Re: Plan B osc - other formats?

2004-10-04 by (i think you can figure that out)

I thought long and hard about mutliple formats.  Here's the 
problem:

1) I'm a Mac guy - so Shaeffer (sp?) offers little solution to me.

2)  I can do one-off faceplates through other services, but I don't 
think my price would be any less expensive than Cynthia's, as 
I've got to do a complete panel (12 x 20 inches) just for one 
faceplate, which would run a minimum of $225 additional for 
that.  If someone is willing to pay that, I would be happy to!

3) In the case of Modcan format, I can only do a .062 thinckness - 
Bruce's faeplates are twice as thick.

4 )More than any problems associated with custom faceplates is 
the cost of getting the things drilled (again, me no Shaeffer).  

5)  Most important - I needed Plan B to be as painless as 
possible.  It's hard enough to get 30 of the same thing built and 
shipped - but when half of those are one-off flavors it becomes a 
big production mess.  If I ever use the the term 'we', just know 
that I am lying through my teeth!  I have used a intern twice, but 
this was on a day basis.  It's me and the flies on the wall doing al 
this!'

So, these are my excuses!
