    Pretty cool Dean!

    I'm thinking something a bit more understated...

    Thanks!:D

    Or, at the price point you have it I would drill my own holes, and even sand/paint if I had too, would just need instructions.

    Agreed. Drilling my own holes or epoxying some tabs on isn't a big deal to me either....

    HT, you are doing such an awesome job with this group buy. I'm going to be here until the end. And I'm saying this as I sit at standby #1, even if it takes me having to wait on the second go-round.

    Just a quick bump... I'm meeting with a representative tomorrow afternoon to see if they are able to manufacture this insert for us.
    I'll let you all know asap!
    Thanks for your patience!:D

    ***Update***
    This afternoon I met with the folks at Tubro Plastics in Ivyland PA. & explained to them what I am trying to accomplish with this Satoshi insert. The guy I met with (John), understood immediately what I want to do. The issue with them is Volume. John said that they could easily produce the insert but would not take on a part order for less than 1000 pieces due to the re-tooling involved.
    As far as cost, the end part would probably be under $75 per piece, but x1000 would require a financial investment of $75,000.00:eek:
    For that amount of inital investment I could finance an injection molded part!
    At this point guys I am at the end of my resources for local manufacturing sources.
    I'm going to have to unfortunately cancel this Group Buy.
    I love the concept & I wish I had another alternative as I have invested a bunch of time with this, but I have to be realistic and know when to call it quits.
    Thank you all for your support.
    I truly apologize for not being able to bring this to fruition.
    Thanks,
    Craig
