Please advise as to payment method, If you use paypal I will need a paypal address to sent payment. Please also give me a total for payment.
Can't wait to try them out and report back

Sal,
I plan to use PayPal only and will only ship to the address linked to your PayPal account, that way I can process the payment, postage and labels all at once thru PayPal. I want to do it this way to keep control of who is sending $$, that way I have a fighting chance of not receiving $$ from anyone who was not on that original list.
If you send me your email address I will process the PayPal invoice ASAP. You can post your email address here, PM me or email me at ripdogs@live.com (I set up this account to keep this separate from the rest of my email).
A "set" is made up of 2 rip dogs (w/pins), 2 guide dogs (no pins), & 2 rip clips w/thumb screws/t-nuts.

The total cost ended up slightly higher that I first hoped, a set is $100 + postage/packaging. I purchased padded envelopes and labels for shipping, $5 will cover those costs + USPS first class mail. I will have to confirm postage overseas, it looks like that will be $10 total but I still need to verify it with the post office.
Also - early on I learned that the pin dogs needed to be anchored to the MFT to prevent them from wobbling, the other dogs are fine with just a friction fit. All the dogs are tapped for a M8-1.25 thread so you can just use the knobs from the Festool clamping elements. I ordered a couple dozen M8 thumb screws and over-sized washers that will work if someone does not already have a set of the knobs. If anyone needs 2 thumb screws/washers I can add them in for another $8, just let me know to add them to the invoice.

Fair Warning For Anyone Ordering:
These dogs are sized to fit what I believe to be the current, "standard" MFT hole that is specified as being 20mm. They fit my MFT perfectly, I purchased it about a year ago, per my (cheap, Chinese) calipers the holes measure between 19.98mm and 20.02mm. The dogs were specified when ordered as 19.9mm +/- 0.025mm, per my calipers they measure between 19.91mm and 19.95mm. If you have not measured your MFT holes you may wish to before ordering, if there is an issue and anyone has to return them I will refund the purchase price less postage.
I am traveling next week but will process all requests I receive payment for by this Sunday (3/18) and have them in the mail on Monday (3/19). After that I won't be able to get back to anyone or process any requests for one week+.
I did my best to gather up all the requests both from posts to the thread and PM sent to me, if I have missed anyone I apologize in advance. I will give everyone on the list 7 -10 days to respond and then if there are any unclaimed sets I will update the thread with the availability.
Lastly, my appreciation to everyone who posted or sent comments/suggestions to me. I learned a great deal from the process and hope to use it to turn some of the other ideas I have been playing with into reality. The Incra parallel guides are next on my list but after using them for a while I think the design can be improved upon and I need a little time to test another design.
Thanks again,
RMW
