I have received an e-mail asking for a quote for a Church lectern / podium:

Podiums:
(7) pieces
Acrylic &Aluminum Podiums.
Podiums

Clear Z-Shaped Podium
Acrylic Lecterns
3/4” thick

what would be the total cost plus tax.Advice the method of payment you accept.Hope to hear from you soon.Have a nice day…

Rev,Ben Johnson

I’ve had e-mails asking for information about lecterns and pulpits before – see Cartoon Blog: Various pulpit news.

As I have been given full particulars including dimensions and materials I will, if time allows, go out to the garage this afternoon and construct the requested items using my saw. If anyone else would like a podium or lectern let me know and I will knock together a couple more while I’m at it.

    Well if you’re diversifying into the church furniture business and offering, I wouldn’t mind a font. Ours is about the size of a flower pot and so not really suitable for its purpose…

    Not a problem Sue. It will be made of old bits of skirting board that I have modified using my saw.

    Is there any indication that the learned Rev, is from Nigeria?

    I’d enjoy a richly decorated pulpit, with little statues of saints decorating the base and John 12:21 carved on the top.

    Joe – no address given, sadly.

    Aaron – Your design sounds like it would be a perfect match for an old wardrobe door I have out there in the garage. I will construct it later. I will once again be using my saw.

    I would like a pulpit with a light that can be turned on and off.

    I need a new one because last week I constructed a saw using my pulpit.

    I guess you realise that it is a scam. We used to get loads of these at SPCK – please send 48 Bibles at £49.99 each to xxx (usually an African state) and we will promise to pay you. Then when you enquired further all they wanted was your bank account details so they could deposit the money… which never happened.

  9. Anne says:

    I’d like one of those lecterns in the shape of an eagle (or great flapping bird), please. It’s coincidental that you’re taking orders, since Pax explained to me in a comment here several months ago that the eagle is the symbol of St. John, the Evangelist.

    I also find myself in need of a bully pulpit. It should be a sort of portable soap box with sides that could be elevated so I would have something to thump and bang on. Something on wheels would be nice, or at least something with a handle.

    I will send you a bona fide check (or cheque) for $50,000. You can pay for the materials and labor out of that, and then send the remainder back to me in cash.

    Anne – I have an old piece of guttering which sounds as if it would be the ideal starting point for your lectern. My saw will come into use once again. Phill – I will make you an illuminated version.

    Mark – No it is my old saw. It is a B and Q value model. It does not get much use under the usual scheme of things, so when the opportunity arises I like to put it to some good Do It Yourself use.

    Pax – Indeed. Those do sound like luxury Bibles, I must say. The ones with four translations, a full commentary and a real leather cover.

    Saw your sign about Elderly People…I’m almost 70. Do I get a decrepit discount if I buy your furniture?

    The Rev. Ben Johnson hmmmm…. wasn’t there a Ben Johnson that lost his Olympic Gold medal through taking something other than communion wine? No…can’t be…

    So you think thats funny hey! (i do too) BUT I have been getting emails lately from my ebay customers asking me to befriend them and their wives and would I be present at their weddings because they don’t have many friends! Its all a little worrying.

    Could you possibly diversify a little more and make me a macbookPro as mine has been admitted to hospital! I dont mind if the screen is matt or gloss.

    I would have asked you to send over this request to me or my website ( I NEED LECTERN CUSTOMERS!!! ) but since it smells like a Nigerian scammer, you can direct him over to the guys over at http://www.419eater.com.
