's interests are not within the range of choices in the poll. Poll listing is a partial of Jack's 260+ designs.

Yes... I'd like to see a full list before voting. Please pardon me but nothing on the posted list strikes my fancy.

We are not taking requests outside the yet-to-be-offered list of complete assembly kits. We are simply adding
Jack Lynn Bale designs to our catalog. We do intend to accommodate requests for enlarged kits larger thanwhat we offer enlarged on the website. This thread is intended to further refine the Jack Lynn Bale designs we will offer for sale. All this did not begin last week. Details of our offerings begin on page 1 of thread. If listings in our poll are not someone's cup of tea...participating in MAC's poll would be a waste of time. Sam and I are interested in sincere opinion, not simply throwing darts at a list of Jack Lynn Bale's scale plans. After all, this is to assist us in deciding what to offer.

Ed. You might get the answers you are looking for if you would post a Full list of all the plans.
How can anyone tell what they are interested in if they don't know what plans are available?
Not everyone will buy, or are interested in a kit. Many of us prefer the challenge of building from plans.
You have great opportunity to sell those plans and maybe some parts as well, but that is not going to happen until a list of all those plans is available. JMTC. Alan

Early in this thread I explained why this poll was created. I understand a desire to know all the plans so you may select a
plan or kit from the entire list. Somehow, my saying we don't have time to piecemeal cut kits is misunderstood. We will
sell plans and kits in multiple sizes.
A: Plans drawn by Jack Lynn Bale will be sold as they were originally drawn from our entire list of plans.
B: MAC adjusted and or enlarged Jack Lynn Bale plans and kits will be sold in adjusted sizes published on a yet to be website.
C. The exception to "B" is contracted (customer requested enlargement %) kits and or plans selected from MAC adjusted plan list.
As we process votes from poll selections we will list additional plans in a subsequent poll. As stated earlier in this thread there will
be a size poll when the final plan types have been chosen by MAC from poll results.

Then all this is a waste of time for many of us. If you want to know what kits people would be interested in, you have to let them see the full list, not just some that you have Pre selected. Signing off.
