cedfire,
Both Keith and I have had deaths in our families and have had a hard time putting the attention required into the site.
However, Keith did finish a batch of REI Long cases in Clear Anodized (silver color), and he can handle mail orders by check or money order. The longs are the same price as before $21. Just tally up what you want, add $4 (or $5 for international) postage and send him a money order.
This is a bit of a longer process but one we can handle. The issue with the website is that Credit card orders MUST be handled in 3 days or they are canceled....this just is too much pressure for either of us right now.
The site should become functional in the new year. I am hoping to turn over my part to one of Keith's family members which will likely result in a much better and more timely response.
I promised Keith I would help him, and I feel good about what I have done, but the internet has expectations that are difficult for a part-time watcher and a skilled metal artist to keep up with.
I appreciate all the orders and support we have had over the past couple of years, and I hope we can continue with an even better system in the coming months. Keith Lunders is an amazingly skilled machinist and these cases deserve a place in our kits and hands.
