Re: Piecepacks from Blue Panther?

["palindromic_man" <barry.reber@...>]

Hi all (this is my first or second post),

when I saw this thread I had a crazy idea: use something like
fundable.org to get enough pledges/pre-orders for piecepacks to buy
your own laser-etch machine, which you could then use to make you
piecepacks with..

I haven't done any comparison shopping but here's an etcher for $1299:

I should just do it, but have neither the time nor the inclination at
the moment; everyone else is probably in the same situation.

My wife and I made 10 piecepacks to give to family at christmas, and
laser-etched pieces would have been way cooler than poorly painted
(but still pretty cool) ones.
