Hi all, I launched a kickstarter campaign today and the GH moderators have graciously allowed me to post a plug here.  As many of you know I have worked in injection molding most of my career and now it is time to try design and launch a molding-centric product of my own, so here it goes.  This "upgrades" me to being a vendor on GH but to be clear this is my individual project so I'm still not speaking on behalf of SP here on GH.

Feedback welcome.   Thanks in advance for any and all support.


update on 6-28: Thanks to everyone on GH offering me suggestions on my kickstarter project this week; I've updated my project with a few of your pointers.  Please take a look a give me a plug on facebook or Twitter if you find the product interesting.

Ben

Cool product.  Trying to pledge from my tablet...

Ron, thanks for catching the typo.  I'll have a stern meeting with my writing and editing staff.

Thanks for the interest driven from geekhack on my project.  I am looking for feedback on the overall concept and design execution as well as plugs on social media if you are so inclined.
Thanks,

Hi guys, I now have a tumblr for this kickstarter campaign. 

http://benscombostand.tumblr.com/

Thanks again to those from GH who have supported my kickstarter.  If this is a tablet accessory you would use please support my campaign.  If you like the design or concept but aren’t in the market yourself a link on your social media site of choice would be highly appreciated. 

Thanks, Ben

Thanks SeriouSSpots, I'm 1 week into my campaign and it's a bit anemic.  Still working on some promotional stuff to try get a wider audience.  We'll see...
