I need to know about how many ppl want to order these Birka scales and a rough estimate of metals. I know Bob wanted the aluminum, and a lot of others wanted stainless. This is just for the estimates so, if we can get these figures by today, I should have something to give you all by tomorrow. Jim had misplaced the orders that were posted in the beggining and I can't find them on the other pages.

500, 18 g. stainless.

Thanks again!

I will fax Jim these numbers right before I have to go to work today at 1:45pm my time so you have about two hours or so to tell me.No one will miss out. This is to get the idea what prices are. The actuall orders will be made after the numbers come back.

Did I make it in under the time limit? I hope - chalk me up for 100 in whatever metal everyone is doing, so its chreaper. I'll order more later.

1000 18ga. Stainless.....If, of course, I can jump aboard.

1000 18 gauge stainless. Assuming the final price is reasonable.

I was looking for about 800-1000 in stainless 18 gauge if it's not too late.

300 in 18ga. stainless!

Hope I am not to late to get in on this! Thanks for all of your work Apoc

I would like to get
500 aluminum
if possible
stainless if not

thanx

Just an update.... I need to bump my order to 1500-2000. I'll finalize the numbers after the pricing......

By my quick count we are right at about 9000-10000 plates... surely we can get a deal with that king of number.

Janos

What are we looking at per scale approximately for those of us who havent been following since the begining?

I sent the request out before anyone else got to post after mine. I did send it at 1:45 and I know it's short notice but the actual order set up will allow everyone the chance. I sent out 3000 stainless and the 500 aluminum as an order. I also asked what would 1000 18 gauge mild run just in case. I will group similar metal orders together to order in bulk and will divide the plates after fabrication. I need to know how large the holes are going to be when the prices are received so I know what to tell Jim.

What sorta cost are we talking per plate here?? Rough estimate?

I am getting the estimate for the orders I recently posted. I will give dollar figures (US) when I get the information from Interscope. I will post the information and we need to come up with a plan as to where to mail the moneys to.

Ok..not to pick on you but.....

Do you have an expected time you will get the quote back?

How long after that will you "take orders"?

What kind of turn around do you see this taking?

and finally....

Can you tell Im anxious?

Janos

To tell you the truth, I have been agrivating the hell out of Jim at Interscope. He picks up the phone all happy with his usual greetings and then has that "oh it's you" tone when he finds out it is me. I will try to press an answer out of him in a week's time or so and will post the quote on the board in bold letters for about two weeks to make damned sure I got everyone in. I will ask him about how long it will take when I give him the orders from here and let you know. The only thing I am concerned with now is where to send the money. Would you all still want me to be the middle man and set up an account or something or would you rather send it to Interscope and see if Jim will collect it in increments?
Janos: As long as you don't pee on the floor, you're OK.

Apoc,

Bladder is in check.....

I certainly don't presume to make you take on that task, however, I would be suprized if a company would collect money in incriments. I would more than trust you if you agreed to do it. I'm not sure what better plan there is.

Janos

I too would have no problem leaving my cash in your hands Apoc... however, as many have said, you've gone WAY out of your way for us already, so I'll happily send Interscope the money, if that's the course your like to take.

Thanks again- please tell me your real name, so I don't have to name my 1st son Apocalypse [img]http://www.armourarchive.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

You gotta be sh*ttin' me. Who wouldn't want to be named after me as a kid. To run out on the playground and see the other kids run in fear shouting out his name. Having him jerk kids off the jungle gym and walk around with his boney chest all puffed out. LMAO
But seriously...I can get a free account with the bank I got my mortgage with and can set it up as anyone sees fit. One large savings, checking, or comercial account. I can go and get some info on what types are available so we can get it all together. Taking checks to the bank will help get me off my arse as well. Let me know what you all think and I'll get hot on it.

I just got off the phone with Jim. He was looking into laser cutting as another avenue for a faster responce. What I need is a really good diagram of the birka plate. I need more measurements than the 1"x4". I need radii measurements and hole sizes and whatever info you can give.
Here are the pros and cons of both procedures...
Laser, no tooling fees but a small programming fee for the computer to cut the things. There is more time involved in cutting which may mean more labor costs.
Stampin, the tooling fee that was stated before for the price of the die. Since there is the die, there is no reprogramming and all you have to pay for afterwards is just materials.
Opinions?

Just guessing, but in large quanities, the stamping is likely to be cheaper.

Agreed,

with the numbers that came in on this thread they were at about 10,000. I think with those kind of numbers that laser would be substantially more expensive. Especially if we just took the $300 or so for the tooling and divided it by the number of plates being bought. Factor it in as a per plate cost and it would be next to nothing. I have no problem in paying a larger portion for the die if I'm getting more plates than someone else...... makes sence to me.

Obviously though we do need a good diagram for the plates, laser cutting or not. I have drawing programs to do it but no cad type programs to get radius and such...... If I can help I will.

Janos

What do they want? A DXF of the scale? If someone can give hand drawn image, I can output the scale from 3Ds MAX

What they want is something close to a blueprint to make sure we are getting "exactly" what we want. This doesn't need to be a government regulated task or anything, just something with as much information as possible to ensure the correct shape.

A DXF is a autocad file. It'll have all the info they could possibly need. [img]http://www.armourarchive.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
