MOTM

OK, time for an Stooge products delivery update:

As if this has never happened to me before, things are going slower than
hoped for  / expected.  I picked up metal panels from the shop a while back
(3 weeks?) and delivered them to the painter.  He still has them.  I had
hoped we would be in the middle of printing by now.  Sigh....

Dave is finalizing all details with the printer.  So, as soon as I get the
metal (in the next week or so I hope) it will be off to the printer.
Therefore, delivery will certainly not be until sometime in September.

SKB backs are with the metal guy.  He has not had them too long since I had
to completely re-do the design.  Then they go to powdercoat before you get
them.  I am guessing around the end of September.  It will be worth the
wait.  I promise.

I am out of flat rails.  I am ordering more next week.  Thanks to everyone
who gave me a heads up their anticipated demand.  I don't plan to make a
whole lot more than what people tell me they might want as they are too
expensive to sit around in my garage for months.

All size brackets are in stock.

Now, here is the really bad news.  Our printer has doubled (yes that is
twice) the set up charge to prepare a screen to be printed.  We were paying
$10 and now we will be paying $20 (for each module set up, each time we
print it).  Current orders are not effected.  Future Stooge panel price
structure will change.   I have to spread the price of the set up across the
number of panels being printed.  So, the price in the future may not be
fixed.  It might be a "range" that is finalized when I see how many of each
we get orders for.  At any rate, the price will be higher. Crap!  One offs
for DIY stuff will be hit the hardest.  Sorry.

Later,
Larry
