I was invited to join via a facebook message. My name is Mike and I am from Michigan. I have 5 days left to fund my first Kickstarter and it is currently at 62%. I run a small sign shop out my home and came up with the idea for my wine bottle balancers after seeing nothing but plain boring rectangle balancers online. I currently have about 10 different styles that balance any popular 750ml wine bottle or even a Jameson bottle. I have a wine bottle shape, lighthouse, guitar, fish, peacock feather, support ribbon, surfboard, air plane propeller, ar-15, and even a cat! If my project gets funded I will be able to upgrade my small CNC machine and be able to produce these awesome balancers out of hard red oak. It will also open up the opportunity to create many different projects out of almost any material besides steel. I have been reviewed on http://www.kickstarter.reviews, ran a couple facebook ads, and promoted via instagram and twitter. My goal is relatively low so I hope I am still able to reach it with only 5 days remaining. Let me know what you think

Hey knotty, I'm in Michigan too - I'll take a look at your project, and you can scope out mine!

Hey!
This is weird, I have seen these before in Australia but that was a looooonnng time ago. I think they are a great idea.

I will make a pledge towards your project......you have such a small budget, can't some of your family & friends also help out?

Check us out too? We have a much larger budget

i can't speak for the wine accessory guy but as someone doing business in Michigan, it is very inexpensive to live and work here.

It's a nice item...the Wine bottle holders. From a very personal point of view, having one shaped like an automatic rifle is not good. I'm not a gun hater...I've hunted myself in the very distant past. But it's too controversial for people who are wine enthusiasts. They are here to see your project. They don't want to feel like your pushing some kind of message.

Also... Your page has too little information. People want to know who you are and what you do. On my own recently listed kickstarter project I have a picture of myself cycling PLUS a picture of some of the projects I've worked on in the past. It lets people feel like they're talking too a real person.

Thanks for all the input everyone! I added a less expensive pledge and it looks like I may reach my goal today! I understand that I may not please everyone by posting an ar15 shaped balancer but it shows what I am capable of. This is my first project and I have learned quite a bit in the past month about kickstarter that will help me with future projects.
