2026 Update

I've had many emails asking where I am and what’s happening with development on kits.

Firstly, thank you to everyone who has sent kind and supportive messages — it really does mean a lot.

Last year was a big hit for us after the De Minimis changes on US borders. This effectively made our kits unobtainable for most US customers, and the US made up almost 90% of our sales. Not to mention to sourcing of supplies, many of which were from the US.

So where are things now?

For the moment, development and production have stopped. Ragpicker's Row remains fully designed and ready for the lasers and printers, and it will stay that way for the foreseeable future.

“Why not just produce it anyway?” — the simple answer is time.

At the end of 2024 I took a big leap and opened a hobby shop in the local town. Thankfully it has taken off like a rocket, but it also absorbs almost all of my time.

Making kits is still a huge passion, and I fully intend to produce Ragpicker's Row (and more) when the time is right.

In the meantime, we have 3 × Oddmunn Brother's Mill kits left in stock. If you’re interested, please email for details.

As a side note: our website has been fixed!

Thank you again for all your continued support.
