Would like to order a pair when available!  Please keep us posted when they do. Thanks!

I'll be selling to those who have bought a poker plate first since I'll be shipping them something anyways. Then I'll open it up to anyone else who hasn't ordered a plate. I can always order more tools ^___^

After going through many ghetto tools, I would absolutely love a pair of yours. These are great, and I really hope a group buy goes through.

Hope, what?  He's ordering a fat stack and selling them outright.  GB not required ;)  If they sell out we just scream at him to make more.

If there was a way to keep it in place, you could probably use a spring from a clothes pin

He could throw them in a kiddie pool filled with mud and make us all wrestle for them, I don't care. I just want one.

I ordered 70 sets, they should be done around the 15th and I'll pick them up during Thanksgiving. But I still have to sand them and bend them and I don't know how long that is going to take. Plus I have poker plates to pack and other stuff I want to do during Thanksgiving break

Pretty much. I'm not sure how fast I'll be able to sand+bend these + ship plates since I have a case study due the 27th, a research project due Dec. 3rd and speech/mini lesson on Dec 13th. Hopefully I can pack most of the plates during thanksgiving but I'm not sure what I'll do with the switch top removers :(

I want to get all my poker plates out but it's hard since I have projects due and finals to study for. However I am limiting the number people can buy so there are some for the people who didn't order a plate

True, but I also will have the same amount of browns that are already on a board to do the same with.  But anyways, I'm just screaming.

I'm surprised you haven't tried to get them a purple color by either paint, powder coat or anodization.

You can't anodize stainless steel since anodizing is basically an accelerated rusting process for aluminum

For what? They serve their purpose and don't get displayed like keycaps would.

It's more me messing with beastmode because he likes purple.

But to answer your question, I would care, because purple would make the clean up confusing.

You don't have to fill the form anymore. I ordered ~70 sets and an limiting how many poker plate people can buy so hopefully I can sell them to everyone else who didn't order a plate from me


Hey Beast, Where did you get your switch stand switcher? Aren't they like $20 some where?

No, that's just the plate the switches were getting mounted into. sherryton sells a lube station but I just mod the switches once they're already installed on the plate
