== Brasstown Pens ==


'''Jeffrey Bruckwicki:''' No, I don't. I've got an old, I'm using a Brasstown. That's not even our final version because we changed it from the one that I'm using. I guess the chimney tops I have are about the final ones.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It starts to unravel already.

'''Jeffrey Bruckwicki:''' Mm-hmm. So, yeah, we, no, we've, we'll have some more coming soon. So, but yeah, I don't have a lot of, you and I have the same amount of actual prototypes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, it's just the new one that no one else has seen. That's what I carry every day. Yeah. Because nobody else can see it or have it in their hands right now. So, it's the only way that I'm able to use one of our cases. Yep.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay. So, gentlemen, is there anything else that you would like to add? I mean, I want to make sure that people hear this before the project is over. So, Jeff, I mean, have you got anything you want to add to the listeners, to the backers? Because I'm sure a lot of our listeners will actually be backers of the project.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I just want to thank everyone for their support thus far. I mean, it's been great the response that we have gotten, especially on Twitter and everybody like dealing with my Pog stuff and stupidity.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And then just, you know, a lot of people have sent really kind words about what's to come in the future and them still supporting us. And we really don't want to let anybody down with what we're going to do coming up. And I don't know. I guess it's just one big thanks. And I also wanted to ask, do you write down your Squarespace ad scripts?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay. So, this is an inside thing. I have a script that is set. Got it. It is a set script. But that's the same script every week, which I do not read. I will use it for talking points and refer to it. But more often than not, I mean, I know that script so well. I actually know the features. Well, I know the features of Squarespace so well now that I can just talk to you about it. And every ad is, I try and make every ad different.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Right. So, what you're saying is you're a real pro.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, you know.

'''Myke Hurley:''' He is a pro.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Come on. Of course I'm a pro.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Come on in, Dowdy. What have you got? What do you want to say?

'''Jeffrey Bruckwicki:''' I echo a lot of Jeff's sentiments. The support we have received has been, I guess, mind-blowing. Life-changing. It could be. This community that we're all a part of, if you're listening to this podcast or reading the Pen Addict blog has been one of the most important things in my life just from, you know, meeting people and meeting like-minded people and just the support that everyone's given has been amazing. So, I just wanted to thank everyone. And I really wanted to thank Jeff, too, because without him, you know, I wouldn't be doing this. I can promise you that. I couldn't imagine just having a better partner and doing this. And it's, we're just scratching the surface, I'm pretty sure. It's the way I feel right now with all the support we've gotten and with the plans that we have. I think the best is yet to come. And that's no exaggeration.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, obviously, as I assumed from you two lovely gentlemen, that you are very, you are very, very kind and nice to the people. Of course, you are. And you're very humble. So, I'm going to step in now and say, listen up, you lot. You only have a few hours left to get involved in this. If for any insane reason you have not backed this project, then you need to do it now. You need to buck your ideas up, pull your socks up, and go to knockco.com. You'll find the links to the Kickstarter there. Go and back the project that these fine gentlemen are doing, because not only will it give you that warm, fuzzy feeling inside, you will receive a beautifully crafted, handmade product at the end to keep your lovely pens safe and secure. And if you are one of the amazing people that have already backed the project, find a way to give these guys more money. Just do it. You know, it's not hard. Just go back to the Kickstarter page and, you know, just maybe bump up a bit. And if you're at the top, then okay, you're okay. Maybe set up another Kickstarter account and do another one.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, gentlemen, is that the good place for people to go? Knockco.com. N-O-C-K-C-O.com. That's where they can find the links to everything they're going to need, right?

'''Jeffrey Bruckwicki:''' Yep. All the links are there. Links to the Kickstarter are there. Make sure if you are a Kickstarter backer or even not, or even just interested in the company, follow our Instagram feed, because Jeff puts a lot of the production photos on there as things are, you know, progressing along. So that's been a fun feed to watch. And I try to share out some of those images as often as I can, so people can actually see their cases being made. So that's pretty cool. So, yeah, that's the best place to go. You can get all the information about Knockco.

'''Myke Hurley:''' There's going to be a lot more coming up soon, because I think next week is the day that I have decided to just start working eight hours a day on cases.

'''Jeffrey Bruckwicki:''' Wow. Yep. So you'll see lots of action here coming up as soon as this project ends.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Follow that Instagram. Get all those great pictures. Yeah, I think that's good. I mean, also as well, people, I've made sure the links to this stuff are in the show notes, which again are at 5x5.tv slash penaddict slash 78. If you want to catch up with Brad, then please do so by going to penaddict.com, or he is at Dowdyism, D-O-W-D-Y-I-S-M. Jeffrey, do you use Twitter enough that you would like people to contact you personally, or should they just go through the Knockco Twitter?

'''Myke Hurley:''' If it's during regular business hours, I will be manning the Knockco handle, which is nothing but fun.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's all pogs and fun times.

'''Myke Hurley:''' All pogs and fun times, and trying to get you to play rock, paper, scissors through pictures. Yes, one day, one day.

'''Jeffrey Bruckwicki:''' We do like to keep it fun.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes. Is that all, gentlemen?

'''Jeffrey Bruckwicki:''' I think so, and I think we want to thank you, Myke, because you've been a huge supporter. I mean, I know you and I are friends, and we've known each other for quite a while, but you don't have to do the things that you do, and I appreciate all the support that you've given us, and that is noticed, and we really appreciate it.
