I'm hoping these guys succeed. We can still build things in the English speaking world. We just have to remember how.
Hopefully we get a review of this and it's good! I may just buy one on principle anyway.

They picked a very pretty subject to start with. I wish them good luck!

The CAD rendering sure looks good. It's an awkward process walking into the world of manufacturing, and the molds and other necessary tools are a whole different world that most people aren't familiar with. I think I'm good giving a new company extra time and grace to allow them to get things as right as possible. It will be good to see quality offerings manufactured stateside again.

I hope that these people succeed, its a brae move to go compete in an already fairly saturated market against eastern "cheap labour" manufacturers.
They have a very nice subject and they should take theri time developing it. A hastily produced kit that gets hammered in reviews for poor fit or errors could kill this start-up.

Now, this is a surprise and a pleasant one at that, especially being a Swede...
