GordonV Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Update: My brother claims that he will have the drawings ready to go next week. This would be great because everything BLOB60 related has been stalled out with his lack of activity (course he is doing it for free so I should just STFU). On another note I did just take delivery of some new BLOB50s from the foundry yesterday and have them painted up and ready to go. The cost from the foundry jumped $10 in six months which sucks.... Total including US shipping (flat rate usps box) is $130. For those in the EU and UK now might be your chance to pick one up with the dollar taking a beating. Thanks!

jad Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 If the drawings are ready to go next week, what is a realistic time frame for them to be ready? Thanks, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonV Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 When I did the BLOB50 it took roughly 4 weeks for them to do the pattern and make a couple sample BLOBS. It took the foundry another two and a half weeks to cast the first 50. Total time from start to finish was a little over 6 weeks. However the last two runs of BLOB50s took them 4 weeks from the time I placed the order till I took delivery. My estimate would be 6-8 weeks.

bigmatt Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Gordon Any word on the cost? Ball park would be good. Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 bigmatt, just a couple posts up, I think he said the BLOB60 would be $130 shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon How do we go about placing an order for a BLOB50? Thanks Thanks Gordon . Just received the BLOB50. Had just finished working hexes and my hands were fried. I'll rest up for a couple of days and give it a shot. That was superfast delivery. For anyone who doesn't have a 50# YORK BLOB, this is the way to go. Thanks again.

Webster Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I would be interested. If for no reason other than to train with it so that my 50 pounder begins to seem less stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Knight Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Oh! and about the 3 options issue - I can't remember what everyone else put, but I do remember you saying that if the only thing that changes is the diameter - it might be just like adding ten pounds to the blob 50 - if thats the case - everyone can do that with a wire like everyone is already doing - therefore I think all the ratio's should remain and simpkly make the whole thing larger - It will probably become more popular than the blob - it will be a whole other animal - which means I think it should have a completely new name - to avoid confusion (I think someone on this thread already made the same suggestion about the ratio, so - I agree) I'll try and help w/a name if you decide to change the name.

GordonV Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Finally!! OK guys the drawings have been to the pattern maker and I've gotten the quote from the foundry. It looks like the price for the BLOB60 will be $220 each. If I do this I will do a run of 50. I need to have 25 guys who are firm commits or I'm not going to do it. You can let me know via e-mail I got a break on the pattern by having the tooling place do it as a fill in job. The original quote from one place was 2K for just the pattern. You can let me know if you are a firm commit via PM or e-mail vizecky@yahoo.com. The pattern will take 3-4 weeks and the BLOB60's should be delivered 3 weeks after. I'm thinking of painting them red. Thoughts? Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knyaz Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Gordon Red, is a great idea I think they would look perfect that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
