[member=3513]PaulMarcel[/member], good to hear from you friend.

Yes, we still intend to start taking orders for Shaper on our website this coming week. I will post here when that happens and try to tag those who were interested.

Thanks!
Shane

All,

We now have Shaper Origin, Workstation (pre-order) and related accessories available for order on our website.

There are two offers available with respect to the new Workstation. If you purchase just the Workstation, you will get a free Shaper SYS 1 Systainer. If you purchase the Workstation with the Origin, you save $50 instantly. The two offers cannot be combined.

Thanks in advance to those who have waited to order from us. Very much appreciated!

$90 value for free

No.

As of it being a giveaway the framing it as a discount is intentionally misleading and as of that (at least in sane jurisdictions) a banned form of advertising. No clue about the US, but stuff like this has a good chance to end in (lost) litigation when performed in the EU - as marketing overdid it with thinking it being a good idea to slightly overprice a toothpick* as an automatically added giveaway so they can claim to discount you more than the GDP of a first world nation* only if you buy now, quick hard enough that even the lawyers that write our laws were appalled enough to put a stop to it.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with them throwing in that thing as a gift - my issue is with the way they do it.

*) the item and the amount are irrelevant and exaggeration was used to illustrate this particular scam.

“Scam” is a bit harsh here mate. There is nothing shady about the guys at Shaper. I met them 2 years ago and they are a great company with a great product. They clearly outline what they are doing and what you get. If you think getting a free item valued at x is a scam, I guess you are just that type.

By the way, I have some waterfront property for you... I just need to get it from my friend. He is an African prince.

Cheers. Bryan.

Anyone considering the Workstation, here's a great video.

thanks, finally saw enough regarding a feature I wanted to place my order. You would think the emails from  Shaper would have had  a link to more detailed videos like this. The ones I could find were just fluff.

Heads up, folks. Shaper has sent us a notification that they have sold out of their initial inventory of the Workstation. Orders placed now will not ship until September.

Nice to see such a well designed and engineered device.

I'll take the fall for you and all the guys on the forum. I don't mind being the bad guy. Feel free to give your SO my email address. [tongue]

woo hoo, got my order in on time. [big grin]

More video for those still deciding...

Reminder that tomorrow is the deadline to order from us and get the free Systainer if you are an existing Origin owner.

How much longer does the $50 off for the workstation when purchased with the Origin offer last? Or is it the standard now.

[member=652]JimH2[/member] it looks like it's a standard discount for now to save $50 when you buy the Origin + Workstation. No word from Shaper on an end date.

The free Systainer for current Origin owners preordering the Workstation ends TODAY.

Thanks,
Shane

Great video from Sam.  The fixture flexibility is really a unique approach.

Has anyone received theirs yet?

 

[nclemmons]

[member=37411]ear3[/member]  - I have my workstation - arrived in June with the first batch.  It's a really great accessory!

I received mine already (awhile ago, but uncertain the exact date). Eager to build an adjustable fence so I can use it with the Domino as well. I built the Michael Fortune Magic Table ages ago in a workshop, but school issues prevented us from getting the legs mortised (like, wtf...  [blink]) so I built a jig to mortise those legs. This workstation has better clamping possibilities so this is going to be my solution.
