First, I would like to thank everyone who has pre-ordered a Forge. I have approximately 35 units to make so far. I know you are all anxious to get your units, and I’m really anxious for you to get them!
But, a bit of sad news, the metal supplier told me originally that I’d get the main material yesterday, but now I find out that they shipped it LTL freight and it only gets into their local hub Monday. I really wanted to try to get a lot done this weekend, but it looks like I’ll only be able to machine tubes and pistons.
In the meantime I’m machining the last bit of test plates I have, but unfortunately not enough to fulfill any orders by Monday. Next week as soon as I can I’ll start shipping once the plates are in stock!
Also, future small updates will be on Instagram, it looks like a good platform to share a quick video or photo update on progress. You can follow me there if you’d like these kind of updates:
