At some point I think David Bowen said a friend of his was making NEW sets in the UK. Did anything come from this? I have a new spare set just in case. It took a lot of effort to squeeze Ray Daniels for them but worth it now.

I think there were some technical issues with getting the forging correct on a major part. I believe that has slowed the project.

I recently had a set re-tubed by Ray Daniels. Not sure if he is still making complete forks.

I can confirm what Greg wrote, Ray Daniels has finally retired and closed shop.
A converstaion I had this week confirms that currently Jake Robbins is forecasting a six month turn around period for anything sent to him now (well at least to the individual I was talking to), knowing the 'pie in the sky' anticipating abilities of lots of UK craftsmen I would realistically expect that quoted six months to only increase.
