Precision machined spinning tops...the latest trend!
- Thread starter Uluahunter
- Start date
I received my W/AL infinity today with the 4inch K9 base and I must say, I am very impressed as always! The top is a wonderful spinner and the glass is so SMOOOOOTH!! My spinning sucks to say the least and I was happy with my first spin out of the box as is!! Here are some pics! Thanks @Rich Stadler for another good run!!
Update from @Rich Stadler!
Infinity tops "Should" be all done tomorrow. These Ti stems and W collars just suck to machine. We got the system down but it is a slow process. Still will beat the two week lead time but I was hoping to have them all shipped by now. Thanks for your patience as always!
K2 video is done and YOWZA Jason Vincent knocked it out of the park. I will try to talk him into making a teaser video to show you all. Mokume is on the way and we are looking good on the K2. I should have a release date this week for sure. Could be as soon as two weeks from today. I like launching on a Tuesday but we will see how it goes!
K2 Indiegogo Project Official Update #5
Well we are cruising now. My mokume should be here today or tomorrow. We have run the majority of the timascus collars and they just need cleaning and flaming. I had to run them because they are difficult to machine and I want to make sure I Have enough good ones to meet what I make available. I have enough damascus for the prototype pics. We will have some outer collars made and etched today. Infinity should wrap up at the end of the day and we will be going right on the stems for the K2. The stems and inner disc run on the same machine which will be a bit of a pain.
Heading up to a detailing company to get a few different photo backgrounds for the main picture. One of my friends in the group will do some photo stacking as it will have a good bit of depth and I want it to be in focus.
Jason Vincent has the video done and it is amazing. Katie Carder made a cool logo and all she has left to do it label the exotics once I get them made and photographed. Once all the pictures have been taken (hoping this week) I will finish the text on the page and Emily Conrad will make it into something you can understand. She is a very gifted writer!
Things are moving. I am thinking at this point we will launch no later than 9/13/16.
Not sure if I stated this before but all tops will have free shipping. This will eliminate the need for an email like we did for the navigator. Just order what you want, as many as you want. I will be able to look at the project at anytime and know exactly how many I need to make. This will keep things moving on our end and expedite the shipping lead time.
Spin bases will have shipping cost as they are so heavy. I will be getting the rest of my order in early next week and will sell all that I have on Indiegogo. So far the reception to them is more than I ever could have imagined so there is a good chance I will continue to get more of these and give you more variations and add-ons later this year.
That about covers it. The next update will have the exact launch date and we should be able to start the countdown timer then. SO far it is going pretty typical of a crown funding campaign. Decent amount of unforeseen and costly issues, ton of work but hopefully it will all be worth it! Have a great day
