Finally received mine! Whoever warned against USPS to Canada wasn't joking

Thanks! I've added your name to the first post.

The screen has been washed, rinsing away the soft areas of emulsion. this leaves bare mesh in the shape of our stencil:



Now, the screen must be left to dry overnight!

Thanks! You've been added to the first post.

I do have a handful of extra paper wallets, so I'll include one with each shirt until I run out.

Only 9 more shirts until the discount!

14 shirts sold already! At this rate, I'll be owing you all some money soon

Quick update for those of you who may be curious about the process involved in silkscreening fabric.

It all starts with a design in Illustrator:



The design is then printed onto clear film, with special high-opacity black ink:



The film is taped to a screen that has been coated with red photosensitive emulsion. The emulsion is thick, like glue, and dries in the polyester mesh of the screen.



The screen is then exposed to a bank of lights, in order to harden the emulsion. Any areas of emulsion where the light is blocked by the stencil will not harden, and can be washed away later with water.



After 20 minutes, I will be able to remove the film, and rinse the soft emulsion away with water. The screen then dries overnight before the next step.

lived in South Korea for a while. you will never, EVER find one of these coins in South Korea -- at least not in a coin shop.

Clear as crystal! I've updated the original post.

well, if we could get 12 in a day without using the words "friedcat" or "asicminer" in the thread title...

Nope, it's not closed! We just have enough orders that I can start prepping the press. I'll still be taking orders for the next 9 days or so.

If you'd like to wait and see if we can reach 24 shirts, just let me know and I'll wait to print your order until after the 19th.

That's a dozen!

Next steps:
I will start preparing the screens for the press. If you've placed an order, please PM me your mailing address, exactly as it should appear on the package.

Once the screens are prepared, I will start printing and mailing shirts. I expect the first batch to be mailed out on Wednesday.

I'll keep the press set up for this job until NEXT Wednesday, June 19. If we reach 24 shirts by that time, everyone will be refunded the BTC equivalent of $5 for every shirt ordered.

Great! First post updated.

Two more shirts to go!!

Added!

2/3 of the way there... who's next?

Added to first post!

Depends on demand. If this one goes well, who knows!

Thanks! First post updated.

5/12! Almost halfway!

Great! I've added you to the original post.

To sweeten the pot, the first 12 shirts ordered will come with a free silkscreened paper wallet:



I've had these guys sitting around for a while and can't find a good home for them.

These paper wallets feature a 4-color hand-silkscreened print on heavy 250gsm 100% cotton art paper. Just print out QR codes onto some sticker paper and apply

Cool! I've updated the original post with the total cost for Canadian and Int'l orders. Neat site

Good question! Each additional shirt adds $2 to the shipping cost.

So two shirts int'l is: (15x2)+8+2 = $40

It's a "euro fit", which is a lot nicer than the square, boxy shirts from cheaper brands.

For reference, I'm 6'2, 220# (188cm, 100kg) and I wear an XL.

Great! First post updated. We're already 17% there

Who's next?
