Looking for artist for Ice Cold Beer bezel repro project

[darinjacobs]

Spent 2 hours with this printer. Brought in 4 people on the production team. They can do it.

Nobody really wants to take this on willingly. Lots of arm twisting. Nine colors screened on a large piece of glass with half tones is going to have a lot of waste, raising the price considerably.

They would like some time to work up pricing and get back to me. So we wait. Again.

At least that's progress, good to hear! ICB is a game I've yet to come across.

Good news even with the wait is always better than no.

Edit: no point, ignore.

I'm still in......

 

[JamBurglar]

You tha man Darin!

 

[Admiral688]

Yes... Props for your recreation efforts!

 

[energeticalz]

What they all said. Thanks for your efforts Darin!

my ICB is waiting. waiting.

Got some pricing. It's still more than what I want to spend and would have to price the glass over $300, which is something I didn't want to do. It would also require me to do a run larger than what I planned. The size of the glass and the complexity is driving up the costs.

Let me think about this over the weekend and see how I can make it work.

The glass on this one is large, and as someone who has shipped a bunch of these, that's no fun. If it is perfect (as I expect it would be coming from you) and someone wanted to restore an ICB, then I think in the $300 neighborhood would be OK. Probably wouldn't hurt to do a deposit approach and pre-sale #'s to see how many orders you'd get.

Hoping you do this...I see a lot of really nice ICB machines in the future...

I'd be in for one around that price too.

 

[Alpha1]

I would pay $300 Darin

 

[philmurr]

I'd be happy to pay $300 for one too

 

[VectorCollector]

Put my name on the list too. I'm sure this, like the Tempest CT glass, will be a ONE-OF / LIMITED-EDITION production of the glass and I'd like my ICB to have one - even if it kills my wallet ...

 

[Moses2112]

Darin, I'd be in at the $300 range.

 

[energeticalz]

I'm still in too!

 

[oppolo]

I'm still in Darin.

Getting closer to releasing some solid information. Today was a good day.

 

[darinjacobs]

Ran into a problem. The glass is 24x36, which means I need to use a 275lb. test double-walled 30x6x40 box. Not only is this going to be VERY expensive to ship in the USA, but I can't find one country to ship this box to because it's so big.
