Clear Sleeves

[nos6074]

If Neil ever decided to make more and offer them for sale again I would buy 6.

Just putting that out there in the case he is wondering if there is enough potential market to make another run of them.

If the price is reasonable I would be up for one or more myself.. seems like a good idea for a display..

Yes, I would definitely buy them if Neil makes more batches. Especially with Lime open now it would be a joy to see the mechanisms operate while solving it. Helps quite a bit with the Ti too. Still haven't gotten over my initial hesitation over buying the sleeves.

I didnt get into this series till this last summer so I never had a shot at getting them.. but looking at some of the pictures of them I wish I had... Im at 9 revos now with all of them solved but no real way to display the cores without either taking out the small bits or leaving the core's in the sleeves.. and they are a conversation piece when people come over

Wow. Quite a lot of interest, and I made over 50 of these initially. Let me set some expectations though. I will not be making more of these. (Don'e mean to sound harsh here). I'm pleased that the sleeves I made were well received, and that there is a demand for more of them, maybe someone else will consider making them.

I have a lot of work on my plate over the next 4 months getting ready for a particular puzzling event later this year, along with a number of other woodworking projects which mean that I don't have the time to make more sleeves.

If there were to be an option to make more at some point, then as I've mentioned previously I believe the cost would be nearly double that of what I asked previously. They are very labor intensive, and I'll be honest, not much fun to make. (At least not when you're making 50 of them!)

I like how there is only a limited number. It preserves the value of them.

[y2khappens]

I would be interested also.
Is there another company
that could make these ???

[Goldstar]

Neil...seems like there is a market for these even at double the asking price...we all hope you get the time and motivation to have another go!

I contacted the juggler and with his blessing I'm going to contact Chris for his blessing in order to try and commission some clear sleeves through a local Acrylic manufacturer. So I will get back to you guys if I get a blessing from Chris and find a company that is willing to take an order.. Keeping in mind that the credit for the original concept of a clear sleeve goes to Neil..

Great!

I am in for at least 5.

Edit:I mean since orders are being taken

[nos6074]

ok let me clarify.. I'm not taking orders.. I have no idea if it is even feasible or what the price per unit would be IF I get the blessing from Chris.. However I will say that if I can find a place to make them I will let you guys know if it's reasonable.. Overall this is Neil's creation and Chris's baby so I take no credit other than trying to see if a company is willing to take on the challenge
