Lubestone
The Lubestone is our first lube station. It is made
from Corian, and plays nicely with our standard size Workmat
or as an accompaniment to our new Minimat. If you aren’t
familiar with Corian, it is a solid surface countertop
material that mimics stone in its weight and feel. The
Lubestone will be dishwasher safe and durable for the
foreseeable future.
If you aren’t familiar with our Workmat products,
feel free to check them out on our website. They are hand
cast from silicone rubber and are an excellent accessory for
the keyboard building and other hobbies.
So. The
Lubestone is made from half inch thick Corian material. This
material is laser cut and polished to a glossy finish. The
American Haptics logo is a pigmented epoxy inlay.
Production
Each Lubestone will be laser cut in our
manufacturing facility and hand polished. The beauty of
laser cutting is we have quite a bit of flexibility with the
layout of the lube station. We can have multiple layouts for
multiply workflows and preferences without changing the cost
or manufacturing set up. A large part of this Interest Check
is to gather enough variations in layout. Yet another
variation possible is the color of the Corian. Corian comes
in a galaxy of color schemes and treatments. However, we are
limited to styles that do not have the very large mineral
chunks. When the laser beam hits these stone chips, the beam
refracts crazily within the corian material and makes a
void, visible on the cut edge of the Lubestone. While some
of this is likely unavoidable and acceptable, I believe it
should be minimized for quality assurance and
consistency.
Layouts
The current layout will be
called standard. The interest check form will have a way for
you to submit a layout. A handful of layouts will be chosen
and become the launch styles available in the website
Colorway
To
start, we will offer 2 Colors that cover basically a “light”
and “dark” colorway. Corian is a little expensive, and for
ever color that we add, we will need to pre sell about 20
Lubestones to cover the cost of investing in an entire sheet
of Corian and having it cut to laserable sizes. The two
available colors will be
Deep Anthracite
Sparkling Granita
The Sparkling Granita color is what our current
prototype is made from. Gallery Below

We can concievably begin
production as soon as about 40 units are presold.
Production, finishing, and packaging are basically already
figured out. At the very latest, we want to begin fulfilling
by Dec 1st in hopes of getting people their Lubestones by
the holiday season. Presale will go live in our store
probably in about 2 weeks. The Google form will collect your
email address, and you should get a purchase link within 2
weeks via email campaign.
