Re: Altoids Tin Springbar Kits- Join the Waiting List

5/6 kits of the current batch went out today, one more hopefully tomorrow. That will be all I can fulfill until more springbars arrive.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this project through feedback, encouragement and purchase of a kit. I can’t wait for these to be in your hands.

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2021

??????? On Ebay there's this Certina watch--listed as "new with tags"--but by design looks old as the hills. (Disclaimer: I am not an expert on the history of Certina watches.) Unlike other Certinas, this watch does not have "Swiss Made" on the dial face. It does have an indecip...

Re: Pay it Forward

That Edifice is pretty cool, but I am guessing 44-46mm?

Re: Altoids Tin Springbar Kits- Join the Waiting List

Slight hiccup on the kits. I was seeing some minor spring bar migration happening when the ranger. And was on and the tin was violently shaken. This did not meet the Sporkboy Quality Standard, so I investigated. The small cutouts on the top allowed just enough clearance for a rogue springbar to hop...

Re: Altoids Tin Springbar Kits- Join the Waiting List

Just a quick update. I didn’t get to packing this weekend, but I have 6 packages that can be sent out once they are all buttoned up. I ordered springbars, so once those arrive I will be able to clear the waiting list! If you have something that is being packed then I will have contacted you for your...

[mention]CDR_E[/mention] you are on the list. Thank you everyone for your interest. I will place an order knowing I won’t be stuck with several lifetime supplies of springbars.

That is a thought. I could likely do a 3 sided frame for each bin for a future version. I will have to play with this idea. Thank you.

Re: Altoids Tin Springbar Kits- Join the Waiting List

Thank you for tour comments [mention]Split-Time[/mention]. I still haven’t been able to crack the nut on labeling, but it is something that I have thought about a lot. I could try printing numbers on that vertical surface, but those don’t usually work well because of overhang issues. I could pretty ...
