Hey,
Are the logos still being made and the list fulfilled?
Incredibly interested
Ok, here is the latest update. I just finished one complete set!! :smile: It's ready for paint and shipping. But here's the rub. I tried everything but it still took me 10 hours, a lung full of sawdust and a handfull of worn out cutting bits just to make it. I'm not exactly thrilled at the prospect of burning an entire weekend and various tools just to get one set out at a negative profit margin. So I'm not sure what to do at this point. I feel really bad getting a group list together and not really being able to fill it, but you have to believe me that I tried
every system and method to get this to work. In the end, there is no easy way around it. It is simply an incredibly difficult and time consuming process no matter how you slice it.
So the question to the group is this: What should I do with the one set? Should I auction it off? Would it most fair to just give priority to the first person on the group buy list?
The second question is: I have one more trick I can try. Part of the problem is that I'm using 5/8" thick MDF. It's nice becuase It really makes the letters stand out, but it's very hard and slow to cut. I can try going with 1/4" thick MDF. In which case I think I can pump these out much faster, but the letters won't look nearly as nice. Do you think there's still interest in 1/4" thick letters. Keep in mind the ones you see in the picture examples are 5/8" or thicker lettering. If they were 1/4" thick, they wouldn't stand out as much.
Another thought is, part of the problem is the emblem takes about 4-5 hours itself. If I just did the letters, I think I could get these done a lot faster. Would there be any interest in just the letters without the emblem?
Thoughts? I really want to do this for the NSX community, but I feel bad that I can't keep up with the demand. Thanks for understanding.:redface:
