With the condition of some of the anodizing I've seen lately, I'm glad to see TGR still coming out on top

theillumedpanda · « **Reply #401 on:** Sun, 09 July 2017, 08:01:34 »

Looking forward to your builds. Fingers crossed that there'll be leftovers.

Blackhawk · « **Reply #402 on:** Tue, 18 July 2017, 13:10:52 »

Any update on when these will be shipping out?

yuktsi · « **Reply #403 on:** Wed, 19 July 2017, 10:08:45 »

Update!

Compare to my very first Jane group buy that I did back then, this is certainly not a very smooth run. Looking back at my Jane from the first group buy, tbh I'm quite happy with the progress in quality. Not perfect still, but it is much much closer to what I would expect from a good custom. I guess it is worth some of the sleepless nights and the "fights" with the manufacturers. I would like to thank you guys for being patient with me.

There are 40 sets of 910 made (not including VKC), 23 units for the GB here and 17 units of special edition for friends. Having unit no. CNC milled to all the parts did make the whole fabrication/color matching/sorting process much more complicated than I thought, this probably my last time doing so. Eight units from the group buy do have some issues. The manufacturer is not going to replace because these flaws seemed pretty common to them, in a way I do agree with them. I will update to the group buy list later, the affected ones are mostly gray/black parts. Reproduction/rework is in progress for these eight units. Being a collector myself, I am not comfortable with sending them out.

And oh yeah, the packaging. Knowing how fragile these aluminum boards can be, I often over pack them. 25mm of PE form for the top and bottom, at least 55mm for the sides. The sleeve is a courtesy from my friend. Considering this is her first time operating the sewing machine, I would say it is not too bad. Here's some photo to those of you who haven't received a board from me before.

Once again, thank you!

Update for the shipping. 10 units had been shipped for the last one week, the balance is going back latest by the end of next week. The invoice will be sent as soon as your board is packed.

For some reason, the weight of the parcel comes close to the Jane/Jane CE. Maybe it's because of the brass.

No doubt. Don't see how this isn't "Custom of the Year," period. This is such a stunning keyboard. I'm really looking forward to seeing people's builds start to pop up.

Tiny dents at the sharp edges. My guess is because of these are the standard colors, the workers didn't handle with extra cares.

Very late to finding out about the 910, jumping in to watch for any extras that may become available, or anyone who may be willing to part with theirs if they feel it doesn't feel right once they build.

Any update/consideration on extras or b-stock Yuktsi? I am not a collector, but rather want the 910 as my everyday workhorse, a blemish/small dent wouldn't bother me terribly. That being said, I understand if you don't want certain boards in the wild.
