Kickstarter & Similar Projects, by .dappy on Jul 2, 2016 10:44:15 GMT 1, Every so often, I see a project that I think is interesting, helpful, charitable, I would like, or a combination of all four.
This thread is for those type of projects. I don't necessarily mean charitable (art) auctions, art events etc, as they can have their own Threads, but hopefully you get what I mean.
There will always be a caveat emptor, especially with kickstarter and the like. I have been 'burned' on one of their projects, but have been successful and delighted with a number of others.

Kickstarter & Similar Projects, by .dappy on Jul 2, 2016 10:48:33 GMT 1, To start with: here is a kickstarter project for the creation of a die and to purchase a hand made set of scissors - a choice of two designs.(the designs are beautiful by themselves)
The family firm was first established in the 1800's, by the great great grandfather Walter Wright before becoming a Ltd company in 1902: Ernest Wright & Son Ltd. Based in Sheffield - the home of quality steel making.
The cost of a pair of scissors is ยฃ50.00 and they do some mugs and t-shirts that are nice and a bit cheaper if you just wish to support the project
Who doesn't need a handmade, stainless steel, lifetime guarentee set of scissors? Their story is interesting and I liked it

I adore things like this.
It would be great if everybody kept this up to date. Annatomix did an awesome Kickstarter a while back.
I've just ordered a set of those scissors. Thanks Dap.

Supercade - A Visual History of the Videogame Age 1985-2001
We are all of a certain age where video games were a part of growing up ...
... this book provides the history and description of those games that you played, and some that you did not:
/description
... there are ONLY 8 days left to support this project ... with a range of prices for either softback or hardback edition ... plus some great add-ons ...
... nearly all of the stretch goals have been met ... so full colour, foil printing, varnish, fold out sleeves etc will provide a great book ...
... the project is just c$3k away from its last stretch goal of $100k ... which will enable a limited edition double volume Commerative Edition to be produced ... this CE will also include the original (out of print) volume which covered the years 1971-1984 ...
