B Stock Beads!

Howdy Folks,

Sorry for the long radio silence lately. A nasty cold made it's rounds in our household and we are still recovering. Then suddenly last week my old work computer went on the fritz and decided to die. So it's been just a tremendous amount of fun battling viruses and then rebuilding a whole new system and recovering all of my files...not! LOL...well, thankfully all that is behind me. Now I have a blazing fast new machine, all of my data was ultimately saved and life is slowly returning to normal. 

Updates: Coming up will be a brand new pocket tool design called the Pryon, probably sometime next week. I am currently in the middle of grinding more of the PryDaddy Jr tools. I have another half batch of Zr Keytons to finish and those will be coming up in couple of weeks. I have some more titanium ThumbNail tools that I am almost done with and should be coming up next. In other news, I am in the initial phase of producing some brand new fluted beads, so I am hopeful we could see a batch of them coming this spring. I also have a pile of cool new ceramic mugs that have been bisque fired, and I'm hoping to get up to the studio to glaze them in the next few days. I also have several older projects that have been languishing for way too long, so hopefully I will find some shop time and get them going this spring as well.

Today I have a small batch of older Lanslide beads for you. These are titanium Minis with Racing Stripes and were among the very first batches of mini beads that I made many years ago. This group had been set aside because they were drilled slightly off center for some reason. They may have been the first couple dozen set up pieces that were turned until the program got dialed in properly. At any rate, the out of center hole is not noticeable on a lanyard and the beads are still perfectly serviceable, so it would be a shame to toss them in the bin.

B Stock Racing Striped Beads will run $20 each plus shipping and the purchase link is below. Thanks for popping in today and hope your week is going great!

G2 Ghosts

Howdy All,

It's relatively mild this week and at least the ice is almost all off my driveway finally. It's going to be a long two months before we see some actual reasonable temps though. And today we are due for another 6 inches of snow, bleh.

I had just a dozen of these old steel G2 Ghosts laying around. They are technically B stock so expect to see some minor pitting in the steel left over from the heat treat process and lots of minor sanding marks, but they are all quite usable. None are stamped and there are no lefties...

B Stock G2 Ghosts will run $70 plus shipping and it's a tiny batch so one per customer please. Thanks for swinging by and I hope your weekend ahead is stellar!

Gone in a jiffy, thank you so much! 

 

Area 51 Zirconium E115s

Hello Folks,

Well, after many weeks of unbelievably cold temperatures this winter, Mother Nature has finally granted us a reprieve! We are going to reach 30 degrees today, and that is just fantastic. I think I might put a blanket out on the snow and do some sunbathing, hehe. And we are going to be seeing 40's for the next few days, so that will be quite welcome indeed. 

I've been busy in the shop grinding tools and making a few mugs. Several new drawings have been finalized as well, so there will be some nice goodies coming up in the next few weeks and months. 

Today I have a couple dozen fancy E115 tools for you. This is the tail end of the Zirconium Wroid batch and on these I have elected to give them a wide variety of A51 extra grinds and stamps. No lefties remain unfortunately and no plain ones either, but they do have that new glassy, burnished finish that the recent Zr Keytons had.

A51 Zirconium E115 Wroids will run $90 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for popping in today and hope your upcoming weekend is a warm one.

All gone, thank you so much!

 

Zirconium Keytons

Howdy Folks!

Brrr...it's another freezing cold day here in New England. I reckon we got somewhere between 15-18 inches of snow over the weekend, but it's hard to say exactly because the snow is so powdery and drifty that it makes measuring very difficult. And the below zero degree and single digit temperatures that accompanied it have been quite miserable. We have a few more days of this and then we should get a little bit of a reprieve, although when 30F feels tropical you know you've been through the ringer!

Today I have the first wave of Zirconium Keytons for you. These came out with a very nice glassy looking finish that I just started experimenting with. They feature my usual wide range of stamps, although I did leave a couple without stamps for anyone who wishes to request them. I also have a couple of lefties.

Zirconium Keytons will run $85 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for swinging by and I hope you're staying warm out there!

Sold out for now, thank you so much!

 

 

New Titanium Ragman Hooks

Howdy Folks,

Well it was quite a snowy weekend here in New England. I think we got about 8 inches total but it was spread out into three or four rounds over several days. Enough for the plow guy to come a couple of times even though the amounts were small. Oh well, he has to eat too I reckon.

Today I have some newly designed Titanium Ragman Hooks for you. I really liked this design the first time around, and I found some remaining rags in a box while cleaning out the garage last fall, so I figured I would bring the Ragman back. I tweaked the shape a little bit but they are just as cool as the originals.

These Ragmen are stamped with a wide variety of motifs, and have a plain finish. Each will come with a PPT!! rag. I do have a handful of unstamped hooks too if anyone wants to request them, as well as a few lefties. 

Titanium Ragman Hooks will run $55 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for stopping by on this MLK holiday and have a great weeke ahead!   

All gone for now, thank you so much! 

 

 

Mugs Round Two

Good Morning Everyone, and Happy Wednesday to you all!

I've been busy arranging projects and planning stuff out. I have a few new drawings underway and hope to tell you more about those as they develop. I need to get back into the shop this week and do some grinding and tumbling...today and tomorrow would be good opportunities since it's not quite so darned cold. At any rate, rest assured that I have plenty of stuff in the pipeline and will try to keep things rolling over the next several weeks.

Today I have some more amber celadon mugs for you. I still have a couple more to be glazed at the studio and am planning to build a few more new ones in the coming weeks with cool themes, so there will be a slow trickle of them coming this winter.
