Finally ordered a bell skiver
Good shows this past June so I pulled the trigger on a bell skiver. I used the same manufacturer where I bought my cylinder arm – Jianglong; purchased via their Alibaba store. Here’s the dialogue and timeline so far:
2026-06-27 18:40 – I posted at their communication page: Three good weeks of shows, ready to pull the trigger on the skiver. Please send a current invoice. Thank you
2026-06-27 21:05 Rayna Zou Hi Tony , thanks for your patient I will send you on Monday OK?
2026-06-29 05:14 – Rayna Zou: hi friend you can check the PI, if no problem you can made the payment, and we will prepare machine within 5 days.

2026-07-09 05:07 Rayna Zou Hello, the supplier who made the wooden crates has had some business to attend to; he went back to his hometown from the 8th to the 11th. He is expected to return on Saturday, and we will arrange for the wood packing as soon as possible on Saturday. We are very sorry for the delay!
