Yet another discussion that got out of hand quickly.... LOL.
The MBI MatchBook, is a weekend project I posted on my website (click on the link to read that post).
I'll add some photos if/when I have a moment here directly but as this is gaining some fast traction, I thought it best to dedicate a thread to it, so we can all best keep track of progress.
I moved some relevant posts (especially the I want one posts) from the "Thing" thread to this thread.
Here's my original post from the "Thing" thread.
Will add some photos but you can see some if you click the link below.
Whilst on the subject of "things".....
In my spare time (a few seconds every other day ) I have been working on as much as I can, at least things within my direct control.
One of those, was eventually bringing the MBI MatchBook to life.
There were some slight details that needed research to solve (My proto's used black markers for coloring which is not ultra-durable, magnets at the base needed securing, the matches cost ~$4each) and like most things, a spontaneous thought in the middle of the night (partly triggered by my working on "things") and I saw the light. I went ahead and ordered all the ingredients and found a way to make it all work (and look just the way I want) even without having to commit to a massive quantity.
I have enough inbound to make a handfull (or two) of sets (based on 8 matches a book).
That's all due in the next 7 days and I'll be very happy to post photos as soon as they are ready.
