in short: you have no association between the accounts here and the google docs. ^^

I don't see it though.

Here's why.

Fake looks at the NICK in the SS, sends the PM request for PayPal Money thru the Maemo PM system. He fills paid orders working from PayPal. When they are filled, he checks them off on the SS.

If you don't Pay, you don't receive.

I believe it was a form method that build a SS from the form. I've never used their tools, but it works perfectly for our group buys. You just filled out the form.

For a "GEEK" forum, the current method is kinda embarrassing!

2. if i had to carry the stand around with me, can i just deassemble it and then reassemble it whenever needed, like you have shown in the youtube video ?

1. I will do a "break test" in the comparison video that I am making tonight. You can see for yourself. They're not fragile!

2. You can do that, but over time the stand will not fit as tightly. The acrylic one will scratch up in your pocket, but so will the wood one...

Someone earlier asked about black acrylic. Let me think about that for the next run. Right now I am trying to build a custom air filter so I can get all these acrylic orders done. Wish me luck!

Also, as to the spreadsheet/sales method:

Everyone who reserved a stand in this thread will get a PM when they are ready. I expect that it will only be a day from now.

I think I am going to use Shopify+PayPal so people can use credit cards or Paypal. Then everything is handled in a secure and very professional way. I may ask you to enter your handle just to be sure.

I will also list some on eBay, but not until orders from this forum are all fulfilled.

I'm just taking reservations right now and working my *** off to get these things made ASAP -- I will handle the sales as professionally as possible. :)

Ah, if you will have a payment option other than Paypal I would like two black wooden ones (I'm in the USA). I was holding off solely due to that fact!

Hi Fake,

May I change my order from 1 wooden stand to :

1 black wooden and 1 acrylic stands please :)

Shipping to the Netherlands.

Just a little question, sorry to bother you, but was wondering
I have a hard plastic case on my N900 would this still fit or not ??

Is it possible to try this cause I know a lot of people have this kind of cases and it would be hard to take them off every time we would want to use your beautiful stand.

As dmj726's mother and also owner of an n900, he may want to add to his order if it doesn't include one for me! Especially since he called me while asleep in the wee hours of the morning all excited about it...:)

I don't have an N900 or a Nokia tablet anymore, however... I must say great job and I love seeing people take initiative like that within communities and "niche" products. :)

Put me down for 2x wooden stands please. I hope they stay together in the post to Australia :/

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
Thanks all.

I spent almost the whole day building a charcoal filter system for my laser, so I can meet the demand for acrylic stands. I'm going to try it out in a few hours, after I laser a few dozen sheets of wooden stands. Just for fun, here's my totally made-from-junk laser exhaust filter:

Now, I am going to spend the whole night lasering. Wish me luck!

Will you ship to Sweden Fake? In that case i would like one regular wooden stand :)

atm i'm using the display on my Logitech G15 keyboard but if i can get this awsome stand for just 10 bucks i'm happy :P

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
can i get 1 acrylic, not 2.. thanks fake

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
Really interesting! I wish I could buy 1 but I've bought so many accessories for this phone and I can't even afford this... wish you could come with this idea 2 weeks ago!

Props to you fake! You could make tons of money on ebay and you should start up a website if you don't want to deal with ebay! Everytime someone types Nokia N900 stand, they'll directly go on your website!

Good luck and again, awesome idea here!

Hey fake, been debating. And will finally give in. Can you put me down for three acrylic ones?

Yes, definitely. But I have terrible problems at the moment. The laser tube in my laser stopped working a moment ago, and now images are not loading from my website in the original post!

I have enough wood stands to cover everybody, but I definitely need a working laser to get the acrylic ones done.

:( :( :(

Epilog support has been good in the past. Hopefully they'll come through again. I am going to get some sleep and approach all these problems a few hours from now.

Oh good, the web problems are just scheduled maintenance at dreamhost. My laser problems, however, are definitely not scheduled!

What device are you using to do this? I've never seen any thing like this.

Very impressed!

Speaking of, any chance of posting the patterns for community collaboration? I can't personally make use of them, but I'd imagine there are those who could. Given the response, though, I don't blame you if you'd rather just make some money from selling them solely your self. Also, sorry if this was already brought up in the ~8 pages I didn't read that were posted since I first saw this thread. ;)
