This is the Akimbo

[papadirk]

This is for the gofundme people who donated $300 or more. The RE comercial version will be a while yet and it's still too soon to take orders or fix on a retail price.

This is great news and as @John_KAYS said above, "you go above and beyond!" Just curious about the $100 gofundmes. The $300 funds were already gone when I hit the link.

 

[JMerritt]

The $100 were promised credit and a discount on the eventual commercial release. I still plan on honoring that. When the release will be is up to RE and lots of variables. Probably spring 2017.

 

[Tree-Taylor]

Probably spring 2017.

 

[TheTreeMD]

Spring of 17. That means the RR2 will be sooner... Christmas maybe.

First batch of parts! Lots of work still to do prepping these for plating and I'm still waiting on more parts

 

[JustinK]

Outstanding. Keeping the price affordable with cheap child sweatshop labor!

 

[JMerritt]

Of course! Early training is critical

 

[monkeylove]

And they work for peanuts

 

[chiselbit]

Ha! Now that was funny.

 

[JeffGu]

Of course, they'll play with the empty box for an hour before they even take a glance at the contents...

I was thinking, he needs a sign that says "Will work for Gerber strained carrots".

I thought I was the only one that was willing to do that!

What did the Akimbo ever do to you?

 

[Merle Nelson]

I'm still amazed and appreciative that there are people willing to put in so much time, heart, and soul over such a long period to bring high quality tools to the table. It gives us all choices.

Thanks for your efforts Jamie. And my hat is off to all the other courageous people doing similarly for us.

I love seeing progress in this. I also have a love of seeing a big ole stack of machined parts looking all beautiful. I ALSO like seeing business happening on the same floor with the next generation. This is great.

Can like everyone that has an Akimbo bring it with them to the Expo!!!? I will be there Friday and Saturday and would love to see one in person. @yoyoman I saw that you have one! This is not a demand...but it comes very close to being something that is very much like a demand. No problem if it is too much to ask for, but it would be kind of cool to see one. Thanks.
