RE: Olde Tyme Carpetmills New Life

Primitive do you have any pics or videos of that jenny ? your turntable looks simple yet very affective same with your carpetmill, But I really like your carpetmill, either way great tools to work a dog.

 

How would I get a carpet mill from you p.e

 

P.s. how much your carpet mills cost

 

I haven't used the flying jenny in some time. The thing is ginormous, when it gets going it can actually sling the dog off his path. I like the jenny, but, it's not as easily useable as the carpetmill, or the turntable. I stick to what works best for me and my methods of conditioning. Primitive Supply

 

My carpet mill is $500.00. The price is not bad, However; if you have to pay shipping it runs the overall cost a little high. I live in N.W. Florida. Not far from Tallahassee. PM me for the Phone #

 

LMAO @ $500.......lol, your proud of that thing aint ya!

 

How much does shipping normally cost from fl to hou. tx

 

My record of winning goes back to the mid 70s. I've matched into the best during the hayday of matching dogs. You couldn't go to a match that I either wasn't matched in or had one of my dogs matched in. THAT carpetmill has well over 100 wins on it. To say I'm proud of it is a little arrogant on your part. When you start puting up you videos of what you have built regarding carpetmills, turntables, etc. maybe you have a say in this other wise your just aperson looking for a fight.

 

@ frankDublin: the cost to Texas is around $300.00. That's just a guess, I would have to get a quote to give you an exact price.....best regrds Primitive Supply

 

A lot People don't appreciate the amount of hard work and effort that goes into making a mill or any kind of equipment used for the conditioning of these animals, as soon as you do make something all the experts are there waiting to criticize it. I've made slat mills and can honestly say that the only reason I'll ever make another is because I enjoy it because If I was actually to charge people enough to cover my time as well as the price of materials the cost would be astronomical.

 

Thanks for sharing ur videos

 

Your supplies are indeed very primitive.

 

how do you figure, even with the high cost of lumber you can build a quality carpet mill for roughly $250

mr bulldog sells quality carpet mills for roughly $300-350 that dont wobble or nothing.....

hell, my buddy builds em for 500 but atleast those are steel frames and last a lifetime.....

charge what you like, but dont try to justify hustlin with false expenses..... if people ask why so high, just say..."cuz i can!" lol

 

lmmfao ..........

 

lol id buy slims mill before the OP's LOL.............

 

I'm not justifying anything, if it cost $250 to make and you sell it for $500 you make $250 for your time and skill, your hardly going to become a millionaire. I'm not debating what people earn because if others want to cut them selfs short that's there business, I'm simple pointing out the fact that sometimes it's not worth your while selling things for less than the hassle involved in making them.

 

Those Bearings are very costly not to mention the deck. It is a very expensive piece of material. (I won't say what it is, trade secre,you can't buy it at Lowes) Then there is the labor involved. I actually have about $350.00 in my mills, then the rest is labor. Regarding my carpet mill it will last a lifetime. I'm still using the same one after 30 years. If I charge $350.00, then I'm doing my labor for free. I suppose most of you would like it if I didn't charge for my labor. You would figure you got a good deal and so you would, but, what about the builder?

 

@HOBO83: You nailed it with that statement. I totally agree with you. There isn't a dog conditioning device that I haven't built. There are only a few that really have the experience to appreciate that. Primitive Supply
