Well done! Looking forward to seeing what people do with your kits!

[Jubal]

How much will a kit cost?

How much will a kit cost?

Less than a leg a bit more than an arm!

ok that wasn't very helpful

I'm working through costings, but because the single largest charge is the laser cutting time and i buy that by the hour, until i get the kits and the bill i wont have accurate costs. Sorry - but i am finding it as frustrating as you guys.

I had calculated a retail price of £14 per tower. But the good news is that we seem to have got more kits through the laser than expected so that price should come down a little. Don't hold me to these numbers though if something changes massively.

I WILL announce all the costs and such like and have proper pages o my website by the weekend and they will be on ebay. I have also committed to discounts for the members of this group, which will amount to around 10% as that will circumvent ebay charges.

Yay 

That's a perfectly reasonable order of magnitude. I have a pringle tube ready and waiting

Chicken Tikka Masala is our national dish.

[Brandlin]

Well, we did own india

[Gethuch]

We gave it back though. Eventually.

We owned a lot of France as well, glad to see it wasn't frogs legs or snails we adopted, lol! Actually, Chicken Tikka Masalla isn't an Indian dish at all, it was invented in London. Chap I knew did a survey of all the Indian takeaway's and restaurant's in Lincoln, he found out that of around 15-odd, only 1 was run by or employed Indians, the others were Pakistani, Bangladeshi or someone else.

ok, I have updated the progress chart at the start of this thread, and It's also available on my blog now.
