GREAT NEWS EVERYONE!!!
This is the post that I have been excited to bring you for the entire last month
after waiting with much anticipation, I have finally received word and pictures on the final round of samples, and they looking really good!
In this round of revisions we nailed the green mat color to match that classic feel, and the measurements have been tightened up so there is less drift/stretch across the measurement marks. With the little details ironed out, and the final design greenlit, I'm excited to announce that the project will be going into production!
But before I announce the production schedule and availability, I would like to share the company I partnered with to make this project happen that has greatly helped make this dream a reality... (Drum roll please)
I'm very excited to finally announce that Novel Keys will be producing and handling the hobby mat desk pad project
I would like to give a great big thanks to the NK team for covering the tough bits of producing this project that I might have honestly had difficulty with all on my own
and I especially appreciate the help from Riley for helping work with me to really dial in all the fine details
I don't know if the final product would look as good as it does now without all the help to get the revisions and sample runs made to polish everything up
And with that, now on to production! The mat will be made in stock immediately (NO GB)! the production will start as soon as NK pings all of their proxy partners and they have the final numbers needed to place the first order of stock.
The production will hopefully be expected in the early part of Q1 2022
things on here might be quiet for a little bit, as during production I don't expect to have a lot to update on, but you can guarantee that as soon as the project is almost ready to go live, I will be here again to notify everyone!
I'd also like to acknowledge those that have reached out to me personally on running proxy for the mat
I haven't passed it by NK yet, but if you are still interested in carrying the design, my advice would be to reach out to NK and ask directly about getting in on the first production run, as I would only be acting as the middle man if communications went through me since NK is handling the project delivery
)
Other than that, I'd like to give my appreciation to all that have commented on the thread in show of support, and I am extremely excited that the project is nearing completion and I can't wait to share it and get it into the hands of everyone who is as passionate about it as I am
