Our sincerest apologies for the continued delay, we know it stinks.
IN OTHER NEWS...
Here's how the video was shot, right there in my backyard.

I don't give a damn about how long it takes. I love the process. I love the updates. I love being in at the beginning of a new product.
Great stuff, Charles. And glad to hear you pronouncing your surname right.

Yipes!
See how I am? I never thought of that. [sheepish grin]

Cheers!

@Ryan There's still some problems with the legs (not wide enough, too long, and not curvy enough) so delayed another week to get it just right

What was said? I'm deaf. Please either caption your videos or provide a transcript. Thanks.

I hope the next product is called the Trebuchet, if the end of the Slingshot video is any indication. =>
Creator Doug Montgomery on May 30, 2012
Oh how I agree with perfection. I do however have a slight dilemma, I need my Slingshot to do my project the first weekend in August. http://t.co/mnHwhdIA What are the chances of getting one of the prototypes if necessary?

Again, Kudos for making the hard decision
Anything worth doing, is worth doing right!

That's ok! I'd rather it be late and right, then on time and crappy!
