Wow, we are hurtling along through August at Mach 1. Hard to believe the summer is almost gone...
Not too much to report on projects, but hopefully Superbugs will be back from heat treat around the end of next week. I have a bunch of grinding in front of me too, so it's always a never ending challenge to juggle production and sales. We'll see how it goes.
Today I have the first wave of titanium R37 Rulers done. A number of people asked for plain ones, so I decided to do one full release with totally plain finish, with no stamping and no color anodizing. The second and third batches are already scheduled to cut next week and so stamped rulers and fancy color anodized ones will be coming in subsequent releases. But these today are all simple and very clean looking, and I will not be coloring any of these or adding stamps.
The R37 Rulers are made from the same robust 5/32 6al4v titanium stock as the older R25 series. They feature a 1/4 hex opening, 5/16 open wrench which doubles as a cap lifter, a 8,9,10mm metric wrench set and a center opening which is reamed to accept Scott McCoskery's nifty 3/8" spin cores. The 3 inch ruler scale is permanently marked (thanks to Kenn Jordan for a fantastic job on the deep CNC milling!) and there is a 70mm scale on the reverse side. All in all, this is a gorgeous heirloom quality tool with quite a variety of functions. I am sure your great grand kids and generations beyond will love it as much as you do!
R37 ti Rulers will run $75 plus shipping, and it is one per customer on these please. As I said, plenty more of these ruler tools are coming so no worries if you miss today, will be many chances to score them up the road. Thanks for dropping by this morning everyone, and I hope your weekend is great.
R37 Rulers are gone for now, more coming up the road, Thanks so much everyone!

Thanks Peter as a jewlery artist this is bound to become a go to tool on my bench
I really hate that I missed this one! These look amazing.
Is the SC38 a tight fit like on the fiddle toy? Or will loctite be required?
Thanks everyone!
Fit is fairly snug on the reaming. ;)
Ah man, was watching all day yesterday for these. Luv the plain look. Great job Peter.
Man I was waiting all morning for these... I take one break and they all sell out
Thanks for the batch of plain ones Peter and thanks to CuzzinKenn for his work. Kenn Jordan is simply badass !
