Hi Backers, 

Sorry about the long delay in updates.   I fell into a bit of burnout and didn't do or have much to say.   Nevertheless, I am still working on stuff and have about 60 that are awaiting flocking and shipping.   I got a bad batch of masking tape and am in the process of scraping all of that off so I can reapply decent stuff and get them flocked. 

I've seen a bunch of talk in the comments about me selling these at conventions which isn't true.   I have never sold a tome at a convention.  I did raffle off "bad" ones that would have gotten thrown away otherwise.  I haven't even been to a convention in two years and have no plans to go to one in the future at this point.

Hello Backers!

Hope you're all doing well.  The frigid grasp of winter is loosening here in the north. 

This past week was spring break for a lot of folks and I took the week off to just work in the shop.   A pile of tomes should be shipping out by next weekend.  This should be all of the stragglers from up to 250 as well as a few others.    

I have just about all of the parts made for backers 250-350 made and awaiting assembly.   I'm planning to have more of a steady stream shipping out these days.  

If you have questions or need help updating anything with your order, shoot me an email at [email protected]. 

Good luck finding those eggs this weekend!

Hello backers!

Hope your all doing well out there.

Sorry about no update last month.  It's been fairly busy at the day job with a bunch of tooling kicking off for a project I'm on.  So for the past few weeks I don't even think I stepped into the shop.   Prior to that, I was knocking out a bunch of parts for some replacements and other parts I was low on.  I've got a pile of stuff I'll be gluing up this weekend and getting back into the swing of things.  Still around 250, give or take.  Things are looking up in the world a bit though, my parents are getting vaccinated later today and hopefully that means that the rest of us aren't far behind.  Looking forward to kids getting back to school and leaving my laptop at work...

   Don't forget to update your address if you need to.  If you can't figure out how to shoot me an email at [email protected] and I'll try to respond in a timely manner and get it updated.

Hello backers!

Winter has finally shown itself here in the northern lands.  Hope you're all doing well. 

Not a ton to update with at this point.  I'm currently making a pile of inner pages and have some tomes going out by the end of this week.   With the holiday weekends, I should find quite a bit of time to crank a bunch of stuff out. 

Stay safe out there and have a good holiday season.

November!

Hello Backers!

I hope you all had a good spooky season filled with tricks and treats and have been sane and healthy otherwise.   It's been unseasonably warm and lovely in this part of the country this past week.  That helped take away a bit of attention from our dumpster fire of an election process. 

I've sent some out since the last update but am pretty much still around the same backer numbers.  I had to remake a couple fixtures and that slowed things down more than usual. The main routing fixture for artwork started making bad parts and come to find out it was pulling itself apart.  And the fixture I drill hinge holes started making bad parts and was wearing and wallowing from the heat and pressure.  

I'm usually not very hopeful of work in the holiday season with four thanksgivings and xmases that we ineveitably must attend, but this year that's not the case.    2020, the gift that just won't stop giving.
