Kickstarter complete! (1,600 wooden states later)
After three months' blood, sweat and tears, 1,600 wooden states have been shipped across the USA.
Support from the Kickstarter campaign was incredible, and it sure does feel nice to be done! I have never made sixteen hundred of anything until now, and let me tell you, it was a LOT of work. But hard work pays off, and looking back the entire process has been very energizing.
I'm thankful for this season in my life, and the blessings it has brought. I'm thankful for the 933 backers who have supported and encouraged me these past few weeks. And I'm especially thankful for the help I received from my Dad (who spent 4 days in the shop sanding) and my Grandpa (who literally folded up all all of the boxes). My parents basement is probably not best suited to being a distribution warehouse, so I'll be looking for a bigger workshop soon.
Now it's time to carry this momentum through the holiday season and into the new year. And whats even more exciting -- I'm getting married on Dec 12!
Cheers!
