Buy is closed - order went in this morning
Updated February 12, 2009 - This buy is closed - the order went int his morning.
Inlace Acrylester blanks have some unique properties. There is an informational / instructional sheet here: http://woodturningz.com/docs/Working_with_Inlace_Acrylester.pdf . IF YOU HAVE NEVER TURNED THIS, IT IS NOT FOR NEWBIES. It is a brittle polyresin. However, it makes beautiful pens.
This buy includes the following:
All standard Inlace Acrylester blanks, not including the money blank or the cereal blanks.
In addition Woodturningz is in the process of introducing 4 new 'Diamond' series Acrylester Blanks such as the one shown here: http://woodturningz.com/IA/IA71.jpg . The one shown is called 'Galaxy'. 'Gold Pulsar' http://woodturningz.com/IA/IA72.jpg is a black based blank with a gold fleck. I have no pictures yet to show of the other two. 'Red Nebula' will be a red base with the same fleck as 'Galaxy'. And, 'Milky Way' will be a silver fleck in a white background. We are allowed to order these (sight unseen - at least for now) on this buy.
Pricing: Prices do not reflect add-on for shipping and other charges from Woodturningz to me. My estimate is that this adds about $0.35 per blank to the price below.
For the regular Acrylester Blank, standard 100+ pricing is $2.25/blank. (I will cancel the buy if I cannot get orders for 100 standard blanks).
For the 'Diamond' series, 20+ pricing is $4.50/blank. If we get orders for 100 or more combined Diamond series blanks the price drops to 3.50/blank.
Shipping for the USA will be Flat Rate Priority. I can get up to 20 blanks in a 'VCR' flat rate box and envelope (~$5.00). From there, up to about 100 or so in a small flate rate box (~$11.00). For all orders, even if I underestimate shipping in the initial calculation, the blanks will not ship until full payment is received.
International shipments will be handled on a actual cost basis. For international shipments I will add a large estimate to your billed total and refund any remaining when the order is shipped. NOTE: I WILL NOT FALSIFY THE CUSTOMS DOCUMENTS. PayPal is the only form of payment accepted for international orders. For all orders, even if I underestimate shipping in the initial calculation, the blanks will not ship until full payment is received.
Payment: PayPal is preferred. The charge for PayPal is (as usual) $0.30 plus 2.9% of the total, including shipping, and will be added to your total before you pay. Money order or bank check will be accepted if the payment arrives before the order date. NO PERSONAL CHECKS. If you can't stand PayPal and want to pay by Credit Card I have an alternative, but it is slightly more expensive than PayPal - PM me.
Timing: I am now taking orders for this group buy. I will close the buy for additional orders on February 9 at 6:00 PM CST (GMT-6). Based on prior experience with Woodturningz, you may possibly have the product in your possession before the end of February. I am planning to travel for business 2/22 though 3/3. I hope to be able to ship before I leave, but If I cannot, shipment will occur after 3/3.
If you care to, you can use the attached Excel Sheet to calculate your estimated order. It also contains links to individual pictures of the blanks. You can return the sheet to me as an order if you wish. Attach it to your response or PM me for another email address.
Either use the attached spreadsheet to order your blanks or list the blanks you want below. I am not accepting orders for the money blanks or the cereal blanks.
