I have one left. Though... I do hope Cody is monitoring what is being said here on HBS, because I would like to give him the opportunity to have one if he wants one. I've also been thinking of going for another set of top stages. I've found a friend that has access to multiple CNC's at his work.
I've tried to contact Cody through PM about the last stage, but that was weeks ago. I'd say, if you want the stage, give it a week for Cody to respond to this message and if he doesn't, you can place your name on it. If he responds later, I'll make him a "one-off".
Sound good?

Thank you Wade
I appreciate, I can see you had your hand full. Could you tell me the price first. I'm in South Africa, how did you handle shipping?

Oh goodness, how time flies when the boss works you to death. I'm here, sorry I haven't checked back. What kind of price are we looking at Wade?

Allrighty all...
Cody was the lucky benefactor....May he see years of splendid oscar winning shots with that stage!
However, there have been a few recent inquiries about the stages, which make me think that tackling a second batch may be in the works. Even after almost cutting my thumb off while making the last batch, I'm thinking of going another round!
A few things have to happen first, though:
1) All six people must be committed to either a tilting stage or a regular stage (note: because the regular stage was designed by Cody, a donation will be made to him to help support his books & artwork)
2) I have to secure a place to machine certain parts, either a previously used client, or a local place which may be cheaper.
3) Down payment ($100 up front) will be collected. The rest due before delivery.
James S. are you in?
How about you Brett N.?

Hi Stephen. Glad you drop by. You should also drop Wade an e-mail at the same time so he can check this post. He's been busy lately.

Holy smokes, it's been a while since I posted on this site. Alot has happened since I posted last. A Feature, a short, a pilot and a much more in between. And with all that in the can, I sure wish I was more successful at it.
Anyhow, if anyone wants to venture into the diagrams of the stage or what not, I will be back for a while....

Let us know if you come across those diagrams. I have some of the other parts started, just need the info on those side plates. |

Hey guys,
Yes the price is still the same. I just moved, so finding my paperwork is a daunting task. I may just tear one apart and have one of my engineers reverse engineer it to get the specs. Ill try and stop by soon.

Keep us posted. If you don't have the time or can't hook up with your guy, maybe I could rent it off you for a week? My buddies have a machine shop and could reverse engineer it for you and get you a new set of blue prints. I could probably have it back to you in less than a week, since I have Cody's book which has most of the dimensions already. |

I think I might take my stage in to the shop and have it duplicated. I will get back to you with a cost if you are still interested.
