Holy shite. Why didn’t I get one of those? I need to take a step back and think. Maybe drink my sorrows away? Lol

Because you are saving up for track/racing tires!

I am also done with my setup and running production

It really kinda is.

I love this stuff.

Jo and I are at dinner celebrating successfully getting this operation into production. This was not trivial.

The machine can do that all day.

I can do that all day.

But it's not really necessary for these except for hole position and tang profile relative to the holes etc.

A Mori Seiki NH5000 is wasted on me. It should be in Iran making centrifuges or something.

I'm making ninja swords lol

Having worked very closely with aerospace machine shops for over 20 years, this beautiful K20 blank is most certainly not wasted on me.

The one that lasted .02 seconds leaving hundreds of people missing out?!

At least I know that I really wouldn’t use it so I’m not THAT sad.


So sad!

Yes. THIS.

SO. SAD.

Please, oh God please, let there be more...

How did you get pic of me after that .02 of missing out?

 

[yoko]

The K20 was one I slammed my pudgy ass against my works break room door..... like I was watching porn as a teenager .....

I regert nothing.....

It was clearly a LOT of us. Especially those of us that had committed to buy one in order to get Nathan to move forward on the project.

Pretty sure Nate mentioned that once he's confirmed the process and viability, there'll be another K20 preorder owing to the demand and folks missing out.

He has. My concern is that it’s not so viable that he makes another run. ETA - Granted, I’m not generally an optimistic fellow….

I think the viability part was mainly the yield. The posted pic looks fantastic!

 

[SpyderPhreak]

I think the viability part was mainly the yield.

I fear that after the first run, they’ll decide it’s not worth doing another one due to the learning experience of the first run. Hope to hell I’m wrong!

Geez, I just can't stand passing up that preorder.

 

[Fonedork]

What kind of idiot passes up a CPK preorder where you only had to pay half upfront

A few of us apparently.

No regrets on my part though.

Especially one that Nathan said was going to be open for at least a week?

 

[Cap’n Smudge]

I have regrets.

 

[Cap’n Smudge]

I mean about not being in on the K20.
I have other regrets too, but this isn’t the place to discuss those.

It’s those regerts coupled with your mild Oedipus complex that make you so eager to please at the homes and keeps you my top earner. Don’t change a thing sugar.
