I am sorry I have been off the grid for a few weeks dealing with some health issues. I am not a 100% yet, but able to put in a few hours work a day. I have managed to complete most of the new photo-etch artwork and sort out which of my current production parts I needed to order to fill the discount orders I received in Nov and Dec of 2013. This artwork is now with the photo-etch company that have told me the parts will be made over the next 2 to 3 week, so I should have them in stock by the end of the month. This is the largest order I have ever placed with them, 53 full sheets of 12" x 18" which equals 1000's of parts. The task of sorting out the parts alone will take about a week of my assistants time.
This may be the last order of photo-etched parts, of the larger parts I have only ordered enough to fill current orders. If there are any parts you want, you have a few days to order them. I can still increase the quantity of parts, but you only have the this weekend to order them as my deadline to up the order is Monday.
See below all sheets ordered. If the parts you want are not on the sheets I do have them in stock.
Full Sheet of Artwork (12" x 18") There are 53 assorted sheets being etched.
During my absences I have had my assistant working on parts to fill current orders, white metal and resin casting and packaging parts. See pictures below of what has been made. Many parts made are not shown as they have already been place in order bins.
Since January 1st I have managed to ship 16 small orders, I currently have over 80 orders to complete. About 90% of the parts for these orders have been cast. Around 50 of the orders are wait for the delivery of the photo-etched parts. While waiting on the delivery we will be working on the remaining 30 orders and hope to have them completed in the next 2 - 3 weeks. All current orders should be finished by the end of March.
I am sorry for the delay, but it was out of my control, this is what happens when you grow old and try to run a business.
Regards
Mike
