I made the choice not to string things out any longer as it was a vanity project. Again, please don't confuse my experience with the OP's - as far as I'm aware there is no connection.

    Big Bird needed a place to vent, understandably.

    Yes, reading it back I didn't make it explicitly clear and should have. Apologies. I can categorically say it wasn't the company in question.

    Ive spoken to chris who has apologised and says he’s over run with work. He’s offered me a full refund but who else would I get to build me a plinth of that quality in the next 2 months? There won’t be many

    I think that the type of plinth you are after takes time and skill.
    Those with the skills to make these are in demand and have waiting lists for the work.
    I think it is one of those instances where you are just going to have to be patient...

    The only other option I can see would be to borrow or buy something as a stop gap.

    Thanks I have messaged bob but no reply yet and Russ built my last one but I couldn’t get hold of him around the time I ordered the Plinth so I went with Woodsong.

    As you say they are both probably very busy so I doubt they could make one before the Woodsong completion anyway.

    Yeah I appreciate that , but I’ve been on the waiting list for months now . I wouldn’t have minded if he’d said 6 months from the get go as I could have held on to my LP12 longer but now I’m stuck without a TT as I was told January as a finish date.
