Nice lookin design,When will the mani be produced and for sale? lookin forward to seeing those.I spent a good bit of time working on a solution for making one affordable myself. Sounds like you are more into it for the design r&d than consuming your time mass producing them. In America welders are either skilled and too busy to do a project like this,or learning and not good enough to do it. no in between really,leaves no margin to make the project profitable. The nynja guys proved my point with manufacturing in china,where the welders do one thing all day long for a very low price point....weld....they just did it too late,after the pfp was released. Being first to market with the NBT is key.IF they had done that pre pfp when every tom dick and harry hunted tnts here and pwc yesterday they would have sold 5x.
I know you are anti over seas production for your own reasons. But If you spent more time with R&D and less time producing same pipe... made a new pipe every yr a little bit diff and REALLY a lil bit better,and made them sound semi scarce like xh20ers would be lucky to get one. then out sourced to overseas welders and mass produced for VERY affordable retail price,with still better margins than self producing them. youd sell them like hot cakes every yr to the same people that buy a new latest and greatest RRP or Krash hull model every yr. We all know where both those are made,and made well. Its so funny how the illusion of the fact of scarceness to a buyer that may not get one for very long time....works very well for sales in this arena... l
