Upcoming TV programme and Felder/Hammer bargains

[Blackswanwood]

​ I have received an e-mail from Felder/Hammer advising that they have a batch of machinery for sale which has been used for a forthcomI gotta tv programme. It may be of interest to anyone thinking of making a purchase and wanting a nearly new bargain ... and the mention of the programme is intriguing. A woodworking version of Bake Off? Text of the e-mail is: ​ “We have provided 5x C3-31 Combination machines, 5x N4400 Bandsaws, 5x HS950 Edgesanders and 5x RL125 Clean air dust extractor for an upcoming TV Series. Filming will shortly be completed and these machines will be available for sale at a huge discount and delivery within October! All of the machines will have had minimal use by contestants of the show (Sorry we cannot tell you more at this stage! It's top secret!) Contact us now to take advantage of this massive offer. Machines are offered individually or as a package.” ​ ​ ​

I wouldn't mind one of those bandsaws if they're two or three hundred pounds.......

 

[Prizen]

Anyone have an email address to contact them?

Well that would nearly cover the VAT on the discounted bandsaw

Anyone have an email address to contact them?

The link in the e-mail just goes to the contact form on their website.

"Contestants, you have ten minutes to wreck the machines as much as possible, starting... NOW!"

 

[AJB Temple]

These are second hand machines. I bet those prices are similar to what they supplied them to the TV show for.

 

[Blackswanwood]

I assumed they had been loaned for the tv programme ... possibly part of a sponsorship deal?

There’s a show called “the Chop” coming on to Sky in mid Oct. just like a woodworking Bake Off. But I think filmed pre-lockdown?
