Hey didn't you get a preorder for the HM? Does anyone want to exchange #'s? The one I have doesn't mean the same anymore. How about it #6 or #10?

I have all the 16 series expect the handmade (just couldn't justify the money).

The day I was married. Just doesn't mean the same now that my divorce is right around the corner.

Hey everyone,

I wasn't on the forum when the Handmade was sold (or the black so missed both, shame I'll also miss the yellow since it's likely for collectors of the other two only) and I'm curious about it.

Why is it called the handmade? I heard it was more expensive than the others (considerably) because the finish (or lack of finish...) was different. Just for curiousity sake, what is the story behind the Handmade? Also what is the color of the sleeve? Thank you, and congrats to everyone who was able to get one. At least if I'm able to save my pennies I can still get the titanium :P

The handmade is just that. Handmade by Chris himself. The level of craftsmanship on the handmade is going to be amazing! Just wish we could get an update on these as well. Dropped a lot of pesos on the handmade and they were supposed to be ready by Christmas.

As Manifestjp said, the handmade is named as such because Chris is going to make each of them himself on his manual machine instead of being made on an industrial computer controlled thing.

The finish will be the same as the Revomaze One (pictured below). The sleeve will be unanodised and the core will be left as brass... as far as I know. It'll be a solve once or twice then display job for most people.

Yeh, the original idea was to get the puzzle out by this December but due to a whole host of things it's been delayed. Chris' main focus at the moment is the gold, then the close and judging of the orange competition. I wouldn't like to say which would come first in terms of manufacture out of the handmade and orange. I guess time will tell.
