The Nomad From Morwood

I just hope we see them before the end of the calendar year. I’ll be honest, so much time has passed since I paid for this thing that I’m not even super excited for it anymore. I kinda just forget it exists for the most part.

If I were Dan, I would probably stop doing the Nomads. It clearly takes way too long to make these things. Waiting four years after paying for something is just not very tenable IMO.

Paid 3.5 years ago and in Batch 3… still hoping he keeps building a little bit longer… just saying’

I hold out hope still that Dan decides to work more exclusively on the Nomad II for a while to at least take care of waiting customers who have paid. Can’t say I have an idea of how long it would take… but I have to think it would be a huge relief to finish those and start fresh

Really, we’ve waited this long, it’s not like I want it right now. I do wish that we would occasionally get an heads up at least, even just a “hi.” As things stand now, with Feb being the last completion date we had heard having come and gone, and Toads seeming to be in active production, it’s the silence that bothers me. I don’t think some communication, even telling us it’s going to take even longer, is too much to ask. I’ve been very supportive of Dan.

I paid back in June 2021 for a batch three unit. Number 123 . I know for a fact that the block of woo is sitting on his shop. I know for a fact that this piece will get made and I think I'm the very last nomad ii order that paid. That being said, I received an update in March saying he was finishing up with batch 2 etc. I do agree that it seems unfair that toads keep coming out but the mama gotta make money. And the raids don't have convex sides making it MUCH easier to machine both the metal and wood parts. He's said countess times how much easier the toad design is to make. So that explains the consistency of toad production.

As for us nomads, I think he bit off more than he can chew and that's ok. If you paid, don't worry. I believe you are getting your vape. Maybe in 2028 but you'll get it. If you haven't paid, consider a toad before complaining about the expected wait times. It's functionally the same, much more available, and cheaper too. I wouldn't be surprised if he transitions to only working on toads once he clears out his backlog.

I’m not upset about wait times. I’m not even upset about continued Toad production, which, however easier to produce it may be, of necessity takes time that could be spent finishing batch 2. And I understand, as people have said, he’s got to eat. I also understand that the Toads are more fun to make. What I am upset about is the lack of transparency and communication regarding the status of Nomad production. Dates are missed in silence, email updates are few and far between, and maybe the device needs to be renamed the Albatross.

Hi guys,

With the lack of news over the past months, does anyone else think we will never see this Batch 2 come to fruition? I'm starting to doubt this batch will ever be made and shipped out.

Do we know if Dan is still alive?

I emailed a few weeks ago asking about my toad order and I heard he had a nasty fall recently and hurt his right shoulder. Sounds like everything is delayed since he’s having to slow down during the recovery

thank you for the news from the Creator!

if that's true, well, @Dan Morrison , I wish you a good recovery. It must be so frustrating not to have all your physical means when you are nearing your goal...


good luck and take care of yourself!

But seriously, at least we know FOR SURE we're getting a Nomad II.

I guess batch 3 did pay...but at this point we could very well be the last; at least for a LONG while.

Hope Dan recovers quickly.

I won't lie, I'm kind of losing hope of ever seeing these Batch 2 Nomad IIs ever being shipped out.

We're overdue for some good news of any kind, because beside the ever increasing delay, we haven't heard much at all. I never thought I'd still be waiting for this device nearly over 5 years after getting on the waitlist...

I gotta think they’re coming eventually. He’s been working on this batch for a long time, he needs to deliver on it. Batch 3 though, I think that’s a different story.

I agree, though as far as Batch 3 goes, I personally think it will be the last one if he does it at all. I guess since people have already paid he might go forward with it, but I really do not think a Batch 4 will happen.

It’s a weird situation. On the one hand, a number of us paid a not insignificant amount to get one of these, and I’m pretty sure nobody thought it was going to take this long. On the other, I certainly want Dan to provide for his family, so I can’t completely object to the continuing production of Toads. I will admit at times to seeing the new Toads and thinking this is time that could be spent finishing batch 2. I’ve been trying to come to the understanding that the completion of this batch may just never happen. No matter how much money it was, it was spent long ago, and I don’t think I could ever ask for a refund, no matter what the resolution might be. It’s a complex matter.

I really like Dan's work and the person he is, but let's face it, anyone who paid for a Nomad a long time ago can legitimately and shamelessly demand a refund from Dan who, let's not worry, has to make a decent living from his craft.
These unbelievable delays I've read about here are not normal, so I'm sure he'd understand and agree to refund a customer who's tired of waiting, no? Forza batch 2&3!
