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. :)
Any chance we could see some pictures?
ReplyDeleteOf course. I will be taking pictures as soon as I have something to take a picture of. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update Peter. Never forget us lefties...!
ReplyDeletePeter,
ReplyDeleteA few dozen fixers! I want one pleasssse!!!!
CANDYBAR? ugh im so far out of touch! But i opt for more steel than Ti tools, i like the weight.
ReplyDeleteBoy have you been busy!!!It all sounds great, can't wait to see some pics in the future!!! Thanks for the update! Gary :>)
ReplyDeleteI can make a sheath that will be safe until you put yours out. The fixer would be a proud item on my key chain. along with my perfbaby.
ReplyDeleteI want one also.
hmm... a couple of candy bars to go with the cookies... Time to check the pantry. (Pry-Baby Ruth?)
ReplyDeleteSounds like some great projects in the works. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteexcited to see some new products for the year!
ReplyDeleteOoh ooh pendant titanium tool sounds extremely interesting! :D (As does the brewdriver!)
ReplyDeleteThese announcements are very exciting. Sign me up for anything in metric sizes, or anything that can hold alcohol...
ReplyDeleteA few name ideas for your larger superbug.
ReplyDelete1. Superbug 3000
2. Brewbug
3. Ultrabug
looking forward to the new stuff!
Hehe, actually it's longer than the original so I might call it the Wroach.
ReplyDeleteBrewdriver? Man, just hearing the name makes me want one.
ReplyDeleteI like the New Project names. I am a titanium fan. Mostly cause I got too many steel tiny tools. Getting them in titanium give me a good excuse. Besides, they never rust, and I like the weight!
