So who else is anticipating the birth of their Chuck in the next few weeks?

[Trunus]

Just for kicks I was counting the number of new-borns since the day I ordered mine and at 100+, I saw it...

There have been 35 since I ordered last Friday. If Jeff keeps this up I may not have the full month to wait!

On a side note I got my batteries in today. Should I charge them? I heard somewhere about letting Li-Ion batteries drain further than a certain amount will harm the longevity of them... I can't find it now I was just wondering if anyone else has heard that.

Thank, Thye.

Thye got it right, NSG. CMJ is the last one in Post #62

The artist's name is Joan Miró and I sort of wanted to call the Chuck "Joan" but don't know how to pronounce it -- it's the only time I've ever seen Joan as a man's name. Based on what Wikipedia says, the closest I can come is Juan with a "zh" sound in front of it.


ETA: And congratulations to anyone else who's Chuck was born yesterday. I think there were some other beauties in the nursery. Like any proud parent, I only have eyes for mine.

Congrats new parents,
jambandphan03 OMG those are so beautiful. My lil chuck would love yours.
Is that your own artwork? If so you are one talented cookie.

Jeff did good.

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, The blue one is the first graphic art I designed back in '05 and the green bamboo/buda is a composition I designed for a band called EOTO for a show poster when they played here in our back yard "Lounge" . I removed the text and shrunk it down to fit on the chuck. I have many other graphic art images, those were just my two favorites, maybe I should start a chuck art collection

More p0rn! About damn time, it's been almost 10 hours!

 

[Trunus]

Someone here has true class! Might I ask who has that AC/DC one?

 

[ChristianBart]

Ordered on Feb.19th and born yesterday(March 28th). Looks beautiful! Can't wait to get it! Wow, just realized he was born on Palm Sunday. He will be sacred! Thanks Jeff! It looks perfect!

Ordered our full-size "BuddhaChuck" on March 11th, so we're over halfway there.

Had a heck of a time deciding what graphic to use until I stumbled on this high-rez Mandlebrot fractal "Buddha". 'Shopped in a few wispy strands to add some color and maybe represent smoke, and...

Can't wait to see what it looks like. Checking the newborn thread is getting obsessive.

That's a cool design, it will look great on a chuck!

Does anyone know where Jeff ships from? My little chuck was born on Sunday and I was wondering how long shipping normally takes

Thanks my friend. It's mine. Unfortunately I live in Greece, so I have to wait for about 15 days to hold it in my hands.

Naperville, il 60563

 

[Poeia]

He's in Illinois. I got a tracking #. It's coming Priority mail so I expect Wednesday or Thursday.

 

[AmyB66]

Me thinks Jeff should buy my place, not far from where he is now and it comes with mongo garage, big boy play room and a 4000sq foot framed shop along with my money pit of an oversized house. Commercial zoning to boot! It is crying for a man who can be awake 20 hours a day! LOL!
Unincorporated, no inspectors.

Looking forward to seeing your chuck in hand Poeia. With all those colored attys, how cool...your chuck looks like it will be fun to accessorize.

 

[nick0404]

Does Jeff provide tracking numbers?

 

[JamBandPhan]

Yes, I got a tracking number in an email saying it was shipped.

 

[~Jo~]

Of course, USPS tracking numbers are about useless. Most people seem to get their orders before the tracking even indicates that the packages are in their states.

 

[Thyestean]

That's because technically they are delivery confirmation numbers and not actual tracking numbers

 

[djesteem]

how long is it taking these days to get a chuck? 3 plus weeks still? i am just curious. i am still waiting for mine.

 

[AmyB66]

dj, it is taking about a month. Remember, it is custom and made just for you and lots of people are ordering them hence the wait.

Hang out here, we'll all pass the time with you. I am waiting too but I hear it is worth the wait and them some.
