the box

john_green_embrace_box_spinning
today i'm looking to order the first batch of my boxes in preperation for the first batch of embraces arriving. Here you can see the prototypes that I made for 100%. As seen as though each box cost me a small fortune and I spent god knows how much time exposing and aligning screens I thought they were more than worthy of a quick blog.

proper bender



As promised....A video of the homemade jig for bending the wallstore prototypes in action.

Oh and a bit of advise, don't buy tesco value drills, they are tosh!

end of an era

it's been a long time in the making and there's been many different jigs some that have only lasted for one pressing but some that were just pure work horses. And today was the sad day that the powers that be made me throw them away :( as seen as though embrace is being professionally manufactured now I don't think we will be needing these, but I didn't want all that hard work to go un-noted.


cheers johnny for pulling the trolley

I'M NOT STANDING STILL

Hey guys, I know it's been a while since the last post but don't worry! I'm not standing still (hense me moving in the picture above :). It's just been hectic since the show, and I've had to have my business head on for a few weeks while I secure the finance and get embrace into professional production. The interest has been worldwide, so for all of you not in the UK I hope to have it stocked in retailers near you soon.

Thank you to those guys who have already placed orders, and I just want to let you all know that embrace is in good hands now and is being manufactured in the UK to highest standards. I'm hoping to recieve the first batch mid november, and I will be shipping them out immediately after that.

I also want to thank all the everyone who has taken the time to blog me and especially the big guys NotCot and Swiss-miss who are directing 100's of hits to my website every week! I'll try and include every blog i've seen but sorry if your's is not included I just havn't seen it.

I also want to thank all the guys who have featured me in the press I will be updating my site with a PRESS page as soon as I have done all the scanning to show you guys all the glossy print i've been in.
