k, and just as a heads up, the green ones will have abalone buttons, and no regular black button option on the green this week. We really like the green and will do it again with reg buttons soon, but we only had a small number ready to build for this week and decided just to do um with abalone buttons cuz pretty.... The blues are being build in black button and pie'd.
and another heads up, we have a load down at our anodizers right now to be done in that unholy abomination of pink/purple color that glassgal won in cards...
and i might as well do a little update,
last time i was online i thought i was going to get some free time to start prototyping something new... and i did, for like two whole days... then feces hit the air spin'y appliance... we lost an entire weeks worth of work to a bad anodizing run... everything, machine time, hand work, just trashed... that hurt...really bad... i had to do something that prevented anything like that from happening again, something like changing EVERYTHING about how we give things to our anodizers, that means 5 small batches a week instead of one huge one... so i had to design and make new anodizing racks (and cry as i scrapped my old ones i just made a few months ago). So I did that... and it took time and was lame and super boring, but then I had another issue, transporting them. For the first week after i built these new racks i just drove them down there every day to pick up and drop off (50 min each way) and that got pretty old... Luckily the anodizing company has a transporting semi truck but i needed to make some crates to safely hold our racks for transport... and again, just took time.. but so far so good with the new methods! One upshot of all this is we can have more variate with our colors each week, so that's nice... and as i wrote this, two crates full of hideous disgusting pink/purple BB just got dropped off... I'll go take pics...
oh lord that's awful...
but neat crates right? and i'm still making more, you can kinda see some crate bits layin' on the
shop floor, the place is a mess with screws all over the floor and saw dust f'ng everywhere..
and a few close ups of the unicorn poop boxes... color aside they turned out really super nice... I wish i had glassgals box in hand to see how close the color is, cuz these look pretty purple to me now.... and i was 100% sure hers was pink...
but then again,, once the light hits um this happens.. heck if i know...
anywayzzz, just a little update, i still have a few more crates to put together and a few more racks to build, but then i'm back to designing.. i did get all my glass i ordered to play with for a new
tank, and have a few good ideas to try out when i get a second,,,, just need to find more seconds....
