Stamped Mini Poltergeists

Hey Everyone,

Hope you all are having a good weekend! It's another rainy and gloomy day here so since outside activities are a wash I figured it would be a perfect day for a sale.

Today I have CPM S35vn steel Mini Poltergeists with antique stamps on them. These were in the same run as the recent plain mini Poltergeists so they have been tumbled to a nice buttery smooth finish. Stamps are mostly different so I'll send you what I send you... They are $55 plus shipping...thank you and have a great rest of the weekend!

All gone for now, thanks so much folks!

Left Handed G5 Prybabies

Howdy everyone. It's been a gorgeous day and I've spent a good bit of it outside doing Spring painting. Now it's time for a break and a short sale...

I don't have many of these so it's a one per customer sale. I rarely make left handed tools so it would be great if the righties would let the lefties have a go at these. No worries if you are right handed, I have many many more G5 Prybabies underway both in Roid Edition and normal thicknesses as well.

The Left Handed G5 Prybabies are made of S35vn steel with raw bar finish. They are $65 each plus shipping and link is below. Have a great weekend folks!

Lefties are gone, thank you so much!

Mini Ribbed Lanslides

Howdy Folks,

It's a beautiful day here today. Sunshine and pleasant temperatures. A big contrast to yesterday in which we had hot muggy weather and violent storms. There were several tornadoes south of here in the city of Springfield and several people were killed. Very rare weather for this area. Luckily for us there was no damage here and no loss of electricity. There were some anxious hours though watching the live footage of the storms and looking out the window at the swirling dark clouds passing by our house. You could really see the distinct layers of air movement going on.

Anyway, getting back on track...originally I was going to do a lot of the ti gear leashes but they take too much time to tie up so I'm taking the "lazy" way out and offering the beads as regular Lanslides. These smaller sized ones are particularly elegant in shape and are the same size as the Mini Rifle Knurl beads I did earlier this year. I think they are my new personal favorite.

The Mini Ribbed Lanslides run $15 each plus shipping as usual and the link is below. As always, thanks for stopping in and fear not, there is tons more stuff in the works as well so stay tuned!

All gone for now, thank you so much!

G5 Prybabies: Roid Rench Edition

Q: What do elite sports stars in baseball, football, bicycling and the new G5 Prybaby all have in common?
A: They've all been Juicin'!

I wasn't expecting these back from heat treat this week since I sent in the regular thickness G5s first. But back they are...this special edition of the G5 Prybaby is made of super thick and tough CPM 3V tool steel hardened to 57-59 Rockwell and cryogenically treated. They retain some of the high temperature heat treat colors in the inside corners and surfaces so if you see a reddish tinge it is not rust. Unlike regular cutlery steels CPM 3v requires a very high tempering temperature to bring out it's incredible toughness, hence the color.

Anyway, at nearly 1/4" thick these are the most robust Prybabies I've ever made. They are monsters. I made sure they had an extra long tumbling too so the corners and edges are nicely softened for a comfortable grip.

The G5 Roid Renches will run $70 each plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks so much for your patience during the past few weeks while I got all these batches ground, milled and processed!

Sold Out for now! Thank you!

Poltergeists with Stamps

Happy Easter Weekend Everyone! It would be happier here except we just got a dusting of disgusting snow on the ground. I thought this was supposed to be Spring! :(

I've been doing some grinding the past two days, getting stuff into the pipeline so I can keep things going...the pace often seems glacial but progress is inevitable.

Anyway, today I have some stamped Poltergeists. This is pretty close to the end of the Poltergeists for now. They are $55 plus shipping and once again, it will be one per customer, mostly different stamps so I'll send what I send. Thanks for stopping in and I hope everybody has a safe and fun weekend.

Sold Out, thank you folks!

Mini Poltergeists with Stamps

Hey Everyone,

Tonight I have some Mini Poltergeists done. These S35VN steel tools are the same size and profile as the Ghosts (2.5" OAL) from last year but they have a single 1/2" hex opening. Originally I was going to call these the Cyclops but they look more like a Mini Poltergeist to me now. :)

This small batch has my antique stamps on them and are $55 each plus shipping, link is below. The batch is small so one per customer please and since most of the stamps are different I'll send you what I send you, they're all very cool. Thank you!

First Wave is Sold Out, thank you!

How About Some Action?

Howdy Folks! I'm back. Feeling great, full of energy and the surgeon just gave me the go ahead to get back to my mostly normal life again. I explained to her that my life is far from normal... :D

Anyway, today I have some plain stonewashed Poltergeists done. I'll have a series of small batches of tools over the next few days but we'll start out with these first. They are $50 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for bearing with me and for your patience!

Plain ones are gone but I have more tools on the way. Thanks!

Feeling Great

Yeah, so it's just amazing what one week or lazing about recovering from surgery will do for you. I'm feeling almost back to normal. I have a followup visit to the doc in a couple of days, but I think I'm ready for some light work this week.

The first batch of tools came back from heat treat a few days ago but they are going back for another round of tumbling. These guys had some shakeups over the winter and a bunch of older workers left. The new guys are just not paying enough attention yet and so they let stuff out the door before it's ready. Not enough cycle time on the tumblers so back they go and I gave them a good chewing out. The second batch was due to ship to me on Friday but after our discussion they agreed to just go ahead and retumble those as well as a preemptive step. I should be getting that second batch by mid week and so end of this week I think the sales will finally be starting back up.

Off to do taxes now. :(

Disappointed but Upbeat

Hey, so I was hoping those Poltergeists would be back from heat treat by now but for some reason these guys are dragging their feet. That means they will not be back to me until Monday at the earliest but more likely later on next week.

Now, next week I am taking some days off, probably the whole week in fact. I'm having my gall bladder out. It's an outpatient laproscopic surgery and really shouldn't be too big of a deal but I'll be sore and doped up for a couple of days at least. Maybe by the weekend I'll be back on my feet and moving forward.

The great news is, I have just a ton of stuff going so the middle and latter part of April is going to be crazy crazy busy. Those who have been wanting G5 Prybabies will not be left out because there are three whole batches in the works. Probably will be May on those but they are certainly on the way. Also, Poltergeists and mini Poltergeists in large quantities and the E115 tool. And the titanium Poltergeists and mini Poltergeists have also been started. I'm contemplating some Gasbabies too.

The Dace knives are on hold indefinitely. I had some production difficulties but I'm still hopeful that the batch can be saved. I'm looking at my options and I think there's a way to get them finished to my satisfaction eventually but don't hold your breath on them.
