Plain Titanium Atwrenches

Hello again my friends, and Happy Weekend! It's cold and drizzly here, and it probably means no baseball this afternoon. Oh well...

So I thought I would slip in a little weekend sale for a change. Today I have a couple dozen plain Titanium Atwrenches for you. Most are familiar by now with the features of this classic tool, but here they are for those not as well versed with the specs: They are made from hefty 6/4 aircraft grade titanium. They have an OAL of 3.1 inches, so the perfect size, thickness and length for a key ring tool and indeed they feel great in the hand. The features include a broad pry tip, a cap lifter which doubles as a 5/16 wrench, and a 1/4 - 1/2" SAE wrench set in the handle. The finish is heavily tumbled and these stout tools are built to last literally forever.

Plain Titanium Atwrenches will run $75 plus shipping and the link is below. Thank you for coming by today and have a great weekend!

Sold out, thanks again folks!

 

The totally awesome giant 3D printed Atwrench was gifted to me by a long time collector, thank you Joe! :D

 

Count Sporkula Classic

Happy Friday Folks!

We're going to have a relatively nice day ahead with highs in the 60's and some sun. But then it will turn chilly and miserable for a week or so. Spring in New England is such a tease!

I'm ignoring unsettling current events and concentrating on production this spring. I have tons of projects underway and will hopefully get some brand new tools finished for sometime next week. First up is a new design called the Pocket Square which will follow in the footsteps of the QuickDraw. Also coming soon is a Zirconium Wroid version of the E115. A new pocket tool design called the TriStone is underway in timascus and zirconium. Also freshly cut is a batch of Micro Mini Wedgies similar to the originals called the ThumbDrive. I have a batch of compact PryDaddy Jr tools underway. Also just cut are some Keytons in Zirconium and Zircuti. A tub of Timascus Tombstones are still languishing in the corner and I have vowed to tackle them this summer. I have a new thin titanium bookmark clip underway and I have begun grinding steel Prybabies. Lastly I am finally getting pricing on cutting a brand new steel SupaWrench tool that I have wanted to make for some time. A few new and different ceramic items are also underway. All in all, an interesting variety of cool items with a wide variety of price points to take us through the year. 

Today I have some new titanium Count Sporkulas for you. I'm calling these the Classic version since they have the refined fork tine shape and a round hole in the center, as well as the cap lifter and rounded spoon end. 

Count Sporkula Classics will run $55 plus shipping and the link is below. The batch is large and the link will remain up for the duration...Thanks so much as always for stopping in, and I hope your spring is arriving sooner rather than later!

Temporarily sold out, thank you so much!

Happy Spring!

Howdy Folks! Happy Spring to you all. It's still quite cool up here and we have one small pile of ugly icy snow left in the yard where the plow pushed it up. But daffodils and crocus flowers are poking up all over the place, and it looks like my treasured tiny strawberries have all wintered very nicely. I have started lots of sweet pepper plants and very soon will plant some tomato seeds as well.

Sorry for the long radio silence, there has been so much going on here. Projects have been very slow to get rolling this year for various reasons, but much of that has been solved and I just need to do a bit more machine maintenance. But I have quite a few new designs already cut or about to be cut, so lots of new stuff is on the menu for this year. I've also been taking a deep dive into research on historical artifacts and designs, and that has yielded some very cool new ideas and interesting directions to explore. There is so much cool stuff rolling around in my head right now that I can barely articulate it, but I will let you in on some it in the weeks ahead. 

Today I have a batch of lovely Timascus Mega Hexy beads for you. These have satellite dots milled into them on 5 sides and a name stamp on the sixth side. They are flame colored and have a variety of gorgeous patterned colors on them.

Timascus Mega Hexy beads will run $50 each plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for stopping by today, as always, and I hope sunny warm days are coming to you this week as well.

All gone, thank you so much!   

 

Flat Ti E115 Backups!

Howdy folks,

Well the winds are howling out there and there are power outages all around. It is bitter cold and has been for the past several weeks. This is turning out to be quite the nasty New England winter and the snow and ice storm we just had this past weekend was a doozy. Anyway, after today it should settle down and just be very cold for a couple of weeks with no significant threats on the horizon. Spring will come dammit, it has no choice. Hehe. :)

I've been scrambling to do some planning for the year and have just completed several new drawings, two of which are already being cut and another is on the bench already. I've spent a lot of time researching all sorts of zany stuff and looking at tools from the historical record for inspiration. This has always my most productive time of year for drawings and new ideas since I tend to be stuck indoors. It will be an interesting few months ahead as some of these items start coming along.

Some old timers may remember the flat tool series that I made years ago that included Keytons and various Prybabies. I decided to make a couple of new tools along the same line. 

Today I have a batch of Flat Titanium E115 tools for you. These are plain with a nice burnished finish that feels great in your hand. They just have a name stamp, although I will make some with decorative stamps and color anodizing soon. This lightweight back up tool is only .060 thick, but it is still plenty strong enough for simple light pry tasks. For instance, I was able to open a paint can with ease during my testing. An SAE wrench set completes the package. Handy little tool for the wallet or for those who seek a minimalist light EDC kit.

I did make some lefties btw, if anyone wants to email me, and I will actually use one of the lefties today for the stock photo.  

Flat Titanium E115s will run $45 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for popping in today and I hope you stay warm out there!

Sold out for today. Thanks so much! I will have more of these soon with stamps and anodizing.

 

Count Sporkula: Broad Fork Edition

A Happy Monday to you all,

We're looking at some moderate but typical winter temperatures this week. It won't be too terribly cold, but still quite cold enough. At least the sun will make a few appearances throughout the week which always cheers me up.

Speaking of folks who need to be cheered up...these fires out in LA are absolutely insane and will probably be the biggest disaster the country has ever seen. The needs of everyone, rich and poor alike, are intense and will only be more so in the weeks and months to come. So I've been trying to think of little ways to help. I don't entirely trust huge charities to necessarily deliver the biggest impact since they tend to be so bloated, but I figure the old manure analogy probably applies: The more you spread it around the more good it will do. So in keeping with that idea, a portion of today's sale will go to the Los Angeles Food Bank, because without a full belly it's going to be hard to rebuild anything.

Today I have some brand new Count Sporkulas for you. These are made of 301 half hard stainless steel, which offers both excellent rust resistance and enough stiffness to be up to the job of light tableware. This alternate Sporkula design has broader fork tines. It also has a wider spatula/spoon end which features two different radiuses on the corners for a variety of scraping and scooping tasks. This is a nice little tool for camping or simply daily wallet carry and it has a satisfying heft to it.

Stainless Count Sporkulas will run $50 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for stopping by today and hope your week is a great one.   

All gone for now, thank you again!

 

 ****Over $800 raised so far guys, thanks so much! I know it's just a drop in the bucket, but every little bit helps. Funds went to the LA Food Bank, Red Cross, an air purifier for a classroom in LA and basic supplies for two teachers in Altadena who lost their entire schools. I will do more of these this winter, thanks again!
