Hi all. Anyone ever tried to contact Sjoberg? I can't find a customer service number or a web site in English that starts with 'Sjoberg'.
I just bought the 1660 at Woodcraft and assembling it last night there is one bolt that holds the stretchers to the legs that I can not get the nut started on, as in threads are screwed up. The nut is special, as in it has some prongs, ala tnuts, to grab hold of the wood in the strecther side. All of the nuts were good as I tested them on the other 3 good bolts. If it wasn't metric and the nuts weren't special, I would have just re tapped it.
I wouldn't mind going to the local Ace HW store to get a replacement carrigae bolt, but I would rather have the problem fixed by a UPS box showing up at the house. BTW, the Woodcraft store said to call them back if I couldn't find the Sjoberg contact info.
I was hoping a fellow creeker may have had to contact Sjoberg in the past.
Thanks,
Dave
