Little Bit More upate
Hi All
I have started a new project https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/363092515/gr5-titanium-little-pinch-more-multi-tool-keyring?ref=creator_nav like I mentioned that fortunately Kick starter with their good heart and understanding excepted after explaining my position that's needed to compete this project.
What this has allowed, also because the CNC and EDM machining workshop owner operators with out asking them have offered unlimited credit and time to pay them the money to manufacture the Little Pinch More project and to re-CNC the philps screw driver on the Little Bit Mores.
This also allows me to make spare stock of several of the tiatnium ideas and to travel back to Australia and sell with live demonstrations at weekend arts and craft markets and later at trade shows to secure income and possible back on the tools part time in my trade as a boiler maker coded welder during working week days.
Because I have now established industrial relations in China I can trust with QC work who will send samples mailed to Australia, as well as I will travel to and from China on a regular basis for final inspections.
Backers that want to trade in the Little Bit More and upgrade to the Little Pinch More are welcomed with a price adjustment, if so please send to my Little Bit More messages so we can work out the cost adjustment.
I will resell the trade in Little Bit Mores along side my other titanium designs in Australia to recoup loses
Thanks for the support and feed back to start the Little Pinch More project so I can for full the underfunded Little Bit More project completion.
Best regards
Dens

Dens,
You need to take responsibility for your own actions. You claim to have used your own money, which is how it should be because it's YOUR project. But you also abused our money and then attacked other users, including releasing their private social media information, when questioned.
Ive been quiet, Ive been supportive, but I will never back one of your projects again.

And do you have any idea when that will be?

Chuck and Andy
After the completion to your reward I spent your money on, plus my unpaid time and added personal money to subsidize your reward further, I will then resell it and give you a refund after sold.

Hi Scott
Thank you very much for explaining events, yes my English spelling is really bad and difficult to express what is actually involved to invent, design, develop and manufacture from scratch and then market on a underfunded budget.
I have 2200 Little Bit Mores almost completed, I can sell at a retail price value of $66,000 USD or $88,500 AUD.
To post rewards I need to pay a further $6000, plus my wife's and I unpaid time to post backers rewards..
I am honest and could legally walk away from an underfunded project and not worry about the further loss of $6000 posting fees and final finishing costs or my wife and my unpaid time.
For being honest I lose $50,000 AUD by not selling at retail price and having to post and to honor backers rewards at well below retail price.
My trade is a boiler maker coded welder while in Australia that I can show my pay slips on fly in fly out work that is $5000 gross each week with upmarket accommodation and food supplied as an example what is my time worth that I sacrifice for this project
Thanks for your time to explain on my behalf .

Hi Benjamin
Of course you will be getting your reward as I have mentioned many times I am subsidizing from my own finances to complete this project as well give my unpaid time for you.
Ice, Myark, Casper and Denis Stewart 8-time creator on December 8
Hi Jawn
You have backed one only of my projects for the $15 USD reward and sorry to hear you are so poor and have to worry about such a small amount of money and to try and discredit my unpaid hard work and finances I have subsidized to make your underfunded reward.

I cannot trust you with my money for any new project until I take delivery of the first purchase. This is unacceptable.
Benjamin Morrell on December 8
So what is happening about the original item the little bit more that I backed u on and paid for. Will I still be getting it? Or r u going to send me something else? I want something or my money back at least. Thanks

@Creator, Sorry for misspelling your name, Denis, as "Dennis" in my previous comment. I should have been more careful. However, in my defence you spelled it "Dens" at the end of the update ;-)
Scott Allen on December 8
@brenton stenning, Unfortunately Dennis has a very poor ability to compose and express himself using proper English sentence composition, spelling and grammar, so what he writes can often be confusing. I believe what he is trying to say is that he still intends to ship you your rewards (eventually). He has enough Little Bit Mores partially completed to fulfil the numbers pledged for in this campaign. By taking advantage of the credit offered to him by the manufacturers, and some of the profits from the new "Little Pinch More" campaign, he hopes to complete all of the Little Bit Mores. Only the completed Little Bit Mores that are LEFT OVER, due to people upgrading to Little Pinch Mores, will be sold by himself "with live demonstrations at weekend arts and craft markets", in order to help recover some of the losses experienced with the Little Bit More campaign. Dennis FULLY INTENDS to still send you all items you pledged for, when he is able to complete them, but you may have to wait a while for this to happen.

I'm been happy to support the project hence why I backed , and listen to updates and understand the process all, but not happy for product to be sold else where ?
Randy Kiessig on December 8
I would also like to upgrade, when you have a chance can you send me the info?
brenton stenning on December 8
So I'm wrong in saying the money raised in kickstarter has been used, in any way, to make the little bit more ? Aren't you saying that 2/3 of the products you made are funded by the kickstarter campaign ?
Ice, Myark, Casper and Denis Stewart 8-time creator on December 8
Brenton
I used my personal money and unpaid time to subsidize your underfunded reward that is 2/3 below retail price so It beats me where you get the idea of spending money when its actually my personal money and the EDM and CNC machine shops money to make stock so we can sell on the market and further fund your underfunded rewards completion .
You have not an idea how kick starter works as its not a shop and is meant to be supportive morally and not some one who thinks he is a loan shark making a noise over peanuts.
Maynard you will get refund no worries when your reward is completed and sold.
Maynard Morris on December 8
Hello, Can I just have my money back Please.
brenton stenning on December 8
I never mentioned another project , you said you would make stock and sell in Australia ? That's not right when we are still waiting for our reward . I understand how kickstarter works , we invest capital into your project to get it up and running in return for a discounted price or reward ?? Explaining it with costs and the extras you put in , is redundant , you chose the reward price ?? What we expect in return is a completed product and not story of how you will sell the product at markets .
Ice, Myark, Casper and Denis Stewart 8-time creator on December 8
Hi David
I will contact you shortly in messages and give the exact cost information you need to exchange the Little Bit More for the Little Pinch More if desired.
This way I can keep track of your reward situation in messages at posting time.
I have many wanting to upgrade but are swamped with request right now and have some updates I need to do first.
Generally the trade in cost is what you paid for the Little Bit More pus I will give a 10% discount on the cost of the Little Pinch More because later I can resell your Little Bit More, for a little bit more value.
Thanks for the ongoing support

I am afraid you are the one that's not clear, as I have not used your money for another project at all, in fact I have used my personal money to subside your reward and my unpaid time.
You have paid $60 USD for the 5 little Bit Mores reward that each one has a free titanium Key ring which the retail value with out Key rings is actually $30 USD each X 5 = $150 USD + 5 titanium key rings.
With out the titanium Key ring cost you have actually paid $10 USD each little Bit More or 2/3 less than the retail value.
With the Little Pinch More project I have the EDM and CNC owner operators offering me credit to manufacture that project which that money I owe them is to pay for the completion and posting of your 5 Little Bit More and 5 titanium key ring rewards.
brenton stenning on December 8
this update is not clear at all, what do the backers get. I pledged $80AUD, what do I see for this amount???
brenton stenning on December 8
this is bullshit, you cant use the money we paid, for a finish product, to make the product and sell it for your own personal gain at markets what a scam, what do i even get out of my backer pledge??
David Greenberg on December 8
Hi Dens I would like to trade up to a Little Pinch More. Let me know how much.... and how to upgrade Backer number 295 regards David

Tim
You have backed one only of my projects for the $15 USD reward and I have explained very clearly in this update I will honor the underfunded Little Bit More rewards at my lose.
$15 does not buy my soul or a dog you can verbally abuse, $15 UD buys a Little Bit More at 50% below retail price in exchange for moral support of this project
