Anodized Titanium KingPins

Happy Monday Folks! It's a dark and gloomy one here today with a chance of rain this afternoon which we could really use. Hope to see at least a half inch of rain if not a little more overnight.

Well, I managed to finish a couple dozen more of the Titanium KingPins for you, and this time they are anodized a wide variety of colors, as well as with a wide variety of stamps. I do still have a couple of plain stamped ones without anodizing as well if color is not your thing, just let me know...there will be a bunch more of these coming as the summer goes on and I get more pins ground, but this is what I have for today.

Anodized Titanium KingPins will run $85 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for coming by today and I hope you stay cool this week!

All gone for today, thank you!

Happy 4th of July!

Howdy Folks, and Happy 4th of July Weekend!

It's sweltering here again today with oppressive humidity, and temps will be in the high 90's for the third day in a row. It's been a good time to hunker down and get some work done in the cool basement shop...

Today I have some early fireworks for you! Oh man, these are so stunning that I can't believe it, and all you color lovers are in for a treat. After years of thinking about it I finally managed to get some Timascus Mini 5 Flutes made, and the colors are absolutely wild. I never thought I would see the day that I would get my hands on some of this material for beads, but they sure are pretty. And the photo below is very close to the actual colors, so they are quite vivid indeed. 

Timascus Mini 5 Flutes will run $48 plus shipping and the link is below. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend ahead, and thank you as always for swinging by today. 

All gone for today, thank you again folks! I will have more of these soon, along with ti Kingpins. Have a great weekend!

Titanium KingPins!

Happy Monday Folks,

It's gearing up to be a hot one here today. We'll get up into the high 80's, then it gets warmer as the week goes on, and it looks like we might hit 100f on Thursday. So it just might be the hottest week of the year heading our way.

Today I have a couple dozen Titanium KingPins for you. These are all plain burnished finish, without anodizing. They do feature a wide variety of stamps on the heads however, because I stamped all of these KingPin batches years ago when I originally made them. Some had Atwood stamps, and some were the decorative stamps. The only ones that I did not stamp years ago are the copper ones which I am currently stamping, and I still have dozens of those left to finish up this summer. As for the titanium ones, these are all with plain finish today but I have at least 100 of them remaining to finish and make the pins for, so a lot of the titanium ones coming up will have either solid or contrast anodized colors. 

Plain Titanium KingPins will run $85 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you are staying cool this week.

Plain ones are gone for today, thank you so much! I will have anodized and some misc ones done soon.

Copper KingPins!

Hi Everyone,

Well it's another lovely day here in the Northeast. We should be having temps around 80f today and it's mostly blue skies out there for now. 

I've been working busily in the shop on a couple of older projects that were never finished. Today I have a very cool one for you...KingPins return! I have a lot of these that were never finished, mostly because grinding the hardened pins is such a tedious process as it is all done by hand. But, I just bought some new equipment that makes the grinding a bit easier for me, and I am able to crank through the pins much more quickly. It's still a tedious process mind you, but not nearly as bad as before. 

I have a few dozen Tellurium Copper Kingpins for you today, but there are still some zirconium heads left over from the original batch, and a huge batch of titanium heads as well. So there will be several more waves of these coming over the rest of the year. These are all stamped and feature a wide variety of images. 

Copper KingPins will run $75 plus shipping and the link is below. Thank you for popping in today, and I hope your weekend ahead is a relaxing one.

Sold out for today! Thank you so much, and I will have more coming in copper, titanium and zirconium as the weeks go on.

Anodized Mini 5 Flutes

Howdy Folks and Happy Summer! 

Hard to believe that the days are flying by this fast. We're due for at least an inch of rain today, so that will be much welcomed.

I have another batch of titanium Mini 5 Flute beads for you today. These are anodized in a wide range of colors and I will just send them out randomly. I still have plenty of plain ones without anodizing if anyone wishes to request them as well.

Anodized Mini 5 Flute Beads will run $35 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for coming by today and I hope your summer plans are going great so far.

All gone for today, thank you so much as always! I will have more beads later this summer and fall, and also copper KingPins coming soon.

Zirconium Mini 5 Flutes!

Happy Monday Folks!

Well it's a lot cooler here this week, and we finally broke the drought last night with an inch of rain. Should be a great week for outdoor activities.

Over the weekend I finished up another batch of Mini 5 Flute beads for you, this time in Zirconium. These have that gorgeous glassy finish, similar to obsidian. I used a mint colored paracord to give them a strong contrast that looks very cool. The torch colored finish is ridiculously resistant to wear and these will stay looking great for many years.

Zirconium Mini 5 Flute Beads will run $35 plus shipping and the link is below. Thank you for swinging by today and I hope your week is a great one.

All gone for today, thank you so much!

Mini 5 Flutes Return!

Hello Everyone, and Happy Friday!

We finally got a few drops of rain overnight and we might get a storm later today. It's hot and humid right now but looks like it will be a little more reasonable next week.

Well today I have some oldie-but-goodies for you...Titanium Mini 5 Flute Beads return! It's been a few years but I finally managed to get a new batch of these done. Hopefully there will be more variations as the weeks go on as well. But for now I have a big batch of plain ones done for you. These are great tied onto the lanyards of knives, flashlights and other tools, and they work very well as zipper pulls on bags and jackets. An Atwood classic at this point, these minis are my own personal favorite size and shape.

All gone for now, thank you so much!
