Hi everyone! It is finally time to launch the Group Buy for the Captured Lightning Wrist Rests!
The group buy will be open for two weeks through the Angry Nimbus website ending on March 11th.
The work will begin once the group buy is over with a delivery date no later than April 11th.
The group buy will not have a cap but if we exceed more than 30 orders, there will be a second batch delivered upon completion at a later date.
There are 3 wood options available.
Pine is the base wood and it will be available with a Natural or the Black ebonized finish shown below for $50.
Maple will also be available in a Natural or Black finish for $60.
Walnut will only be available in a Natural finish for $60.

For the group buy we are offering the following preset lengths with custom sizes becoming available for order after the group buy has been completed.
Length:
60% - 11.75" x 3.5" x 3/4"
65% - 12.5" x 3.5" x 3/4"
TKL - 14" x 3.5" x 3/4"
1800 - 15 ⅜” x 3.5” x 3/4"
Full Size - 17 ½” x 3.5” x 3/4"
There is also a choice of 10 different resin colors for the lightning! So hopefully there's something for everyone.
Here's a quick video of the fractal burning:
UPDATE 2/27/19
First off Rob (Angry Nimbus) and I want to thank everyone for the overwhelming support. We are on the verge of surpassing 60 orders! This means that we are approaching Batch 3 territory. As originally stated the first 30 orders (Batch 1) are to be fulfilled by April 11th with Batch 2 (orders 31-60) and any subsequent batches receiving a later delivery date that will be determined once progress is made on batch one and we can get a better estimate. To help alleviate some of the wait Rob will begin working on the GB orders ahead of schedule rather than waiting for the group buy to close. Thanks again for your interest and future patience ;)
UPDATE 3/8/19
Hey guys, just wanted to give you all a quick update. I spoke with Rob yesterday and he informed me that preparations are going well and that production is underway for the first batch. I believe he will be dropping an update with some additional info in the next few days before the GB closes so stay tuned!
UPDATE 3/11/19
Thanks again to everyone who joined. The group buy is officially closed!

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
It has been brought to my attention that the shipping on international orders is extremely high. The shipping prices are automatically generated by the e-commerce site, so I don't have direct control over them. However, it looks like some shipping options that I have selected are not appearing during checkout (such as First Class International). I am working to remedy this situation as quickly as possible, so please bear with me while I figure this out. I will update the thread once I have found a solution. If you are having this issue, please message me directly with your location. I will do my best to find the most affordable option for you. Thank you for your patience!

Hey, very excited about the wrist rests, is it possible to add metric measurements to the description if possible? Thank you.
I can work this up once I fix this shipping bug, please hold tight!
Is there any kind of finish/sealer put on? Polyeurthane?
All of these will be finished with a gloss UV protective Polyurethane to protect them. :thumb:

What color resin is shown on the ebony rest posted in OP? Also is there any reason the Walnut can't get the dark finish?
The resin colors shown in the prototype are a teal and purple swirl. Those are flat colors that were selected for his particular needs, but there are similar color options like deep velvet, emerald isle, and a bunch of blues. Currently, I am not offering color swirls on this group buy.
I am only offering Walnut in a natural finish, as it is already quite dark. If you want a hardwood rest with black, Maple is available with black stain.
Thanks!

Any sample pics of the lightning colors? What's the difference between green apple and emerald isles? What color is "deep velvet" (which I usually think of as a fabric rather than a color)?

There's some sample pics in the website, emerald isles is an emerald green as per the name and green apple seems to just be a more "neon" style bright green, aka apple green. Deep Velvet was purple iirc but yea they're at the bottom of the page(s) where you order!

Shucks that's a bummer, it looks so good! I get simplifying everything though for GB purposes. Thanks!

I am happy to announce that this bug should be fixed now. There was a default weight set in the parameters of the website which has now been updated. It may take a little time for the updates to hit my site, but cheaper options should now be available for all products. If you are still seeing exorbitant rates, please message me directly or post here. These are all shipped from zip code 18938, and the packages weigh in around 2.5lbs. The cheapest option should be 'USPS First Class Package International". If you do not see this option, or the shipping still looks too high, you can check what your shipping should be using the calculator below. Input your country at the top, 18938 as the zip code of origin and select "calculate price based on shape and size". If there is a discrepancy, I will figure it out, but the shipping quotes should be accurate now.

Thanks for understanding. Currently there are 250 different combinations available, but I understand wanting something custom. I do take custom orders, but the labor rate is higher. Feel free to send me an email with your request and I can work up a quote for you.

Just popped in to announce that there are currently already 24 wrist rest orders in my que, so we are approaching the 30 unit mark for the first batch. I did not expect such a fast response, but rest assured I am ready to get working on these ASAP. As stated previously, I am not putting a limit on the total number of orders. The first batch of 30 will be completed by April 11th. The next batch will be delivered at a later date, which I will be better able to determine once I see the full work load. Once again thank you so much for your orders! I'll be heading to the lumber yard tomorrow to select some stock and get started milling.

Just a quick question, will rubber bumpons be included to minimize the slippage of wrist wrests? I have some on my current wrist wrest and they definitely help with slippage on my desk. They can be bought in sheets on amazon, I just don't think I will personally go through 100-300 bumpons myself and they'd just go to waste vs if you distributed them as the gb runner.

Rubber bumpons were not part of the original design, but they should adhere to the polyurethane coating quite easily. The wrist rests are designed to be approximately 1/4" thick, so any bumpons would add to the height. I don't think jb1830 has had any issues with slippage, but I can see how that would be a useful feature.

Yea I didn't really think much about bumpons since I have a deskmat and i haven't had any slippage issues. Might be something worth looking into before delivery.

Could you share a picture of what the maple and pine look like with the dark stain?
I did some searches on what black stained maple might look like and came up with this... is it similar?

I am aiming for something a bit more black. I have ordered a few new tints to try out and find what works the best, but this is the goal (please note this does not appear to have finish on it, which will make it darker/richer):

I really want to order one of these but gotta wait until after 1st of this month, guess I be in the second set of orders when I do. I know you said you exceeded 30 orders already on reddit when found the post there. I am wondering since you got your first 30 orders are you planning on going ahead and starting instead of waiting till the group buy is over? Also Darker wood you first posted what is that? I wanted to make sure as I like the darker tone on it. I think it might match my desk nicely.
You have plenty of time. We are leaving the group buy open until March 11th to allow everyone to take advantage of the discounted price. As of this morning, I am now close to 60 orders, so we are almost into the third batch. I will have a better idea of delivery date on the 2nd and 3rd batch once I get the first one underway. Originally, I hadn't expected so many orders so I was going to wait until the close of the group buy to begin selecting and milling lumber. However, now that the first batch is in and I see the trend in orders, there is no reason to wait. I'll be making a trip to the lumber yard shortly to sort through the stacks and find some pretty wood. In the meantime have suspended taking any more commissioned work until the group buy orders are completed to give them priority.
The dark keyboard rest in the OP is black-stained pine. I don't have any examples to show, but I am also offering black-stained Maple. The Maple is much more durable than pine and tends to stain more evenly. Both will be very dark, almost black in color when they are finished. I am also offering Walnut, which is a naturally dark brown wood that looks amazing when paired with black (or anything IMO). Let me know if you have any more questions!

I was going to wait because I was indecisive on how dark Black was going to be, but I went ahead and pulled the trigger. Excited to see how these turn out. Thanks a lot for doing this!
I just picked up what I believe should be enough Maple and Walnut for the first 2 batches. Once I have some scrap I will do some test pieces and update the thread with pictures. All the wood I got is from the same tree, so it should all stain similarly.
Appreciate the constant updates on the process! :thumb:
I will do my best to keep updating the thread as I move through the project. You can also catch my feed through FB (Angry Nimbus Woodcraft) and IG (@angrynimbuswoodcraft). Speaking of updates, I took a trip to my favorite lumberyard/mill today and spent some time sorting through the stacks to find Walnut and Maple stock. I found some gorgeous 4/4 Black Walnut and some really clear, white Hard Maple. I thought you all might like to see where your wood is coming from, as most of us are used to seeing clean cut, dimensional lumber at the big box store. This place is a bit different. They have a tree service that sources timbers, a big mill onsite and a wood kiln, which is used to dry the wood so it can be worked quickly and reduce warping. Here is a walkthrough of what they call "the barn". I call it "slab city":

Heres a shot of that big redwood burl that I walked past. Its almost as large as the pricetag:

I know a lot of you were asking about Ebony and this place does have it in stock. I wanted to give you an idea of the price this stuff goes for. The rough sawn piece of Gaboon Ebony you see in my hand here is valued at $320. Yes you read that right...just the one piece. You will often see Ebony used for ornamental pieces or on musical instruments. Behind it you can see some Madagascar Ebony and other exotics:

The rest of these shots are some of the boards I brought home. Once I get them laid out in the shop and go through them, Ill try to get some better pics. Its hard to capture how they look in person, but it was totally worth pullling out every other plank in the section to find these. They are gonna look awesome! These are all Maple Walnut:

Most of you are likely familiar with dimensional lumber, which is what you find at the home goods/construction store. What you see below are boards directly out of the kiln. These are all rough sawn to 4/4 (or 1" thick) and then dried. During the drying process the wood moves and shrinks. Now that they are dry and stable, they go into my shop for a few days to climatize, and then I will start milling them down to the right thickness and cutting them to width for burning.

Would you be able to post pictures of all 3 of the different types of wood along with their stained counterparts from the early GB ones you've started working on before the end of the GB? I want to get one,but I'm having a little trouble narrowing down the options and I think seeing some of your works in progress would be extremely useful.
I don't think I will have completed versions of all three by the end of the group buy, but I was planning to so some color samples of the black stained pine and maple so people can get an idea what to expect. I've had a lot of requests to see what the Ebonized maple will look like and it is the most popular choice by far, so once the lumber is milled (which will happen tomorrow) I can start to break it down and I should have some scraps to play with. I ordered some new, high-quality dye for this project which should arrive later this week. At that point I will try to produce some quick samples and post the results. I understand it can be difficult to choose when you don't have something to look at, so I'm doing my best to keep everyone updated and get some samples made. If you want to message me with a pic of your keyboard, I might be able to offer some suggestions. Hope that helps!

I still seem to only have 62USD at the only shipping option, want me to PM you with my email?
You are not alone! Also you bring up a great question.
The best way for me to check on a shipping quote is to message me through the website. That way I can link your name to the abandoned cart, check the shipping and message you directly. I know a lot of people are seeing a high shipping cost, and I am actively trying to find a more affordable option. Shopify automatically calculates shipping based on the shipping method, you chose, package weight and the destination, but that doesn't mean it's accurate. I don't have enough experience with the platform to be certain.
Once I have the lumber milled down and cut into blanks, I will mock up a shipping package and bring it to the post office to see if there's a better option. I appreciate everyone's patience while I try to sort this out. International shipping is new for me, but I'm working on it! Additionally, if you made (or make) an order with me and you are charged in excess of the actual shipping when I send your order, I will refund the difference. I'm not trying to make any money on the shipping. My goal is to get all of this figured out early next week, with actual wooden blanks and packaging at the post office so I can update everyone and provide dead-on accurate shipping quotes. I feel like there is some back end error when Shopify calculates the shipping based on everyone's feedback, but I will get to the bottom of it.
Here's what I've found so far. The cheapest option that I have found for international is USPS First Class Package International. There are some weight and package dimension parameters and these rests weigh in around 2lbs, with some being heavier than others due to length and wood species. I have a feeling that shopify is calculating something incorrectly for those of you who were looking at purchasing 2 wrist rests ($60+ quotes). The average shipping on international orders of one wrist rest thus far as been $30-35. Below is a link to the shipping calculator on the USPS site if you want to check it out on your own. You will need to select your country, input my zip code (18938) and click "Calculate price based on shape and size". I weighed a 17" long Maple board of the approximate size that my largest blanks will be and it came in around 1.5lbs. Add padding to protect the wrist rest and the box, and I think it will be around 2 lbs (1Kg). There is a significant price jump at 2 lbs, which may account for the higher rates people are seeing. Again, I should have the details nailed down by later this week and I will update you. I hope this helps!

UPDATE 3/8/19
Hey guys, just wanted to give you all a quick update. I spoke with Rob yesterday and he informed me that preparations are going well and that production is underway for the first batch. I believe he will be dropping an update with some additional info in the next few days before the GB closes so stay tuned!

International shipping update:
Many of you mentioned the high cost of shipping. Initially there was an issue with how the weight was calculated through the website. I fixed that last week, but some people were still reporting high costs, especially those of you who were interested in buying 2 or more wrist rests. Unfortunately, those costs are accurate. These wrist rests weigh in around 2.5 lbs each with the packaging, and the weight limit for USPS first class package international is 4 lbs. So if you ordered two, they must be shipped separately, or you have to choose a different shipping method which isn't any cheaper. I have included a chart below that shows the parameters. The average shipping charge for the international orders I have is between $30-$35, and this didn't seem to change much between Canada and Australia. It just gets expensive once it has to cross a border. Speaking of which, Customs charges are not included in the shipping you pay at checkout. They are different for every country, and must be paid by you when your order arrives. I was really hoping to find a cheaper alternative, but I have exhausted all the possibilities at this point. Once again, if the actual shipping charges are lower than what you paid at checkout, I will refund the difference when they go out, but I wouldn't expect them to change very much. If you tried to place an international order before and were deterred by high shipping, please check once more to make sure you are getting the most up to date pricing.

Progress in the shop:
The first step in milling down the raw lumber is to let it climatize to my shop. Its extremely cold and dry right now, but the wood was inside a climate controlled building when I bought it. Giving the wood some time to adjust to this climate reduces the chance of warping and changing shape when I cut it down to size. Then I brought it over to my buddies shop to borrow his planer (thicknesser for those of you across the pond). I don't have one in my shop and its imperative for bringing down the thickeness of the rough stock, which is about 1". Once that was complete, I allowed it to sit for another day, which allows any internal stresses in the wood to release. Sometimes wood will warp or bend after being planed, so this allows me to make sure I will have straight flat boards when I cut them down and help prevent dangerous binding while cutting. After that I made a whole bunch of sawdust cutting the boards down into wrist rest "blanks" that I will burn. As of this afternoon, I have about 60 blanks cut, which is enough to cover the first two batches. Once the GB ends, I will cut the remaining blanks and have them at the ready to speed up the process down the road and get completely organized for the burning and resin fills. Below you will find some links to videos of the milling process and the big pile of wrist rest blanks that are now occupying my hardware bench. I have also added more photos to the Geekhack album, which is also linked below.

Milling some raw maple boards to thickness: (VERY LOUD, TURN DOWN YOUR VOLUME!!)

Color Samples:
I threw together a few color samples today. However, the sun is going down and the finish is still drying. Please bear with me until tomorrow so I can polish them up and grab some video in real sunlight. My shop lights are quite blue, and they make it difficult to see detail and figure. I can tell you that the new black dye that I picked up for this project is awesome. It produces a more even tone than the prototype, and gives me a little more control with how dark the pieces get, from translucent black all the way up to completely blackened. It also highlights the figure in the Maple, creating a cat-eye effect that you just don't get with regular stain. The pine doesn't really have any figure, so it just gets very black. It still looks good, but has far less visual interest IMO. I appreciate your patience while I get these together. I had to wait for the dye to arrive, and I wanted to use wood from the actual boards I picked up so you get an accurate idea of what these will look like when they are finished. Finishing them is my first task tomorrow, so you wont have to wait much longer.
Currently I have 77 orders in, which means we are nearing the cutoff for the third batch (90). I do not have a cap on orders for this group buy, but any orders past 90 will arrive later, in the 4th batch. This week I will begin burning the first batch of orders, which is the longest leg of the process. I will provide more updates as the weeks go on, as well as delivery dates for the later batches. Once again thank you all for your support and your orders! I'm going to be out in the shop 7 days a week to get these done as quickly as possible.

Can't even express how much I appreciate these updated posts. Love the communication and the hard work!
True. This kind of involvement is not something we often see by even older members of the community and it is most definitely welcome - I'm still waiting to decide on what to order but I also want to mention I'm thankful for the ironing out of all the details when it comes to international shipping, as well as your desire to keep lead times as short as possible despite the massive influx of orders compared to what was initially planned for.
Well done!

I got ebonized maple with blue denim, but the video kind of makes me wish I had went for walnut. hmm
Is it possible to change my wood, or cancel my first order and make a new one?
I will shoot you a private message to get your order number and see if I can accomodate the change. At this point all of the lumber I purchased has been milled and cut into blanks, so the production on your order has likely already begun.

Thanks for the GB! Just before I hit go, what's the colour of the tint on the ebonized rest in your first post? I'm considering going purple, but I'm not sure if that would be too dark with the ebonized wood.
Hey! Sorry I missed this with the update. The tint on the prototype was a custom color blend of flat teals and purple. I think the deep velvet will look great with ebonized maple, but if you want some stark contrast, I would go for something a bit lighter to make it pop. All of the pigment I use are mica powders, so there will be some luster even with dark colored resin.

Can't even express how much I appreciate these updated posts. Love the communication and the hard work!
True. This kind of involvement is not something we often see by even older members of the community and it is most definitely welcome - I'm still waiting to decide on what to order but I also want to mention I'm thankful for the ironing out of all the details when it comes to international shipping, as well as your desire to keep lead times as short as possible despite the massive influx of orders compared to what was initially planned for.
Well done!
Much appreciated! I've been in the community for a while and participated in my fair share of GBs that have been less than stellar so when planning this I wanted to make sure we were as transparent as possible and kept you guys updated. Rob definitely understood this and to his credit decided to join GH and handle a lot of the updates directly which definitely makes my life easy as the GB runner :cool:
Seriously though we can't thank everyone enough for the amazing support. It's been beyond expectations and I can't wait for you guys to get your rests and to see them popping up in pictures!
Also for those of you still waiting to make a decision, tomorrow is your last day!!!!!

Yes, this can't be overstated. I am so blown away by the response here, and so appreciative of everyone's support and interest in my work.
Tomorrow is indeed the last day of this group buy. To be specific, the sale will end at 11:59 PM (Eastern Standard Time). After that time the page for the wrist rests will go down for maintenance, and the price will be adjusted to represent my normal labor rate for custom orders. Any new custom orders (after the group buy) will be on hold until I complete the group buy orders. Actually, just about everything here is going to be on hold until I complete the group buy orders. I can't wait to see them finished!
I'm very interested, but having a hard time choosing the resin color for a Walnut rest. I've narrowed it down to Atlantic Blue, Pearlescent White, or Gold Rush. Any suggestions?
Those are all great choices to pair with Walnut. Of those 3, I would prolly go with the pearl white, followed by the Atlantic Blue. IMO walnut and pearl white will look great with just about anything.

Hey, which resin is it you show at the end of the video from the IC thread? Based on the images from the purchase site, it looks closest to "Wild Plum", is that correct? I wanted a reddish orange, but can't decide if "My Clementine" is my only option for orange, or if the "Wild Plum" actually looks reddish orange, or just brownish red. Any help will help decide which, if any I end up getting, thanks!
The one in the video is wild plum. I think "Merlot" would be a better description, as it reminds of of red wine. Clementine is very orange, not at all red. Every monitor displays color a bit differently, so it may look slightly different on your monitor than it does in real life. Shoot me a message if you have any specific questions or want to send me a pic of your keyboard so I can a suggestion.

OK, thanks for that description! If that's the case I'll probably just go with the clementine to make sure I get orange. Looking forward to seeing it in person, as well as all the other ones people ordered when they post pics!

Me too! Yeah the My Clementine is a solid, bright orange color. I believe I see your order here, its gonna look awesome with the ebonized maple.

Once again I want to thank you all so much for the opportunity to make these wrist rests. The response here has been amazing and everyone in the community that I have messaged or spoken with has been a pleasure to deal with. I'm beyond excited to be sending my work around the world to uphold weary wrists and brighten desks & workspaces alongside sweet custom keyboard creations. I will post updates periodically and add photos to the public album as they become available. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

The final tally was 101 wrist rests and I am so thankful for each one of your orders! As stated previously, these orders will be broken down (and mailed out) in batches of 30. I think with the last batch, I will simply include the additional 11 units (batch of 41) and mail out the last batch as they become available to reduce individual wait time. Once I get through a batch, I should have a much better gauge of the actual time it takes to complete these. At that time I will be able to provide an accurate timeline for subsequent batches. I will posts updates here from time to time to keep you informed on where I am in the project. If you have any specific questions, please post them here or shoot me a private message.
These look great. Wishing I had gotten in earlier, but I'm sure they will be worth the wait.
I super appreciate your order and your patience while I get these all made. Production on the first batch is already under way and I will be able to update the timeline for subsequent batches once I see how long the first one takes in real-time.
Thanks for the suggestion and the reminder, I got my order placed in time. Looking forward to seeing the finished product!
No problem. Thanks for your support!

Hi everyone! Just popping in with a little update. I have completed the burns on the first batch of rests and they are now drying in preparation for the next step. When wood gets wet, it tends to warp and twist a bit. So once they are dry, I will flatten the bottoms of each rest to make them lie perfectly flat again, and then fill the burn channels with resin. The resin takes several days to completely cure before I can scrape and sand it back before final sanding, edge treatment, staining and finishing. I put together a quick video of this weeks progress, which you can watch by hitting the link below.

Looking good :) I like how you are able to influence the spread and direction of the burns by careful placement of the electrodes.
Thanks! Manipulating probe placement and input amperage, the saturation level of the wood, the concentration of the conductive solution, airflow, grain structure and ambient temp/humidity are all factors that have a role in it. It doesn't always react how you would expect though. Each piece of wood has its own pattern that wants to come out.
Is the wood stained before the resin is added? If not, how do you avoid it messing with the resin?
For the black, I am using a solvent based dye instead of an oil based stain. It doesn't leave a residue, so I can lay it down before and/or after the resin is applied. Once its set in the grain and sanded back, it doesn't bleed out.

Hey folks! Popping in with a quick video update. Last time we saw all of the boards burned, cleaned and clamped to dry. After a few days drying time, the boards were brought back to the shop. Although the boards were milled flat and clamped flat while drying, the burn process still causes them to warp a bit. This is just part of the game when you introduce moisture and heat to raw wooden surfaces. Using the machined surface of my tablesaw as a reference for flatness, each board was hand-planed on the underside to make it flat once again. Then each one is finish sanded on both sides to prepare the surface for resin. The next step in the process has already begun, but that will be in the next video. Thanks for checking it out!

I gotta be honest. It was worth what I paid for this just to watch the process. I keep watching and wondering which of these little masterpieces is mine. ;D

I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, I enjoy making them. You should be able to narrow down which one is yours in the next video, as they will all be going into stain and resin.
Love the videos and I didn't realize how much work goes into these. Very excited to receive mine.
Thanks! They are definitely more work than meets the eye. But the bulk of the work is done now, only a few more processes to get this batch on the road and headed towards your door.

Wow that ebonized palm is incredible. Is there any chance I could change my order to that from walnut? If not totally understandable i'm sure you've ordered all the wood/stuff based on the GB.
Sorry, but at this point I can no longer make alterations to any orders. All of the lumber has been purchased, and half of it has already been milled and cut into blanks. Trust me though, you are not going to be disappointed with the walnut. I dug through the stacks to find some really pretty boards for this project.

No problem at all thanks for the reply! I am sure I will love it. I have a few other walnut wrist rests they're awesome!

Last time we saw the boards being flattened and sanded to prep them for resin. A lot has happened since then. Each ebonized order has been "pre-stained" to ensure an even color in the final product. When the resin is applied, some of it is absorbed into the pores of the wood, which seals them off. This would prevent the stain from penetrating and result in areas that have no stain at all. Much of this stain is removed through sanding and scraping later, but I feel its an important step that has a dramatic effect on the end product. After the stain dried, I poured a whole bunch of resin. The epoxy I use is a two-part, UV stable, thermo-set plastic. Once its completely mixed, you have about 10 minutes before it starts to gum up, and fully cures in about 48 hours. The short pot life means I have to work fast, so I do this in batches (one for each color). This stuff isn't cheap, so I pour the excess resin into hardwood flooring scraps to make bottle openers and other small items. Once the resin is fully cured, I move on to cleaning up the top of each board. Some resin soaks in and some pools on top, but all of the mica powder will lie on top of the wood. To clean this up and reveal the details I use a card scraper, which leaves a glass-smooth finish that you just cant get with sandpaper, especially on figured wood.
We are nearing the finish line for batch #1 and they are finally starting to look like wrist rests. I have a few more processes to get through and they will be complete!

So were your hands sore after using the card scraper?
Do you have a favorite wood type and resin color combination?

Hey look! There is mine!
So were your hands sore after using the card scraper?
Do you have a favorite wood type and resin color combination?
Yes, all that card scraping is tough on your hands. I definitely had some sore thumbs after cleaning up all those boards. I use a fridge magnet on the back of the card to pad it a bit and dissipate the heat, but it still hurts after a while. Can't beat the finish though!
I think my current favorites from this batch are Walnut/Deep Velvet, Ebonized Maple/Emerald Isles, and natural Maple/Atlantic Blue. It's hard to pick a favorite TBH.

I had a few people ask me about bump-ons, so I went ahead and ordered a bulk package. These were not part of the original design, but your package will include a loose set of four 3M SJ5302 Bump-ons, which you can choose to attach at your discretion. If you like the rest as is, then you have them for something else! Just a little thank you for being an awesome bunch. I also got some sweet stickers printed out, and you will be getting one of those as well.
I took a quick phone video to show you what things are looking like in the shop. This is the underside of the wrist rests with finish that is almost completely dry:
https://youtu.be/bV2n210WmuU (https://youtu.be/bV2n210WmuU)
I'm going to wait on editing the rest of the video until these are in the mail and production on the second batch is underway. I have a few ideas to speed up production on the next batches, but I think the timeline will be similar to the first batch which was a little over a month. These are taking a lot more hours than I expected, but I want to ensure every one is the best quality that I can produce. I will continue to provide updates with the next batch, but I might skip filming some of the more repetitive parts as that takes quite a bit of time on top of the work to be done.

Wow, extremely impressive for a first round. You’ve outdone expectations. I missed the window to get in on this round but wow, if this opens again, you’ll be flooded with new orders! All the best and please take care, always a bummer to hear artisans injured and I am hoping for your speedy recovery.
Thanks for the update. Please take care of your back!

Thanks! I really appreciate your concern. I have had severe back issues all my life, and lots of treatment including lumbar surgery and physical therapy. It was actually one of the big motivations for me to quit the automotive repair industry (after 15+ years) and start a small business. I reinjured it quite badly last year and spent about 4 months in bed. All that time lying down left me with no excuses to file all the LLC paperwork and get organized. When my spine tells me to take it easy, I listen. But I am back up and moving, just takes a bit longer to get out of bed and get my shoes on.

We are currently running a few days behind schedule. Rob is completing the final steps of production and will start shipping out batch 01 rests in the next couple days. I'm sure he'll be posting another update soon. I've seen a video of the recently completed rests and they are drool worthy :p
On a side note I'm jealous of all of you. Rob has really stepped up his game from when we did my prototype and these are looking incredible!

I know a lot of us have been there and have learned to live with it but doesn't make it suck any less. It's why we've tried to keep the updates coming and split orders into batches to make sure we could manage and meet expectations. We appreciate everyone's patience and kind words, and are excited to deliver a product that we hope you'll love.

Once they are all finished and polished, I will get some glamor shots before I head to the post office. I'm really excited to see them paired up with the keyboards they were made for. Once again, thank you for your patience. I hate to get behind on a deadline, but not as much as I hate putting out unfinished work.

Ive been putting 1-2 coats of finish on these each day and they are finally developing a topcoat. Usually this only takes 3-4 coats, but some of the wrist rests have been incredibly thirsty. Most of these have 6-7 coats by now. Some of the wrist rests are ready to ship, some need a final scuff and coat of sealer to get rid of the dust nibs and surface imperfections. Each coat of polyurethane takes 8-12 hours to dry, so in between finishing I am working on the next batches to get a head start. Please bear with me while I get the first batch to the finish line, they are SO close to being done. Once they go out, you will receive an email with the shipping info through my website. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Oh my goodness these look amazing! Seeing the different colour combinations, I’ll definitely be looking at ordering another one when orders reopen in the future. Thanks for being so meticulous with these and generous with the updates.
Man! They look awesome! I wish I had joined sooner to get it sooner!
Oh boy this is how a GB should be done! I am unfortunately not a part of the first batch but i do not mind the wait at all thanks for being so communicative! Can't wait for mine :)

Video Update: https://youtu.be/X6Lw-rsMr8M (https://youtu.be/X6Lw-rsMr8M)
In the last video update, I spoke about wet sanding and polishing the wrist rests. I began doing this on the underside of each one, but I found it was difficult to acheive a full gloss finish. I did a little more research with the manufacturer and they recommended waiting for a full cure to polish out a gloss finish. So instead, I went back and recoated each wrist rest in the most dust free environment I could create. The result is the best finish that I can achieve without waiting a full month before wet sanding and polishing. They are all nearly perfect aside from a few dust specs, but if you are unsatisfied with the finish and want it to be glass-smooth, its a very simple procedure to wet sand and polish the surface that doesn't require any tools, and I can walk you through it. You just need to wait for the coating to fully cure. Additionally, I had a few orders that had to stay with me a little longer to fix surface imperfections. If your order was affected, you have been sent an email.
All of the lumber for the remaining orders was milled to thickness on Saturday, which means I can start cutting the rest of the blanks as time allows. I have 19 blanks which are already cut, and half of those have been burned and dried, making them ready for resin. My goal is to have that finished by weeks end so I can get a jump start on the remaining orders.
I snapped a bunch of pictures this morning before boxing them up, and added them to the album, which you can find here: https://photos.google.com/u/1/share/AF1QipMqZyaJl-dO8X1y_Nj61veqKTMBq5SYzy5tVHcfAU3LkM1XeGb54DKLyQcrg-A7UQ?key=ZG9kaS1VbE9YZWpCR3JMeGJoOWNKand3X1doU1NB (https://photos.google.com/u/1/share/AF1QipMqZyaJl-dO8X1y_Nj61veqKTMBq5SYzy5tVHcfAU3LkM1XeGb54DKLyQcrg-A7UQ?key=ZG9kaS1VbE9YZWpCR3JMeGJoOWNKand3X1doU1NB)
Thanks for following along!
Oh my goodness, these are amazing. Please let us know if you do plan on a second run. Your work far exceeded expectations and I missed the window to join.
Thank you! Once all of these orders are complete, I will be reposting the product page on my website for custom orders. I can't take any more commission work until these are finished.

Mine is on the way!!! So stoked for this! Thank you for doing this so smoothly. The video updates are amazing. I really appreciate it
My pleasure!
I just finished inputting all of the tracking numbers for the first batch, and you should receive an email with the shipping information. I also refunded any shipping overcharge that was incurred. If you didn't get a refund, that means your shipping was actually higher than what you paid and I have absorbed those costs.
If you are in the first batch and you have not received a shipping number or an email from me, please contact me through my website. This makes it much easier to retrieve your order information. Thank you!

I just got my wrist rest and I am honestly blown away at the quality. Unreal! So glad I went in on this GB. I'll post a picture once my build comes in!
Great work :thumb:

Thanks for posting the pic here! Many of the first batch have been delivered (mostly orders from the east coast) and pictures are starting to pop up. I'm so excited to see these paired with the board they were made for. If you have received yours, please post it up here. I would love to add some pictures to my webpage and social media galleries, so let me know if you are OK with me using them. I will not use any of your photos without your permission. I had one local order that was picked up at my shop. He was nice enough to bring his board so I could grab a shot on the stack of raw lumber that will become the remaining orders. I can't believe how heavy this keyboard was! Really cool to see these custom units in person.I edited my post above to include a better picture, taken outside as you suggested over on reddit. Matches the actual colors much better! Feel free to use the pic any way you like.

Thanks! The colors are definitely more true with natural sunlight. I appreciate you grabbing the extra shot.

It looks like most of the first batch has been delivered, and I'm starting to get some photos in my inbox which is awesome motivation while I crank away on the rest of these. Please share your shots here if you don't mind. Also, if you have any feedback (positive or negative) I would love to hear it so I can continue to improve my products and service. I have another weekly update in the works, but there is still a bunch of footage for me to sort through and edit. I'm hoping to have it posted by tonight.

Do you see that bit of slope downwards towards the end? I think that slopes feels better on my wrist than just a straight block. Do you think it possible to add this slight angle downwards on future products?

Doing that bevel cut would not be too difficult, just a few more steps in the process. The burns can wrap around corners and curves with no issue. However it would cause issues doing the resin inlay, as it goes down as a liquid and everything would flow down that sloped face.

I know from talking to Rob that adding an angle makes it a bit more difficult for him to work the wood. If you want a slight angle you can probably do it by using the included bump-ons on one end but not the other.

Speaking of accuracy, I made a little mistake on an order in the first batch. I transcribed a size incorrectly, and ended up making the wrong size. I sent an email to the person who ordered it, but I have not heard back. If you were order #1022, please check your email (possibly spam folder as it gets sent through my website). I have already started remaking your order in the correct size. This particular order did not match any of the later orders, so I am offering it up to people who missed the boat on the group buy. It is a 60% (11.75") Natural Maple with Atlantic Blue resin inlay, pictured below. If you are interested in snapping it up, just shoot me a message.
That's it for this week, thanks for following along!

Hi everybody! Your Tuesday update became a Wednesday update after I lost an entire video edit and cried myself to sleep. But I came back strong this morning and remade the whole thing. Its a bit longer than the last few videos because I have been BUSY cranking away on these wrist rests. Last time I checked in, you saw all the lumber had been milled to thickness. Since then I have cut it all down to individual blanks for every remaining order, and burned all of the blanks for Batch #2, along with some from Batch #3. All of the blanks are labeled and double checked to make sure they are correct. This is great because now there is no more down time waiting for lumber to climatise or be milled, and no more trips to the lumber yard for more stock. I can continue to burn small batches when I have down time (like waiting for resin to cure, etc) which will help to get the timeline back on track. Batch #2 is about to be sanded, pre-stained and then straight to resin. That will hopefully be done by Friday so it can cure over the weekend. I also purchased a new (used) tool called a jointer that will hopefully speed up the flattening process, but I have to tune it up and make some adjustments to get it working properly. If I can figure it out, it should cut flattening time in half and increase my accuracy, which is huge.

My Wrist Rest arrived on Saturday however have had bad weather for the past few days, but managed to catch a 15 min window with the sun coming through my window. the photo does not do full justice of the amazing hues in the pine wood but it is going to be the best i can do for now
Ah man if that photo doesn't do full justice then it must look insane cause it looks great in that photo!
All these photos of people's builds with the wrist rest are having me itching to get mine. Can't wait! :)

Sorry I missed the update this week. It totally slipped my mind. These pictures are looking awesome! Please keep them coming.
I don't have a video for you this week. I have continued to film the project, but views on the videos have been dropping a lot, and editing them eats up a lot of hours (especially when my computer decides its had enough and crashes the program). I have been spending that editing time working on the wrist rests instead. When time allows, I will get back in the editing chair and put some videos together.
In the last update, Batch #2 was millled, cut into blanks, fractal burned and clamped to dry. Since then, they have been sanded and pre-stained (for the ebonized orders), inlayed with resin, cured, scraped and flattened. Thanks to the new tooling that I brought into the shop, the flattening process went much faster. This is the current situation in the shop:

This is all of Batch #2 and a few of Batch #3 that snuck in because they were ready for resin. I'm really happy with how they are coming along. Up next they will all be cut to final length, sanded on all sides and edge profiled (rounding the edges), restained, stamped and sealed with polyurethane. After that I will get cranking on Batch #3. The third and final batch is actually the largest. There are a total of 44 orders which amounts to a very big pile of wood. Instead of doing a batch of 30, and then a final batch of 14, they will all be moving through the steps together. Working in big batches is more efficient, but it can make some of the tasks difficult and lead to mistakes. Boredom leads to complacency, and nothing is more boring than sanding 44 blocks of wood in a row. To make sure I keep a high level of quality with so many pieces, I am going to break these up into smaller batches based on the resin color. This way, I can have several small batches moving through each stage of the finishing process, and simply do a little bit on each batch daily. I think it might work out best if I mail these out as they are finished, but I will be better able to make that decision when the time comes. That's it for this week!

Based upon this experience thus far I'd definitely go back for a second rest for another build. I can't wait to see it in person!
Post by: Angry Nimbus Woodcraft on Wed, 22 May 2019, 07:46:39
I have also been considering new options, colors and strategies for when my custom order book reopens (after the last batch is complete). I would like to hear your input so I can see what people want. Right now I am thinking about adding Purpleheart, Curly Maple, Mahogany and Wenge for wood choices, but they need to be tested to see if they will burn well. There is an endless variety of colors and pigments available, so the sky is the limit for that. If you have suggestions or desires, please comment below and let me know!
I think the biggest take-away from this project is that I would prefer to work in smaller batches. As much as I appreciate the financial stability of having lots of pending orders, accepting 100+ custom orders is a huge workload on top of the rest of the tasks involved with operating a small craft business. I am the only employee here, which means I also have to handle administrative duties, social media, booking shows, replenishing my stock and creating new products. These other aspects have suffered from my focus on the wrist rests. Additionally, I feel like constantly making the same thing has taken a toll on my creative output, which is the entire reason I quit working as a mechanic and started this journey. My current plan is to take up to 10 custom wrist rest orders each month, but include more options to allow deeper customization. I may increase this number during the winter, when business is slower (due to the lack of craft shows and post-holiday reduction in purchases). The second take-away is that I can't sustain the original group buy price. When I made the original wrist rest for JB1830, I didn't encounter any issues with warping or lose product due to blemishes and waste from milling. The amount of hours I have poured into the first few batches is over two times what I had estimated from the first build. I don't have a final price point yet, but I will determine that once I have all the factors nailed down.
Don't get me wrong, these are not complaints by any means. This is a new business for me and a complete departure from my old career, so I am still learning how to run it. I truly appreciate every single order that you all have made. You are literally keeping the roof over my head right now as I grow and establish myself in the craft community. Without them, I would have to get a second job to pay the bills. Thank you so much for keeping my dream alive!

Hey everybody! Just popping in with a quick update. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to make much progress on batch 2 over the past week. We have had an incredibly rainy spring here, with almost constant, daily rain. While my little shop does have a roof, it is not climate controlled. With lots of rain, comes lots of humidity and moisture in the air. All of the lumber that I buy is kiln dried down to a workable moisture content, but raw wood (and even finished wood for that matter) is constantly "breathing" which means it will absorb moisture out of the surrounding air. This isn't a problem for most of the steps in my process, but it is critical for when I flatten the boards out. I generally do the flattening in two stages. The first is a rough planing to remove any twisting or cupping that occurs after the lumber is milled, then the boards are allowed to sit for a day or two for any internal stresses to release and they are checked for flatness again. Almost all of them will require another few passes at the jointer to get them dead flat, remove tear-out and get them down to final thickness. Once the second stage is complete, there is not enough material to go back and flatten them again. For this reason, I have been waiting for things to dry out so I can be sure they won't warp later when they dry out. If I skip this step and rush it, I might end up with wobbly wrist rests that are too thin to go back and flatten again. Instead I have started to do the burns on the last batch, because excess moisture is not a concern. If any of you follow me on IG, you may have seen that I had a show last weekend at a Winery in Southern NJ. We were lucky enough to have 2 hot, sunny days and the weather has stayed in that pattern, which means that the batch 2 rests will finally be able to dry out (cross your fingers). Once I am confident the moisture content has stabalized, i will perform the second flattening and move on to trimming, edge treatment and finishing. I will be out of town for the last week of this month on a long awaited trip to Maine, but I am really hoping to have batch #2 in the finishing room with a few coats of sealer on them, which will ensure that they stay dry and flat while I am gone.
I have also been considering new options, colors and strategies for when my custom order book reopens (after the last batch is complete). I would like to hear your input so I can see what people want. Right now I am thinking about adding Purpleheart, Curly Maple, Mahogany and Wenge for wood choices, but they need to be tested to see if they will burn well. There is an endless variety of colors and pigments available, so the sky is the limit for that. If you have suggestions or desires, please comment below and let me know!
I think the biggest take-away from this project is that I would prefer to work in smaller batches. As much as I appreciate the financial stability of having lots of pending orders, accepting 100+ custom orders is a huge workload on top of the rest of the tasks involved with operating a small craft business. I am the only employee here, which means I also have to handle administrative duties, social media, booking shows, replenishing my stock and creating new products. These other aspects have suffered from my focus on the wrist rests. Additionally, I feel like constantly making the same thing has taken a toll on my creative output, which is the entire reason I quit working as a mechanic and started this journey.

Well, you've been one of the best GB runners I've encountered. Your level of detail, care, and communication are off the chart. I don't think anyone wants a rushed product after seeing the fantastic results of the first batch, and I really don't think a price adjustment moving forward is unreasonable. :)
I appreciate all your hard work, Rob. After this initial gb, I don't think you'll have a problem filling your monthly quota!

Agreed with all of these points. I originally got one of these rests for my 60% and given the great communication and pictures i've seen so far (I'm in the last batch i think) I'll be the first one to hop onto a TKL sized one.
As far as suggestions, I would absolutely looove to see a wenge wrist rest. Or perhaps you could investigate other techniques to influence the burn design (different mounts of the burning part or varied voltage/current perhaps?).
Totally understandable with the cost increase too :)

That makes me feel REALLY good. If I had customers like you when I was running automotive repair shops, I might have never left the industry. So...win-win?

Ahhh that looks awesome. That Walnut/Purple combo is one of my favorites. Thank you for the picture! Would you mind if I use this for social media/website posts? You are welcome to watermark the photo so you get full credit.

I don't think it will be a problem to burn. I have burned some incredibly dense woods (like Ipe and Jatoba) without issue. But each wood reacts differently to the conductive solution that I use and I haven't had a chance to test Wenge as its pretty cost prohibitive and there in a minimum order quantity at my sawyer. The solution I use reacts with the tannins and compounds in the wood, resulting in discoloration. Sometimes I can mitigate it with an acid wash, but other times the staining cannot be reversed. I would hate to take a bunch of orders, buy the lumber and find out afterwards that I can't produce the expected result. I have been buying a lot of lumber from them recently, so next time I go in I will ask if they have any scraps or drops for me to play with. The other issue (which is more of a personal thing) is that Wenge is on the IUCN endangered list due to exploitation and climate related issues. With so many other fantastic wood species available, it feels irresponsible to contribute to its decline. I always look for responsibly sourced materials whenever possible. For example, in my area we are loosing all of the Ash trees to Emerald Ash Borer Beetles and many are being cut down to reduce their spread. Soon they will be quite rare, but all that wood ends up in someones fireplace. I would rather work with rare wood that is being felled with purpose, or would otherwise end up as charcoal. You can check out the details on Wenge and other species on this website. Its an awesome resource:
https://www.wood-database.com/wenge/ (https://www.wood-database.com/wenge/)
These look good I'm so mad I missed out on these. Hopefully there will be a round two.
Definitely going to be more rounds! I just want to do smaller batches to keep things fresh and maintain quality. I enjoy making them, but any time you do a repetitive process, you loose focus. I want each piece to receive the same focus on detail.

She picked up the Walnut case after I ordered maple, otherwise maple would have been the obvious pairing. But I love the way the maple makes the blue just pop!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190524/fe9c53fe7c5e634c4958a49d0e80e63a.jpg)

As for suggestions for future drops, someone had already mentioned offering an angled option. I second this, and add options for fine-tuning the height and angle for each order, especially if you're looking to offer smaller batches with more variety in the future! Big yes on purpleheart too, would love to match my headphones ;D

I sadly missed out on the first round. Will you be doing another round anytime soon? Beautiful work which I wish to have my hands on.I don't know when we'll do another group buy but I know that Rob plans on making the wrist rest available on his site after the GB is done.
My wife finally got a photo of the rest at work!Thanks again for sharing and the /r/mk post ;)

this is gaining some massive traction on r/mk - hoping I can get in on the next GB!Thanks. The rests will be available to custom order once the GB is finished and hopefully we'll have another GB in the near future.

Are all orders already out? I am still waiting for mine. Hope i get it soon.:)
He finished and shipped the first group, and has combined the second/third group together which are now being worked on.
That's my understanding at least.

Thanks for posting this both here and to Reddit. Its a great shot and I can't tell you how much I love the combo with the walnut and matching blue keys.

The first batch has been shipped and delivered. Second batch is in the final stages of completion and work has begun on the last batch. The last batch is the largest (basically a batch and a half). These will be mailing out as they are completed. Once the last batch is nearing completion, I will open the books for more orders. If you have specific questions on your order timeline, please send me a message through my website with your order number and I will get back to you. There is also a list further up in this thread that will tell you which batch your order is in, based on the order number. Thank you for your patience!

Any news on when batch #2 will ship?
Batch #2 is in the currently in finishing room getting coats of poly until they have a thick enough coating to cut and buff. Last time this process took longer (and many more coats) than expected, so optimistically they will start going out at the end of next week. Once I ship and load the tracking info into my website, you will receive an email with all the shipping details.

Sorry about the image quality. The overhead led lights make it tough to get clean shots on glossy surfaces, and there are some dark areas in the finishing room that are not great for photos.

Things have been rolling along here with the remaining wrist rests. I made a quick video so you can see the progress on batch #2 and update you on the last batch. If you want to wait until your order hits your doorstep to see what it looks like, don't hit the link!
Here's a quick summary of the video for those of you who want to keep the suspense: Batch #2 has received its final topcoat and they are looking awesome. The bottom side has already been finished with 3 coats, but there are some drips and runs from the top coats that I need to sand down. The bottoms will then get one more coat, which gives the top enough time to cure hard enough to buff out. The buffing process removes any little dust nips and imperfections to give the surface a smoother appearance and feel. After that I will grab some quick pictures and head to the post office. All the shipping supplies are here and ready to go. Meanwhile, I have been burning all the remaining blanks. As soon as batch 2 leaves the finishing room, all of the remaining orders will start going into resin.
Here's the video: https://youtu.be/1luyGkb7LJM (https://youtu.be/1luyGkb7LJM)

Any update on the final batch? :D
Hey sorry for the delay in response. The final batch is all burned and they are all going into resin. I will post a video of the burns as soon as I can throw one together.
It looks like these started shipping. Check your order on the website for the tracking number.
The second batch is indeed in the process of being shipped!
My website should send you an email when your shipping label is purchased/created. It takes a while to get them all packaged, so I missed the post office yesterday. But they are all sitting by my door and will be heading out shortly. Your tracking information should be updated later today once I drop them off. If you are in the second batch (Orders 1026-1054) and you have NOT received tracking information, please email me through the website (or respond through your order confirmation email) so that I can check on it.
As with the last batch, I had several orders that didn't pass final inspection and need a bit more finishing. If your order was affected, you will have receive an email update.

Which one of these is the Denim? I ordered Walnut Denim and its in the third batch. Tho i would like to see how it can look. And since the order form is already closed, i don't have the picture of denim for reference.

Yeah that color really pops with the Walnut. There were only a few orders for that color combo but its becoming a favorite!
I will start another round of orders once the remaining orders from the group buy are in the final stages of finishing.

Thanks for all the pictures. It makes me so happy to see these get matched with their keyboards!
Received my wrist rest a couple days ago along with my zend pond spacebar, and had to to take a picture! The wrist rest looks awesome, and I'll likely order another one once you open the orders again.

Thanks for the feedback! That keyboard looks awesome. I do my best to get the logo centered, but stamping it is a manual process and therefore it's not always perfect. I actually had that stamp made right after the group buy ended, so I am still figuring out a method to get the best results. As with most manual skills, it will likely improve with time. Meanwhile, its a great reminder that your rest is completely handmade by one person from start to finish. Just like your logo, I am also a bit off-center ;)
Every time I see one of those Koi Pond Caps I want to cry, so mad I missed out on the GB. At least I'll be able to get one of these bad ass Rests when the next GB happens ;).
Oof looking nice. If i had the money at the time :'(.
I will be making more of these soon, but I have to complete the last batch of orders before taking on more commissioned work. Stay tuned to this thread and I will make an announcement when I get close to opening the books again. Thanks for your interest!
UPDATE
The final batch has received the resin inlay and the are now curing. The weather has been insane here in PA the last few weeks. We are at the tail end of a massive heat wave and tons of rainfall. The humidity is off the charts, which is slowing down the flattening process. Although all of my lumber is kiln dried down to a low moisture content, raw wood "breathes" and will accept moisture from the air around it, which causes it to swell and change shape. If you have a wooden door in your house that gets hard to close or jams during the summer months, then you have experienced this phenomena. Because of this high moisture content, the wrist rest blanks are likely to change shape when they dry out. If I flatten them now, while the moisture is high, it is likely that they will warp or twist when they dry out. To avoid this, I will have to wait for the humidity to die down and allow the boards to dry out. In the meantime, I will move on to scraping and sanding the tops of the boards to remove the excess resin and prepare the surface for later. If we continue to see crazy humidity and rain, I will try moving the blanks inside my house to let them dry out. We only have one room with A/C, which makes it tough to lay them all out and still move around, so please bear with me while we wait for nature to stop being so crazy. Hopefully we will get some cooler, drier air soon.

Thanks for posting these pictures and the compliment. It matches that board really well!
This was one of my favorites from the last batch. This blank had quite a bit of "birdseye" figure in it that really popped with the dye stain and finish. Its hard to tell in the pics, but those little spots are almost holographic. They appear and disappear depending on the angle from which you view it.

This is correct. I will be taking more orders for these in the near future, once the group buy orders are completed. I am going to limit them to smaller batches, but you will have more options to customize them. Stay tuned for the announcement, because it looks like I should be wrapping these up in the next few weeks!
Here's an update on the last batch. They have all been scraped down on the top side, and today they got the first round of jointing/flattening. I grabbed some shots today just before I started flattening them. They will sit overnight to allow internal stresses to relax and check them again for flatness. This process will be repeated until they stay flat, at which point I can trim them to size, sand, treat the edges and begin the finishing process.

Hey Nimbus!
Are we almost getting ready to ship the 3rd groups rests? I'm so excited for this :)
Finally seeing that green apple with walnut has me wondering the same thing.
Hey folks. I thought I penned an update last week but I must have gotten distracted and closed the window. After the first round of flattening, I was still concerned about high moisture content in the wood due to the absurdly wet/humid summer weve been having. Raw wood expands and contracts quite a bit as it absorbs moisture from the air around it, and the concern is that the wrist rest could warp once it settles into a cooler, drier enviroment (like your climate conditioned house). After consulting a few professional woodworkers, one of my buddies let me borrow his fancy moisture meter to test them. As expected, they were all higher than what I would like to see. I brought them all inside and set them on a shelf in our living room, which is the only place in my house with AC, and let them dry out. It took a while, but they all dropped down to a workable dryness. Once the proper moisture content was achieved, I started to take them out in small batches to do a final flatenning, trim them to length, round over the edges, do a final sanding, restain and seal them with the urethane topcoat. Working in small batches meant that I could do all of those steps in one day for each batch, which meant that they didn't sit in the humidity long enough to present an issue. I have been working through them in chronological order, and the first group is just about ready to ship out. When they ship, you will receive an email from my website which will include your tracking information. If you have any questions about your specific order, please contact me through the website or simply reply to the order confirmation email that you got when you ordered.
Here's a few shots from the finishing room so you can have a look at the progress. That Walnut/Green Apple combo has me feeling some kinda way. I'm gonna be working through more batches this week, but the finishing process can take a while so please bear with me as we approach the finish line. Once the last batch is getting ready to ship, I will make a post about taking more orders. I am super excited to share the new options I have been dreaming up!

Some of you may recall that I had a little mixup on batch 1 and ended up making one of the wrist rests in the wrong size. I offered that one up for sale and it found a new home very quickly. I have a similar situation with an order from batch 2. I was waiting for the original customer to get back to me, and now I can offer that one up as well. This was not a size mix-up, but more of a blemish issue. I had completed this one and was about to ship it when I noticed that it was not completely flat. I do a final inspection on each piece and this one just didn't pass the test. It has a little wobble to it from one corner to the other but it would be perfect for someone that wants a show piece, uses a non-skid pad, or doesn't mind putting some of the included bump-ons on the back edge to stop it from wobbling. The size is 15 3/8", and its Ebonized Pine with Blue Denim resin. As this one is blemished, I will offer it at a discount for whoever wants it. The price will be $40 plus shipping. Have a look at the picture/video below and shoot me a message if you would like to make it yours.

I wish i saw this when GB opened. are there any extras?
Please see the above post regarding the 15 3/8" Ebonized Pine/Blue Denim wrist rest that is currently available. These were all made-to-order, so there are no extras. I will be taking more orders in small batches once these are complete, but it will not be a "group buy". There will be an announcement when my books are open again, and it should be quite soon.

The rests that have gotten their final coat will need to sit for a while (3-5 days) for the finish to cure completely, then I will be able to give them a final polish and ship them out. In the meantime, I will continue adding coats to the rest of them. There will inevitably be a few that need to stay with me a little while longer to work out blemishes, but we are closing in on the end. Looking forward to putting a bow on this project and opening the books for new orders!

Ebonized maple and denim resin 65% in the last photo, 3rd from the left? I ask cause I think that's mine and it looks gorgeous!
It might be! At this point all of the identifying marks have been removed from the blanks, but if you were order number 1093-1099, that may very well be yours.

Ahhh it's so hard to wait this last little bit since i've seen the almost finished product of my rest.
You won't have to wait much longer! I shipped out 10 of them earlier this week, covering orders up through order #1064. I have 20 more that have been polished and are in the process of being packaged for shipping. That brings us up through order #1083. The remaining 17 rests are either receiving their final coats of finish, or are curing so they can be polished. My website automatically sends you tracking information when I ship, but it may end up in your spam/promotional mailbox.
Sadly, I did have a few rests that did not pass my final quality test, and some that needed to go back into the finishing room for more work. I will be contacting you soon if your order was affected. That means there will likely be some discounted, blemished stock available soon, but it is dependent on the original customer wishes.
I just added over 100 photos of this batch to the shared album which you can find here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/3B8MwQCeAtttD1VP6 (https://photos.app.goo.gl/3B8MwQCeAtttD1VP6). Please note that all of my pictures are taken outside in full sun with a phone camera and are completely unedited, so the colors are a bit washed out. Additionally, the dye stain is translucent, so at some angles black looks more like gray, or simply reflects and appears clear. Also, I'm no Ansel Adams so that doesn't help, lol. I was hoping for a cloudy day, but its been full on sunshine here for several days, and I wanted to get these pics out. You can see them all in the album, but I'll add just a few here because doing all that copy/paste is kind of mind-numbing :confused:

I shipped out 20 more wrist rests today, up through order #1082. If you didn't receive an email with your tracking number, please check your junk/spam folder as they sometimes end up there. Otherwise you can send me an email reply to your original purchase confirmation email so I can check the status for you. The remaining 18 wrist rests are curing while they await polishing. Almost there!
I have one wrist rest that didn't make the cut on my final inspection. At some point during the finishing process, it warped a bit causing a minor wobble. The wobble is similar to the last one that I posted. You can see a video of that one here: https://photos.google.com/u/1/share/AF1QipMqZyaJl-dO8X1y_Nj61veqKTMBq5SYzy5tVHcfAU3LkM1XeGb54DKLyQcrg-A7UQ/photo/AF1QipPrUKGkcxOyqK25PZO9EQVGz5OpiqDXMOSPXQJ1?key=ZG9kaS1VbE9YZWpCR3JMeGJoOWNKand3X1doU1NB (https://photos.google.com/u/1/share/AF1QipMqZyaJl-dO8X1y_Nj61veqKTMBq5SYzy5tVHcfAU3LkM1XeGb54DKLyQcrg-A7UQ/photo/AF1QipPrUKGkcxOyqK25PZO9EQVGz5OpiqDXMOSPXQJ1?key=ZG9kaS1VbE9YZWpCR3JMeGJoOWNKand3X1doU1NB). This wobble can likely be compensated with a couple layers of masking tape in one corner, or by using the provided bump-ons along the rear edge alone to stop it from rocking. It also has a bit of a swirl pattern on the face that can be seen in the pics below.
This is a 60% rest (11.75") in Ebonized Pine, with Gold Rush. The discounted price is $40 plus shipping. Shoot me a message if you would like to make it yours.

Otherwise, shoot me an email with your order number and I will check on the status for you.

Once more I want to thank you all for making this project happen and being so patient along the way. I am far beyond my original delivery date, and everyone has been super chill about it. That is much appreciated on my end, and allowed me to take the time to make them to the best of my ability. It has been a ton of work, but I had a great time doing it. I've learned a lot along they way, and the work has inspired me with new ideas for future projects.
That being said, my books are now open again for new orders! I will make a post in the proper forum in a few days, but I wanted to give the folks following this thread a chance to get a chance before I make another thread. I am going to take orders for (up to) 20 wrist rests. In the future I may take larger orders, but right now is a very busy time for craft shows, and I want to make sure I don't spread myself too thin.
There are a few changes, and several new options available, so I'm going to break it down quickly below.
WOOD OPTIONS
I have a few new wood choices for the next batch. The first addition is American Black Cherry. This is one of my new favorites to burn, producing a tight pattern similar to the maple and walnut from the last batch. It has a lot of reds, pinks and salmon tones, which darken with age to a reddish hue. Here is a picture of a bottle opener that was made from Cherry, with a white resin inlay:

The second addition is Curly Maple. Curly Maple comes from the same tree as the hard maple from the original group buy, but its a section of timer that has abnormal grain growth, resulting in heavy, curly figuring. Basically, this stuff looks holographic when the light hits it. As a thank you for setting this group buy up (and a chance to prototype), I made JB1830 a curly maple wrist rest to match one of his boards. It just showed up at his door, so I'm sure he will chime in with a picture once he gets a chance. Meanwhile, here's a preview of an ebonized curly maple rest. I did a color gradient on this one, which will also be available for new orders. The second picture is curly maple with a natural finish.

The last change is that I am no longer going to offer pine as an option. Pine was intended to be an economical option, but it has turned out to require much more labor, and more product to produce. The result is a wrist rest that is just as expensive to make, but lacks the durability of a true hardwood. I also feel the burns come out much nicer with the hardwood options.
I may add more wood species in the future, but I need to do more testing before we cross that bridge.
CUSTOM LENGTHS
I will continue to offer the standard sizes, but you can now order any length you need (within reason of course). Just send me a note with your desired length along with your order.
RESIN COLORS AND BLENDS
Taste the rainbow. I'm leaving the original color options up, but the floor is open for any color you like. I am also offering color gradients/mixtures similar to what you see above. My website limits the number of variants I can have for each product, and I am already maxed out, so just shoot me an email (through the website) with your wood type, length, and resin color(s). Then I will write you a custom invoice for your order.
PRICE and BATCH QUANTITY
I made a post about this way back in May, so I'm just going to quote it quickly.
I think the biggest take-away from this project is that I would prefer to work in smaller batches. As much as I appreciate the financial stability of having lots of pending orders, accepting 100+ custom orders is a huge workload on top of the rest of the tasks involved with operating a small craft business. I am the only employee here, which means I also have to handle administrative duties, social media, booking shows, replenishing my stock and creating new products. These other aspects have suffered from my focus on the wrist rests. Additionally, I feel like constantly making the same thing has taken a toll on my creative output, which is the entire reason I quit working as a mechanic and started this journey. My current plan is to take up to 10 custom wrist rest orders each month, but include more options to allow deeper customization. I may increase this number during the winter, when business is slower (due to the lack of craft shows and post-holiday reduction in purchases). The second take-away is that I can't sustain the original group buy price. When I made the original wrist rest for JB1830, I didn't encounter any issues with warping or lose product due to blemishes and waste from milling. The amount of hours I have poured into the first few batches is over two times what I had estimated from the first build. I don't have a final price point yet, but I will determine that once I have all the factors nailed down.
For now, batch quantity is going to be based on my current workload. Right now, I can take up to 20 orders with a delivery date before New Years.
I have also locked down the pricing which is listed below. The original group buy price was based off of the time that I spent making the first wrist rest. After totaling up all the hours and costs for the group buy, that number was way off. Each of these rests takes between 3-4 hours to produce on average. I also neglected to consider the additional hours for sourcing the lumber, the cost of packing materials and the time involved with packaging/shipping the product, along with the wear on my tools in the shop. All of these factors have increased the price of the final product. Here is the breakdown:
Natural Maple, Walnut or Cherry: $100
Ebonized Maple: $110
Natural Curly Maple: $110
Ebonized Curly Maple: $120
Multi-color/Gradient: Add $10
The increase in pricing for ebonizing is due to the extra labor time involved with this process. Each piece needs to be sanded and dyed twice, along with additional time for color matching and touching up along the build. The black rests also require more polishing at the final stage.
The additional cost for color gradients is also due to increased labor time. The epoxy resin that I use to fill the burns has a limited pot-life before it starts to harden, and doing a blend takes additional time. This means I can only work on one rest at a time, instead of batching out several of the same color in one shot.
I have updated the product page on my website with all of the new options. Here's the link:

Hey Nimbus can you post another picture of the Black Cherry and the curly maple samples? They for some reason are not loading for me I'd love to see em though!
Here you go! If these don't work, use the link in my last post and look through the album or hop over to the product page. I added a few more to the album.

Looking at the Alice it would pose some new design challenges, but it's do-able. I would need to have the keyboard in my shop to create a wooden template with a tight fit, then use the template to cut out perfectly sized/shaped blanks.

I've given it several days and it looks like those who were waiting to order have made their moves, but I still have some open spaces left for custom orders in this next batch. I have created a new post in Artisan Services, but it is waiting approval. I have also posted the link to r/mechmarket on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/d85wfv/artisan_custom_captured_lightning_wrist_rests_by/ (https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/d85wfv/artisan_custom_captured_lightning_wrist_rests_by/). If you picked up one of my rests, and would like to leave your feedback in either of those threads, I would very much appreciate it.
Also, I still have one B-stock wrist rest remaining. This lil guy right here:
I have one wrist rest that didn't make the cut on my final inspection. At some point during the finishing process, it warped a bit causing a minor wobble. The wobble is similar to the last one that I posted. You can see a video of that one here: https://photos.google.com/u/1/share/AF1QipMqZyaJl-dO8X1y_Nj61veqKTMBq5SYzy5tVHcfAU3LkM1XeGb54DKLyQcrg-A7UQ/photo/AF1QipPrUKGkcxOyqK25PZO9EQVGz5OpiqDXMOSPXQJ1?key=ZG9kaS1VbE9YZWpCR3JMeGJoOWNKand3X1doU1NB (https://photos.google.com/u/1/share/AF1QipMqZyaJl-dO8X1y_Nj61veqKTMBq5SYzy5tVHcfAU3LkM1XeGb54DKLyQcrg-A7UQ/photo/AF1QipPrUKGkcxOyqK25PZO9EQVGz5OpiqDXMOSPXQJ1?key=ZG9kaS1VbE9YZWpCR3JMeGJoOWNKand3X1doU1NB). This wobble can likely be compensated with a couple layers of masking tape in one corner, or by using the provided bump-ons along the rear edge alone to stop it from rocking. It also has a bit of a swirl pattern on the face that can be seen in the pics below.
This is a 60% rest (11.75") in Ebonized Pine, with Gold Rush. The discounted price is $40 plus shipping.

I'll keep an eye on this thread, but I expect there won't be much more activity. I want to give one more HUGE thank you to the GeekHack Community, and everyone who has participated in this thread for giving me the opportunity to make these. Y'all are awesome folks.
