From what I can see from the project pics, this looks like its going to be another great design Rob. Good luck getting the project off the ground, and a good idea not providing to much detail on the project. You are right about the current amount of other people ripping off good ideas in the community lately.

Rob, I really hope you get this project funded, I would try hitting every Star Wars blog and fansite I could find, I know its still far off, but it would be super cool to see you make the Jedi Holocron and I would buy one for sure!

Thanks Matt, I've been hitting up friends who post on those blogs and sites to do just as you suggested... but I can always use more help. Feel free to arm your friends with the link and share away. It always carries more weight when coming from someone other than the guy who makes them. Cheers, Rob

So how does it work from here Rob? Sorry you didnt meet the goal, you make beautiful pieces of art that serve a functional purpose, to me this was a very worthwhile project I am sorry I couldn't do more, but I have my own project (that is doing awful lol) to worry about also. Please put me on your email list because I would love to see this still happen and as I said would absolutely buy one!

Matt, I will be posting any updates via Twitter and my website. I don't keep any email list. As soon as the Rockethub check arrives I will start ordering parts. I'm revising the design to use less expensive lazer cut acryllic rather than aluminum to keep the cost down. I hope to be able to build a few at a time over the next year.
