For those interested in the Deus shaft project...

I wanted to offer an update, to announce that production of the shafts is expected to begin in 2 weeks.

All of the parts orders have either finished production, or nearly so. Some parts shipments have been received, and the rest are shipping over the course of the next week, per my suppliers. I expect all parts to arrive by roughly Dec. 10, and then will begin the first production run of 32 shafts immediately thereafter. I expect to begin shipping shafts by roughly Dec. 16.

At this point, all 32 shafts have been reserved by customers. As soon as the parts arrive, and have been inspected, I'll be ordering the next batch of parts, for the next production run. Expect the second batch of shafts to be ready to ship by roughly late January.

Thank you all for all of your patience. This has been a long/complex project, but I think the wait will be worth it, as I am very pleased with how everything has come together. This should prove to be a top-notch shaft, that will improve upon the stock shaft immensely.

I will be contacting each customer on my wait list, as soon as parts arrive, for final confirmation of interest, and invoicing. Thanks to all of you who have offered suggestions/advice along the way, and to my excellent field testers, and to all of my customers. The end to the long wait is now in sight...

Thanks!

Sounds great Steve. Looking forward to seeing the production model. Been a labor of love for sure.

Thanks Gary! It has indeed!
