I’ll admit...you had me. I was reading and thinking, ****, this guy is slagging one of the manufacturers. He called him a ‘jack hole’!
Than I got to the bottom and saw Just Bill. Well done.

What kind of waiting list does Mr Bill have on his Bridge productions?
It depends primarily upon Sluggo's behavior. Mr Hand has been quite obnoxious this year as well.
This stuff isn't my full time gig, so I run things a bit oddly as a result.
I normally build in batches, and do not take custom orders. Normally the wait is nothing (stock) or 4-8 weeks at peak times.
In exchange- I don't take money either. You just tell me you want one, I put you on a waiting list, and when I have a bridge finished to sell you I let you know.
You pay, I ship.
I am breaking habit with smaller batches to target those who waited longer than normal.
Roughly:
Big Guys are up to October requests
Luxury is caught up and I think there is one Burnt Orange remaining.
Happy Mediums- I had a delay in Carbon Fiber poles and Fabric so I am working on catching those up and clearing that list this month as those folks have waited the longest now.
I'll be on Big Guys and a multi-bridge order from Germany next, so hopefully I will be caught up by the end of the year and mainly back to normal.
Bottom line: If you put in a request today it would likely ship in January.
I did have to drop/suspend all prototype work for the year to catch up so hoping that can resume in Feb/Mar in time to get some spring stuff going.
All depends on my dayjob (commercial construction) which has been dramatically effected this year and messed things up pretty badly fer the old hammock flow.
I was working over 100 hours a week for most of September/October, dropping to 80 or so hours a week through the end of the year so hoping to use all that extra time to clear out the list
All that said- who knows- it's 2020.
