Well I Did It: Shaper Origin. Another Pre-Order

I threw in For a Maslow today.

I had looked at them earlier, and checked the projects status today. They apparently have completed their kickstarter campaign, and hope to have their first round of post campaign orders filled in Sept. They are then going to come out with a schedule for filling the rest of the orders.

If it takes that long, I may just build one myself. Getting the kit would be way simpler though.

iā€™m looking forward to seeing what you do with it. i think this project has insane potential. one issue for me is that in their demo videos the cuts always look super rough and iā€™m hesitant because i while well know the importance of finish work iā€™m afraid i could just cut things out more quickly (taking into account edge finish).

Iā€™m giving this some serious thoughtā€¦ Thanks for the link.

Iā€™ve been following that tool also, and it looks really cool.

Nice! I definitely want to stop by and see that in action when you have it set up. I thought about jumping in because of the larger ā€œbed sizeā€ over my current 24"x24" CNC router but Iā€™m trying to hold out for Legacy Maverick.

I was thinking I might build a Kayak, one with space for a dog. But I want to build one of these, Full scale, Colonial viper.

Iā€™m kidding about the Viper of courseā€¦

I gotta say, I have known you long enough to not be sure you were joking about the Colonial Viper.

If theyā€™re still in the middle of Batch 2, You could probably cancel and reorder with a referral linkā€¦in fact, hereā€™s mine :wink: : https://preorder.shapertools.com/ref/E3EF37AFB

I wish I had thought to dig for a referral link when I ordered my GF.

They just announced a $200 price increase on Sept 1st. Anybody on the fence should come on over.
