Feb 1, 2016 Update:
I received an update from Russ that said the brass plates should be showing up next week and then they just need to be engraved. A big priority order had taken precedence in his shop recently and that pushed everything off for the time frame.
Russ also mentioned that he ordered a total of 60 plates, so there is still room for some more people.
When I hear some more, I'll be updating again.

Russ is ordering the brass sheet to be cut for the run tomorrow. We're still on course!

Hey all,
I just received an e-mail from Russ about the faceplate run. He said that the "turn around time would be 3-4 weeks" and "the only way I could do this run would be next month."
With that in mind, what I'd like to do now is a final confirmation that:
A) You are still interested in the faceplate run
B) If so, please confirm if you can make the payment in this time frame so we can get finally this run done.
I would handle the payments to keep the list up to date and organized, while Russ will handle the shipping of the plates once completed.
As long as we keep around the same number on the list, the payments would still be $75 shipped.
What I am going to do is send out a PM to everyone who is on the list with this same info, just to be sure they are contacted and don't miss the update. Please read it, then respond in the thread or via PM.
Thanks!

Well, as you guys can tell, things are moving a little slower than anticipated. I spoke with Russ at the beginning of July to add some plates to the list and arrange payment details, and he said that he was waiting to hear when the brass would turn up. I haven't heard another update back from him yet.
I know it's been a very, very long wait, but I promise I'll update everyone just as soon as I hear back from Russ myself!
****************************************
May 19, 2015
Okay all, here's the update we've been waiting for!
Things have finally aligned and Russ says he will be begin cutting and preparing the plates starting next week. Once they are finished and ready to go, I will be updating and contacting everyone again with payment info. If you want to be added onto the list now, please let me know ASAP and we'll squeeze you on.
Thanks everyone for your patience!

Provided nobody drops out, we have now reached 30 plates, so that should mean we're at the $75 price break. I'll update Russ again and see what's next.
****************************************
January 9, 2015
Here is the status of things:
We have confirmed interest on 18 plates (for now). We still need 12 more plates ordered to reach that optimal price break.
On Monday, I sent out PMs to 16 of the 17 remaining members who had expressed interest but had not yet contacted me since the update on December 15th. Of those members, I've had replies from four of them (three of them saying they needed to withdraw and one saying they were still in).
Of the remaining:
Five members haven't been online or active on the RPF for numerous months, including the one member I couldn't PM because they have messaging disabled. They account for 6-8 plates.
Five members haven't been online or active within the last 1-3 weeks, so they won't have received my reminder PM. Five plates.
Three of them are online right now or have been within the last day, so they should have received and read it, but have not yet replied. Three plates.
I know the delay has caused some complications, but if you know any of the members who are on the list but not confirmed, see if you can reach out to them elsewhere. In addition, spread the word and see if we can get some more Warehouse 13 fans in here who would be interested in a build!
*****************************************
December 15, 2014 - Okay everyone, it's time for a big update!
Russ ran the numbers and the cost of production (including the prices on brass and engraving) has gone up a little since the last run. For this run, we have the following price breaks:
If over 30 plates are ordered, Russ can have them done for $75 per plate.
If we only have 20 plates ordered, the price jumps up to $100 per plate.
These prices will include shipping.
Right now, if everyone who expressed interest commits for the numbers they said, we would have a possible total of 43 plates ordered. As with any run, we should expect some change to that, but I think we'll want to try to stay above that 30 plate number to keep the lower price break.
The next step will be to confirm who is still in on the run at the listed price and we can get these going. If you're still in, please let me know and we'll start getting people locked in. If you're not on the list yet, but still want on, feel free to jump on now as well!

Original post and list:
Hey all,
In response to some questions I received about my Farnsworth, I asked Russrep if he had plans to do another run of brass faceplates. Russ said that he could do one if there's enough interest and suggested that I start an sign up thread.
The run would be similar to the one from a couple of years ago. The faceplates will be in brass with the correct engravings and proper cutouts/holes for parts. They'll be sized and proportioned to fit the correct fly boxes as well.
If you're looking for a good start on info regarding the Farnsworths, start here:

With this being the final season of W13, it might be a good time for another run. If you're interested, please post in the thread and we'll get a list going. If this progresses, I'm sure Russ will provide details on an approximate time frame and price and I'll update things. However, I would expect a slow burn on things as it might take a while for this to gain momentum.
Thanks!
