Thank you to all who have ordered 2020's so far. I'm very humbled by the support of my great customers. A total of 110 are actually being produced. The first run is 100, but there was a test run of 10 to start off with. Those first 10 sold right away. Of the 100, 40 sold so far, which happened mostly in the past few days. I'm writing now to share some news about how it may be a long time before I can make more than the initial quantity. This is due to the impact of COVID-19 on suppliers of the raw materials I need. Many of my suppliers are focusing on producing for the medical industry exclusively. At this time I can't say when I'll be able to make more than the first run. As for the first run, I might be able to meet the deadline, but that is still unclear. I had the power turned off in the lab to save on the energy bill. The landlord agreed to no rent during this crisis. My wife is a doctor, so she continues to work on the front lines during the week, while I stay home caring for our 2yr-old son. Due to all of this, I'm not able to get in to finish the 100 2020's at the moment. There's really only 8 hours of labor remaining for completing the run. In the coming days I will consider what can or should be done. I thank you for your patience, understanding, and amazing support. We're all hoping this ends soon so we can get back to our former lives, which I'm sure everyone now values a little more.
P.S. I spoke with the landlord about running a long extension cable from another part of the building to run the transformer winding machine for a few hours so I could finish the run. It would need to be done during daylight hours on a warm weekend when my wife has off of work. I told him I would like to do this if I sell all 100 by the release date. He agreed.
