LE Minas Will Ship This Week!

Hi Pen Fans!

The LE Minas are just about finished!  We have some final touches to add today, and then we will ship this week!

We have more then 200 pens to ship, so this is not a task that we’ll complete in only a day.  So if you have a LE Mina on the way, please allow flexibility.  You’ll get tracking information sometime this week.  If we can’t get everything shipped by Friday, I’ll let everyone know.

I will be putting some updates on our Instagram account, and also probably do some Periscoping of the final touches and shipping process.  If you want to check this out, our username on both accounts is @edisonpenco.  We’ll also put some photos and perhaps video here on the blog as we move along.

I would like to sincerely thank everyone for your patience!  In the initial blog post, I estimated that this project would take 2 – 4 months.  The way that we usually do our time estimates is to under-promise and over-deliver.  However, we took just about exactly 4 months to finish this project.  So we still made our delivery estimates, but I really prefer to be way ahead of our estimates.

Bottom line – this project took us a longer than we would have liked due to the Holidays.  Our Holiday rush really caught us off guard this year.  We’ve learned an important lesson here – we won’t coordinate this project to coincide with the Holidays in the future!

So stay tuned for more updates as we begin shipping and keep an eye on your email for tracking information!

Thanks!

2016 LA Pen Show! Here’s Our Inventory!

Hi Pen Fans!

We’ll be on our way to the LA Pen Show shortly!

If you can make the show, take a look at the video below to see what pens we will be bringing.  (if you can’t see the video below, click here).

If you can’t make the show and you like a pen in the video, you can reach out to me to inquire.

Once we get back from LA, we’ll photograph the pens that need photographed and put them into our Current Inventory Gallery.

While we are gone, I won’t be doing emails.  Our employees Jake and Wendy will be holding down the fort while we are gone, however.  So you might get an email response from one of them.  But any issues that need my direct attention can’t be fielded until Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

Hope to see you in LA!

LE Mina Update #4 – The Home Stretch!

Hi Pen Fans!

The LE Mina Project is moving towards completion!

We have all pens off the lathe.  I will estimate that 70% are sanded and polished.  30% still need sanded and polished.  Then we engrave the caps, tune nibs, and ship!

We are packing up for the LA Pen Show tomorrow, but our employees, Jake and Wendy will be working on these while we are in LA.

So barring something unforeseen, we’ll be shipping middle/late February after we get re-grouped after the LA Show!

Stay tuned!
