Mini-Atoms, Exotics, Micarta, and MORE
Micarta, Micarta and Micarta
We had some Micarta a few weeks ago - but it all got used up and sold quickly.
I had some on order since last year and it's finally arriving. Below is not vintage Micarta - but it has some amazing layering. We're about to start making some sliders from this and looking forward to seeing how they turn out.
We have some other vintage Micarta that has arrived ...and some other vintage Micarta (from the USSR!) that I am hoping will be here later today. (UPDATE: it arrived! I will post about it in the next Blog Post later in the week)
Mini-Atom
The first mini-Atom has been machined (literally only a few minutes ago as I type this).
I have not had time to put it together or test it yet - but that's what I'll be doing right after I finish writing this post. :-)
Exotic Sliders
The Exotic Slider Waitlist has been horribly popular (still people signing-up every day and doesn't seem to be slowing down).
BUT, that's a good thing (hear me out!)...
I'm going to keep re-investing in Exotic materials because it's so popular - it's just a slow start (so I appreciate your patience!). I have a decent five-figures worth of Exotic materials here now (and still ordering more).
We slowed down for the Christmas holidays - but this week we will finally start emailing people on the Exotic Slider Waitlist with sliders they can buy.
One last thing...
You will still see Exotics being dropped here and there on the website - I do this to "reward" those die-hard people who relentlessly keep checking the website. If they're optimistic enough to keep checking all the time ...then I think the universe should deliver. :-P
Most Exotic Sliders will however be offered personally to people who sign up to the Exotic Slider Waitlist.
The Foundry
I talked about The Foundry a couple of weeks ago.
We received a lot of interest from Customers. However, the concept of it has evolved as I discussed things with some of the people ready to jump on board. A few of the Customers had already done something similar with other small businesses in the past - so they were familiar with the concept.
Long story short...
It turns out that most people were not specifically interested in the interest-rate return (but it's still a bonus) ...nor were they too interested in the "perks" (but these were also a nice bonus too).
What people really wanted was to support us in doing more of what we do - experimenting, prototyping, testing, failing. With that in mind I have re-written The Foundry Page to update what the Foundry is.
Please don’t stop making atoms because I can never seem to be on the site early enough to grab one! lol
Thank you Joe. Yeah, I’m thinking the Shockwave will be killer in this material.
That Micarta is on point!! Can’t wait to see how they turn out!
