So what's up with these? Those of you who bought these, what do you think? Been pretty quiet.
Hey ho, I'm back! FINALLY, a day off after a very eventful end-of-the-year.
Yes, all of the current orders (from here) have been faithfully fulfilled, and I've been in contact with all of the recipients! Everybody has provided AMAZING feedback - and as I've requested, I've received the positive AND negative, and continue to improve my product and services accordingly. I'll post more on that later in the day, after I get the NEXT set of cabinets shipped out. (For those keeping track, so far, I'm up to four original orders, one repeat customer with an additional two cabinets, two new orders, and a full-on customer commissioned Galaga inspired finished cabinet!)
I like mine for sure. I haven't had a chance to do much with it yet, but I picked up my Plexi and some Laminate to cover it. I'm just waiting for my trim router to come in the mail. I'll start a thread once I get into things, but too early at this point.
I can't wait! (No seriously, I can't wait. Get 'er done!)
Mr. Slaughter (You can't spell "slaughter" without "laughter"!) has been one of my most vocal respondents! His feedback was amazing, and I can't wait to see his build!
As far as Rick, last I heard I don't think he has had power since Christmas and has been living out of a hotel or something. Not much keeps him from responding (except maybe lack of power) =).
Lack of power. Lack of time. Etc. Etc. Ad nauseum.
Yes, on December 25, mid-day, we lost power. Our neighbour's neighbour's tree had fallen into my neighbour's yard on the 21st, pulling her power lines out of her house, and knocking the 'stack' (where power comes in) off of ours. She lost power on the 21st, but we didn't. Presumably, on the 25th, the local power company came by and saw the damage, and cut us off as well. After visiting with Family (yay, warm!), we returned to a cold house and stuck it out that night - where the heat dropped to 4 degrees - and I had to return to work the next day. (Boxing Day in Retail? 'nuff said.) When I drove home that night, I received a page from my Wife that she and my 6-year-old were in the local motel.
What can I say? We were lucky. We were warm. We were together. It was everything I needed and more.
So, anyway - fast forward to late last week. We returned to the house, had an electrician come in and repair the stack (but not before showing me a 4" piece of BURNED WIRING from the last electrician, who had NEGLECTED TO TIGHTEN THE SCREWS TO THE MAIN POWER COMING INTO THE HOUSE) and the result was a length of burned wiring, where it had been arcing and sparking for who knows how long. After the repair, we got the power back, and have been cleaning up the mess ever since.
Holiday Groceries, gone. Christmas Eve dinner, gone. Bleh.
So anyway, now I'm back. I'm on a healthier two-days-off-a-week schedule, and I hope to be a bit more active.
Just wanted to say good on you Rick for doing this, we don't have many options for this up here. I tried to do this about a while back here in Montreal after I lost my job- but I couldn't get an affordable price unless I ordered a very large quantity (IE: 100's of sets)- seriously considered getting my own CNC. Had I known about your effort earlier I would have ordered two bartops from you instead of cutting two out myself in my overly cramped workshop.
Thanks! I DO have plans for my own CNC in the future, but for right now... ...I've said too much!
Any plans for full sized cabs?
I do. I'm working on some designs right now, for local pickup only. The shipping of these might be counter-productive, but hey, you never know. I just might be able to swing something!
Be seeing you,
Be seeing you!
