Don't tempt me... This one is already costing me a fortune...

If you ever make those IN-28 and IV-29 base pieces I'll get those from you, how about that?

I will NOT be auctioning it! And with all the parts, tools, and labor $5K would be cheap!

Use a Meanwell power supply, don't cheap out with that other one. Buy a nice SP-100-12, they are cheap enough and won't kill your precious chessboard.

^ I'm confused...

It may get close to ~$1200 if I get a router, which I should, resistance is futile... My poor wallet...

I have my own rolls of kester so I'm good. That lead-free stuff you're supplying will be given away or thrown out. Lead is the (not so) secret ingredient that makes electronics work properly.

I'm down to $110.40 for all the brass hardware excluding the miscellaneous brass screws/nuts/washers for various odds and ends in the base.

Wouldn't this be a better deal? - http://www.ebay.com/itm/25-M4-Old-Style-Brass-Thumb-Nuts-/290357873555?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item439aad8b93 I should only need the 10 extra brass thumbnuts and 10 extra brass bolts, so if you're including them I should be set as the rest of the hardware inc...

The parts I'm looking at for building the base box I've been designing have already broken $300 WITHOUT THE WOOD ... Solid brass prices are insane... That and I'm looking at the best quality shit... But, it will look awesome if my wallet allows me to buy the parts. It will have a top cover that cont...

Kester 44 63/37 for PCB work. 60/40 for soldering wires together.

Just get a "Fluke 87-V", they're awesome.

As for power supplies get a "Mean Well SP-100-12". Then you could use it as a benchtop power supply when you're not powering the chessboard.

Have you thought of using the board terminal thumbnuts on your power supply output? - I could include a couple of extras for it. Nothing is finalized yet, so go ahead and throw the extra brass thumbnuts in. Brass thumbnuts on the brass power supply terminals would be a nice touch. My brass terminal...
