The games with a checkmark were started today. I have more material coming Thursday, fingers crossed, so will start up the rest then.

I won’t be adding to this batch so anything ordered will have to wait on these being finished.

I have a set for TZ ready to ship if anyone is interested. Shoot me an email at taylorva72@gmail 65+shipping

Thanks.

My sleep schedule is crap so I’ve been waking up early and going to work in the shop. Because of that I’ve gotten a lot of work done on this last batch with just hand sanding left prior to finish. Should be getting some more material tomorrow so will work in the other rails on my list and look at next week to start with finishing.

hisokajp just hard to go wrong with his layouts. Was getting into the flow of the game last night and some of the shots are buttery. Rear ramps and Captain Marvel are a bitch, but like needing to nail a shot to make it.

Took the weekend off to finish up my raised bed garden. Will work on rails tomorrow.

Can you fit in a set of firepower and Addams family rails before you shut down for the summer?

#1274 2 years ago
Quoted from uncivil_engineer:

Yes I can. Started them today along with Wh20x2 and Flash Gordon. Was able to get them milled and drilled today.

Today was all about spraying finish. I was able to spray 4-5 coats on all black and red sets(not including the ones I started yesterday) as well as gold on TOTAN and some white on a set of Wh20. Looks like rain tomorrow so will get the rails getting clear reading to get sprayed on Saturday and Sunday.

Looking good. I’m excited for my Metallica rails, once I have them my shooter lane will be fixed and have much nicer parts than stock on my game

Quoted from OutlawTorn304:

Happy Mother’s Day!

Taylor can you make black versions of Haunted House?

Quoted from MT45:

I have not done Haunted House.

#1293 2 years ago

I am unfortunately having to close orders for the time being.
I have completely run out of usable stock and still have 3 sets of rails to make to fulfill all orders as of 5/16

THIS REALLY MEANS THAT I CANNOT TAKE NEW ORDERS!

I know this has been a crazy year and I was fortunate to get my material before the recent increase in lumber prices. When stock becomes available again I have no idea how much it is going to cost and how that cost will affect orders. I have always strived to keep my prices low and while I have had some changes to my pricing most of that reflects the size of the sets I've been making. My original pricing was for one set of TAF rails which could be made out of one piece of oak.With sets getting more complicated, I just never wanted to price people out of ordering so ate a lot of the cost, but I felt like my pricing has always been fair for the product I have delivered.

In the shop to be made I have FT, EATPM and Skateball and a backboard for Wh20.
Everything has been made and is in finish or curing.

Thanks for keeping me busy as fuck

I have sent out totals and tracking info to everyone with rails shipping out today.

Thanks again for a busy year. - Taylor

#1295 2 years ago

While I've never been a buyer (primarily because I've backed off buying machines that need work the last few years!), your prices always seemed super reasonable to me, especially compared to what you get for a lot of other things for the same money in this hobby. I'm sure the whole community will have your back if you have to up the prices to cover materials cost and pay yourself, man. I don't even know where else I would go to get NEW replacement rails. I've always figured that if I needed any, you were the first place I was going. =P

I’ve always strived to set my pricing so that rails were a no brainer for those doing restorations or swaps. I’ve had to bump it over the years as rail sets become more complicated, but I’ve done my best to keep pricing down as much as possible. Hopefully we see a leveling off or raising prices will have to happen, I’ll cross ther bridge when I get to it, but I was fortunate to get my current stock prior to the pricing surge we’ve seen in the last month.

#1297 2 years ago

Rails have all been dropped off at USPS.

Started the last few sets on my list and a couple backboards.

Pictured rails are FT, EATPM and Skateball. Backboards for Wh20 and High Speed.

Custom work, custom color?

Perfect fit?

Exceptional craftsmanship?

Fast turn around times?

The price of lumber is through the roof?

The value of the dollar is in the toilet, minimum wage is doubling.

Personally I think your prices are too low.

I would expect $99 plus shipping for most of the rails would be about right.

And this would be a bargain.

Aw thanks, I do appreciate your sentiment. It’s just not something I think of much outside of how to keep them affordable. I think as a person that has restored games myself I know how much everything adds up so trying to keep cost down on my end has always been a part of my business model.

#1300 2 years ago

Was able to get 5 sets and 2 backboards ready for finish today. Will start the finishing process tomorrow.

This last batch includes:
2x SG
Skateball
FT
