Allright everyone...the blanks are in the mail!!! All 63 packages!!!
My postal workers thought I was crazy when I went in and said "I have a bunch of flat rate packages...where would you like me to start stacking them?" It was kinda funny to see their reactions when I told them there were 63 packages. Next time I will definitely do the postage online and set up a pickup!
THANKS EVERYONE!!! This was really interesting and was a lot of fun getting to know you all a bit better. If anyone has a problem with their order, please email me @ steve-sue@cox.net.
Thanks,
Steve
Got them all packed and labeled!!! I hope to get enough time away from the job to get them to the post office on Wed. or Thurs. Sharpen your sand paper... I mean uh your gouges and skews, it wont be long now!!

Here are some pictures to tide Y'all over till you get your packages!
All 13 boxes. Each box weighs 19 lbs. That's 247 lbs. of acrylic!
All 13 boxes open on top of my table saw outfeed.
About one third of the blanks un packed and organized into groups.
The other two thirds un packed and organized. Now it's time to start packing!
Another angle of the bulk of them.
A close up of some of the eye candy...pen porn!!! LOL
They are here!!! Y'all come on over and pick em up. I will be here all day Saturday
Just Kidding. Me and the misses will get to work on sorting and boxing this weekend. Not sure how long it will take, we ended up with 62 orders. The blanks came in 13 flat rate boxes weighing 19 lbs. each. That is 247 lbs of acrylic blanks!!!
Man, we have got some turnin to do. I will post pics throughout the process and keep Y'all updated as well.
Talked with Jimmy yesterday. He is hard at work getting our order ready to ship. He hopes to get it out on Sat. If so, I should receive it by next Thur. or Fri. (it is coming from Hawaii)
Jimmy is working on it ,but like most of us he has a daytime job also. (He is a Navy man!!) I will post when they arive.
FINAL COUNT ON THE ORDER: 2-18-08. There was 61 orders for a total of 2,310 blanks. HOLY COW!!! I am taking volunteers to come help sort and box. I emailed the order just a few minutes ago. I am sure Jimmy will call me tomorrow. When I talk to him I will make the payment and get an estimated arrival date. (they are coming from Hawaii) As of this evening, everyone has either paid me or made arrangements to do so, so I am very impressed with the level of participation from this group. Just goes to show what an incredible bunch we are!!! Thanks to all who participated!!!
I will post delivery details when they are available.
2-17-06 WOW!!! What a success. I got about 60 orders for a total of around 2200 blanks. That is awesome. There are just a few stragglers who haven't paid yet, so....if you are one of them, send me some money please []. If you have placed an order and haven't recieved a Paypal invoice, email me so I can find out what is going on. I will post this evening and let everyone know what the official count is. Also, when I talk to Jimmy on Monday I will ask him about an anticipated ETA. Well...THANKS EVERYONE!!! This has been a real blast so far! I will keep Y'allposted.
2-15-08 We have about 25 hours to go Y'all. Get those orders on in and if you can't pay right away, email me and we will work it out. I don't want anyone to miss out because of waiting for payday. You all have really stepped up to this...so far I have orders for over 1600 blanks!!! And that is not counting the 200 I am going to order!
Y'all RULE !!!
2-11-08 Keep them coming people...Y'all are doing GREAT!!!
10 orders paid already, for a total of 319 blanks!!! ... so far.
2-10-08 We have enough to go ahead with orders. Order forms have been mailed to everyone who has posted. I left off 2 choices: Cinnamon & Peppermint, if you want these, just write them in and include with your order. I will take orders until 12:00 PM Saturday 2-16-08
Did some experimenting... I can fit 35 blanks in an envelope. More than 35 will require a box.
I will send an email out to everyone who has posted interest. It has a very simple order form and instructions. If you have any questions, email me at steve-sue@cox.net.
I contacted Jimmy at Wood Pen Pro and asked him about a group buy price on acrylic blanks. I have ordered and turned over 100 of his blanks and couldn't be happier. He has 40 colors available right now. I have never turned a blank with a void, crack, blemish or any other type of defect from him.
The blanks are already round (whick I love) they are 3/4" diameter X 5" long. Here are links to what he is offering us:
http://www.woodpenpro.com/item.jhtml?UCIDs=914973|1315037&PRID=1507673
On this page he is out of stock on the Lava Flow and Midnight.
http://www.woodpenpro.com/item.jhtml?UCIDs=914973|1315037&PRID=1589390
Both pages say 6" long, but The ones he is pricing for this buy are 5" long.
The price is $1.95 each plus shipping. Shipping will be $4.60 for a flat rate envelope or $8.90 for a flat rate box. I think we can fit about 35 blanks in an envelope. More than 35 will require a flat rate box.
Let me know how many you would be interested in buying (no obligation) and I will send you the order form.
If you have any questions or concerns please email me @ steve-sue@cox.net

Steve
