Hrm... something went wrong.
Hey, bad things happen to the best of us. Don't worry, the gnomes have been dispatched. Maybe try again in a little while.

Slotting Jig

November 27th - via: kickstarter.com
Just a quick update with less than 2 days left. Here's a couple pictures of the jig I am using to slot the end caps.  Next task will be to drill and tap the side holes.  I'd do a video of this but it would be about as exciting as watching paint... (Read More)

Sticker stretch goal

November 18th - via: kickstarter.com
Only 10 days left! Thinking about sending everyone a sticker as a stretch goal if we reach the $5000 mark. Not really an earth shattering deal, more of just an extra thanks to all my backers.  Is this something anyone would be interested in?  And... (Read More)

Hello everyone, Just an update on things; Originally I was going to cut the end caps on my manual lathe.  This is not really a problem as I enjoy working with these machines.  However, after seeing a couple videos of people using their CNC mills as... (Read More)

Colored end caps?

November 7th - via: kickstarter.com
OK so here are the colored end caps. Not really sure what to think myself because I am quite frankly exhausted from the day.  Appreciate any input, if enough people are interested I may offer them as a stretch goal.  Probably would be a little more... (Read More)
