Plain Titanium Pocket Squares

Howdy all,

We've finally been having a lovely stretch of spring weather here and I have been flat out with trimming trees and brush, preparing the garden for the season and cleaning out the garage. So many things to do, but I have made great progress. In between I have been steadily chipping away at the various metal projects too.

Today I have a little wavelet of Titanium Pocket Square tools. These are totally plain for you vanilla lovers...this hefty .160 thick tool features a stout pry tip, 2 inch measuring scale and 1/2 wrench opening. I made a little relief cutout on the inside corner so that I could hand grind all six sides and produce a reasonably precise tool. These aren't quite at a "Starrett" level of precision, but they are certainly great for a quick reference. The finish is tumbled for a buttery smooth feel.

This group is plain but I am working on a larger batch with stamps and anodized finish which will be coming up shortly. I do have lefties available today for the plain ones and a few more lefties still to finish, so please email if you need a lefty.

Plain Titanium Pocket Squares will run $70 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for popping in, and I hope your spring is going great.

Plain ones temporarily sold out but more coming soon, thank you!

 

New Titanium Bookies

Howdy folks, and Happy Tax Day, if there is such a thing. :)

We had an infuriating couple of inches of inches of snow over the weekend, but luckily it's all gone. Should be milder temps and smooth sailing from here on out though.

The titanium Pocket Squares are awaiting finish grinds, stamping and final finishes. I will try to get them done this week, but I do have some jig fabrication work to do for stamping ruler scales on them. And my tumbler is still messed up, but I should be able to fix it up without too much trouble.

Today I have some newly designed Titanium Bookies for you. These are loosely modeled on an historic design from the late Victorian era, so they are a new take on an old idea. The originals would have been sterling silver, but I think titanium will suit these very well. The Bookies have a hand brushed and burnished finish. I have left them plain with no stamps or anodizing. Just the thing for your bed side table, and they will make a nice gift for the readers in your life.

Titanium Bookies will run $45 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for popping in today, and I hope your week is shaping up to be a good one!

Sold out, thank you so much! I will make more of these in the fall. :)     

 

Flat Titanium E115s

Rainy, drippy Saturday continues...hope it's nicer wherever you might be!

Here are the remainder of the Flat Titanium E115 tools from earlier this year. A handy little backup for your wallet, or just something ultralight that you can beat on without guilt for the keys. There are some lefties available as well by request, as shown below. Just drop me a note and I'm happy to send a lefty...

All gone, thank you so much!

 

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!
