ThomasW on twitter: "Big delay on the Tilt...sheesh. Will no more next week."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo!

Sonofa!!

That's a bummer.

Parts made in Japan could explain that?

I don't recall hearing anything about any parts made in Japan.

From what I heard, there were still a few kinks to work out of the KVT bearing system.

Small delays have been months. Lets hope big delays don't = years.

thats not even funny!...okay maybe a little. C'mon, what gives here? My guess is the KVT as well.

 

[Artfully Martial]

it could be decades. perhaps even centuries. but it's worth it if my grandchildren's grandchildren can have a Tilt one day.

I suppose...can't wait to hear from Thomas.

 

[DrOpPoInT1110]

oh Thomas!....any new info? Its been a week

 

[Thomas W]

Problems, lots of problems....

 

[Tony8179]

Problems, lots of problems....

This makes me a sad panda.

 

[Thomas W]

Well actually we did cut some CF scales. Mmmmm Carbon Fiber...

 

[jonnymac44]

Well, problems or not, those scales are SEXY!!:thumbup:

 

[Tony8179]

Well, problems or not, those scales are SEXY!!:thumbup:

Agreed! :thumbup:

 

[DrOpPoInT1110]

I agree...those are some sweet looking scales! Are the issues with the KVT?

 

[Thomas W]

Are the issues with the KVT?

No, KVT is fine.

Machine time has been very difficult as of late, and truthfully it's just been put to the back burner. I was out on the floor late this afternoon, and there was some heated discussion on the Tilt. I flexed my muscles, and am sure my point got across. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Well, Thank you very much for making the effort to keep your colleagues in line. It would be a real shame if the Tilt never came to be...oh, the horror!!! Hopefully, it will only get better from here.

This actually puts my mind a bit more at ease. I honestly thought when you said big problems that everything that has been accomplished to this point needed to be scrapped or something detrimental like that. I can live with the back burner as long as the Tilt will be released at some point in the future. I'm sure that machining this beauty has not been fun at all.

 

[Thomas W]

Oh the Tilt will most certainly be made...bank on it.

Yeah, I agree...we've waited this long already haven't we? Albeit somewhat impatiently at times. From what I have seen completed so far, it's going to be an unbelievable blade. Those scales are amazing... I keep looking at that picture!
