Greg,

I spoke with Joe this afternoon and he is waiting for the parts to be completed so he can verify their quality and fit. We’re looking at another week or so for the results.

Nils, are you ordering with the Alabama group, or are you waiting for the FL group with Sean?
Stefan ( 33182 :) )

sailfl Sat 09 February 2008 09:26

I sent a PM to Sean to see what the status is with the guy he has been working with in Orlando. I have not heard back from him. I suspect that it will be cheaper to buy from him. So most likely I will buy from Sean's source. I will use the Alabama source as a backup.

Thanks for asking.

I'll check and see on Monday the status of my parts run and final pricing. I sent the mm parts with another order. Of course, the mm parts were a
low priority. I will press them for a time and price. Sean

jbmclain Sat 09 February 2008 19:56

I'm going to do the same. Patient IS NOT virtue.

sailfl Sun 10 February 2008 02:05

Sean,

Thanks for checking. My priority is low right now but there maybe others that would buy from Orlando now.

Parts
 
Everyone, the one off parts should be ready tomorrow!! They are at the fabricator now being bent. I want to take some pictures and measure the thicknesses to make sure all the parts are going to be correct.
I will post pictures of all the parts to let everyone know exactly what they are getting.
Also to anyone who is thinking of making a MM (Mamba) please add yourselves to the list to order a set, so I can tell them to cut a specific number of sets.

Thanks
Joe

Well Guys, I spoke too soon. It will be Monday before I get the test parts.:(:(
I do have some good news.....
My Father N Law has about 400 of the exact bearing that we will need for the Rail Skate. He wants $1 Per Bearing. They are brand new and sealed bearings. :D

This is just to let people out there what a laser can do.:cool:


It was cut from .25 inch thick Lyptus Wood. It will be going on a grandfather clock I'm making. After I complete my MM.

stefanv Fri 15 February 2008 16:54

How strong is this laser?

jbmclain Sat 16 February 2008 02:52

watts
 
Stefan, They had three lasers machines there. The Mac Daddy I think was 2000w. and could cut 7/8" inch steel. He also said that they had a 6 digit power bill one month.:eek:

stefanv Sat 16 February 2008 06:09

Looks like I'll stick to router bits for a while,... :)
Stefan

Gerald D Sat 16 February 2008 07:26

Joe, do you plan to remove the black where the laser burnt its way through?

lunaj76 Sat 16 February 2008 11:35

Joe,

I would like to be included for a mamba set and bearings.

Hi Joe,
I'm interested in the mamba set and bearings. 28730.
Rick

stefanv Sat 16 February 2008 19:17

Joe,

I'm planning to get the mamba set with Sean in FL. However the deal on the bearings is good. We need 10 right? If you don't mind sending me just those, I'll pm you my info. Do you happen to have a paypal account for easy transfer?

Stefan, 34285

revved_up Sun 17 February 2008 11:13

Joe you have my name on the list for the cut parts allready but I would like the bearings also

kwang90020 Sun 17 February 2008 22:27

Joe,
I would like to add bearings to my set also.
Thanks,
Krod

Marc Shlaes Mon 18 February 2008 06:57

Look what I got today!!!!:D


Everything looks as they should and goes together like it should!!


The only bad thing is Myozman (Mike) called the first set.:(

myozman Tue 19 February 2008 18:15

Now to get going.:)

jbmclain Tue 19 February 2008 21:03

OK I am going to pull the trigger and get a large batch on Thursday afternoon!!

As of now I have orders in for the following people:

Greg A
Revved Up
Mark Shlaes
Sailfl
Kevin L
Kevin
Kwang 90020
Mattbyrne
Ekdenton
Lunaj76
Cardin1
303mm
ME:)

If I forgot someone, Please let me know. I don't want to leave anyone out and I'm going to keep mine this time. I don't mind ordering parts in the future but in 5 or more quantities. The price might change too due to rise of steel and labor.

I am taking payment by Paypal (its fast and free) for the parts at this time. This way I don't get stuck with extra sets and finance charges.
At the time of shipping I will send you a email telling you how much shipping is to your location. This will a 60LBS box. UPS Shipping & Insurance to Myozman was $40.00. Shipping to a business will be a little cheaper than a residence.
So, all that been said, email your: Name, Shipping Address, If you ordering bearings (qty) and I will tell you the email to send the money to on paypal.
This way I won't get racked.:D


Thanks
Joe Mclain

Just as a note....
I am still going to be running a batch of parts in Florida, but it will be a number of weeks. I am truly in the weeds with work and won't be able to dedicate the time to "go over and sit at the laser" for a while. Stefan and Nils, if your in a hurry, I would jump on Alabama pricing.
Sean

sailfl Wed 20 February 2008 07:37

Sean

Thanks for the update. I can wait so I am passing on the Alabama order. I don't see me starting for a couple more months so I have time.

stefanv Wed 20 February 2008 08:49

I'll for the FL batch,...
Stefan

myozman Thu 21 February 2008 14:52

Joe,

Got them today. Awesome! They look good. They dry fit good, really nice bend job.
Time to get on the stick and get ordering.

Let me know when everything goes through.

Mike

jbmclain Fri 07 March 2008 10:12

parts
 
I talked to the laser people on Wednesday and they were finishing up with cutting them.
He told me that he would ask them to put a hurry up on the bending. This was the longest part in the process, on the first run of parts.
I know that everyone is eager to get their parts as much as I am to get mine, so be patient and I'll keep bugging them.

Thanks
Joe
