Guys, I've got bad, good, and then bad news.
1) I'm out of them at the moment
2) I have 5 more being made
3) The price is going up to $135 + shipping. I've been getting $135 including shipping, but that ain't been too bright.
I've given some away, I've made several personal discounts, and I've eaten the shipping to Canada, Australlia, and all of the US ones I've sent using 3 day Priority so far to the tune of about $300. I'm happy with that because the objective in the beginning was to offer Charles a chance to make some side money and as promised here on this board - I'd make some for those who followed the project from it's beginning back in November. (Charles gets $120 for the metal and machining), (I get $15 for the grade 8 rod, cutting the rod, 6 nuts, 12 grade 8 bolts, assembly, packaging, driving to the machine shop, special ordering and picking up the pieces, going to the post-office, and the 3 day priority which at 4.5 lbs is $16 to California, and $12 anywhere else in the US. Canada is about the same, but they won't allow the 3 day up there) -- So I'm not covering shipping any more, but at the same time - I don't want a dime of personal profit. I'm pleased you guys are and my buddy Charles is happy that he's got small project work that he can do and make a little on when he's feeling up to doing it.
Regards,
Gordon
So....I want a big ole raise to cover shipping
