The Latest News

Hopefully y'all haven't gone away and forgotten about me...I'm working hard to get things going again! :) This is kind of like last August if you some of you remember that period. I had a lot of stuff in process but nothing finished for several weeks. But then I was able to keep sales going with some regularity for awhile.

Upcoming tools include:

The Mini BrewDrivers will be done later this week. No doubt I will have several sales with various finishes. See pic below.

I'm working on the Candy Bar tool which I think I may rename the Wroach. It's a 3.5" Mini Bug Out Bar kind of thing with several wrench openings, o2 tank wrench as the lanyard hole and o ring grips. Approximately 3-4 weeks away on those. They are titanium.

And I have another design finalized yesterday called the Flea and that one is a pendant type tool but it has O2 tank wrench, 1/4 hex, bottle opener and pry tip. Kind of a radically redesigned Chigger, similarly sized, and those will be in thick steel to start. There are three variations of that design. 4-5 weeks away on those.

SAE WingNuts are also in process, 2 weeks away on those.

Green BrewDrivers

So, here's some anodized BrewDrivers. I have some green ones done right now and there are a handful of rainbow available as well for which you can either email me or put in the shopping cart comments that you want rainbow. Anodized BrewDrivers are $70 plus shipping.

All gone, thank you folks!

Plain BrewDrivers

I hope everyone is having a nice relaxing weekend!

I have a few of the plain satin titanium BrewDrivers done today. They are the same price as the blue ones yesterday, $70 plus shipping. I still have several dozen more BrewDrivers to finish up so there will still be more chances to pick one of these up this week. I'll be doing some more colors next.

Plain ones are gone! Thanks you so much folks.

Blue BrewDrivers

Howdy Folks,

OK, I have the first wave of BrewDrivers ready to do. I had thought I would do plain ones first but I decided to anodize these blue. I will have some plain unanodized ones tomorrow though. These are taking me a little while to finish because they have to be deburred by hand and it is quite time consuming to get into the nooks and crannies. So there will be several waves of these with a variety of finishes and colors.

These titanium BrewDriver keyfob tools are $70 plus shipping. They will come with o-rings and a keyring.

Blue Ones are gone, thanks!

New Projects: BrewDriver

I'm still working on the new BrewDriver tools but they are very close to done. I should have the first ones finished by tomorrow. These are simple keyfob tools, turned from solid 1/2" bars of titanium and they measure 3.25" long. They feature a bottle opener and screwdriver/prytip on a diamond knurled shaft with a flat for my name stamp. The bottle opener is a two pry popper meaning it takes two shots to get the cap off but it does work fine. The screwdriver tip is the standard 1/4 wide size. A large lug style end with 1/4" hole makes getting the tool on and off the keys a very simple proposition.

I will be doing the first wave as plain pieces, no anodized colors. They look pretty cool both with and without the o-ring bumpers so I will include the o-rings and let users decide if they want them on the tool or not.

The price on these will be $70 plus shipping. I'll post a sale in the morning but right now I'm back to the grindstone, literally, for the afternoon. ;)

Stamped Business Cards

Hi Folks,

I managed to finish a few more Atwood Business Cards, all with stamps on them. I have a variety of images including crowns, sword hilts, tiny boat, leaves, owl and many others, mostly different. To keep it simple, I will send you whatever I send you, no choice, as they are all nice.

This is only a small batch so I will make it one per customer please. This is the end of the tools that are salvageable from the entire batch. They are $50 plus shipping and the link is below.

Sold Out, thank you!

New Projects

Hi Folks,

I'm working on a bunch of new stuff for 2010. I just finalized some drawings for a new Pry Bar type of tool which will be done in both steel and titanium. The CandyBars will be cut next week. I have an updated Superbug coming as well and I'm thinking of doing that one in titanium only. They are pretty big compared to the first ones... There are some other variation pieces in the works as well as a small titanium pendant tool.

I first mentioned in the comments last week that I'm working on a new tool turned from titanium bar stock called the BrewDriver. The BrewDriver tool is very close to starting actual production. I should have some completed samples in a couple of days and some pieces for sale in about one week if all goes as intended. I'm trying to get a very large batch of these produced. I don't know yet how much they will be as I do not have the final cost yet myself. What I have seen so far of the knurling, grooving, milling and quality of finish has me pretty excited though and I think this will be a really neat piece when they are finally done. The complexity of these things is crazy sometimes. However, I can envision several spin offs coming from this one if we can get all the turning and milling figured out so I'm hoping it's all doable.

I intend to get those long promised SAE WingNuts started through the finishing process by next week. They are close, just need a little more sanding and clean up. I also need to get to work on some long overdue sheaths for a few dozen Fixer knives that I still have in stock from last year.

There are several other things in the works too so stay tuned. It's going to be a very interesting year. :)
