Zirconium Mini 5 Flutes

Howdy Folks, and Happy Fall! 

It's just lovely this week with comfortable daytime temps and cooler nights. The leaves have finally started turning everywhere and we are getting some spectacular shades of red and orange on the maples. You can hear them falling off the trees when it's quiet, along with a steady stream of acorns from the oaks. I am almost considering wearing a hard hat now because while was working in my garden over the weekend an acorn bonked me right on the head! That sucker hurt too.

Today I have another batch of Zirconium Mini 5 Flute beads for you. These are flame blackened and burnished to create a scratch resistant finish resembling polished hematite or obsidian, which will wear incredibly well for years to come. Truly one of the most durable finishes that can be created in a home shop without fancy industrial processes such as DLC. 

Zirconium Mini 5 Flutes will run $35 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for popping in today and I hope you have a fantastic week ahead!

All gone for today, thank you so much!  

 

 

Steel Skeletaurs

Hi Everyone, and Happy Almost-First-Day-of-Fall!

It's really got that feel this morning, chilly and damp. We are starting to get a few yellow leaves turning but not much red yet. When I walk down to the mailbox I have to dodge green acorns all over the driveway from the tired looking oaks. 

Today I have a few more steel Skeletaurs for you. These are all stamped with a wide variety of images, and there are a few plain non stamped ones as well. There are two lefties here also, if anyone wishes to request them.

Steel Skeletaurs will run $80 plus shipping and the link is below. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope your autumn is starting off great!

Sold out, thank you so much!

 

 

 

G5b Flatbabies!

Howdy Folks,

Well it's been an unusual month so far, and staying quite warm for this time of year. I am seeing some spots of colorful leaves though when I drive around the area, so by next week I think it will be cooling off more. I'm looking forward to taking a few drives this fall and enjoying what I think is going to be a spectacular leaf season this year.

Today I have something quite unusual for you, another blast from the past. I was going through some old boxes in the shop and came across these long forgotten G5b Flatbabies. These cool little backup pieces were made many years ago and are cut from 420 stainless steel. Many of them have character marks and tiny pitting areas that happened during heat treat but they are still perfectly usable. And there are two lefties available as well if anyone wishes to drop me a line.

G5b Flatbabies will run $60 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for swinging by this morning and I hope your week is starting out great!

All gone for now but I have a few more that I will be finishing soon. 

 

Plain Titanium Mini Five Flutes

Hello my friends! It's a lovely September morning here in New England. Definitely a chill in the air this morning and I'm not sure how long the warm days will last, but it looks like there is a stellar sunny week ahead, and it should be good sleeping weather at night.

I've been busy picking away at some remnant batches and will have a few Skeletaurs coming up soon. There are a handful of ThumbNails left that I need to finish as well. More KingPins in a variety of metals await their pin grinding, and I have a couple of small batches of timascus tools that I will try to get to shortly also.  

Well today I have another batch of plain Titanium Mini Five Flute beads for you. I do have a few with color anodizing as well if anyone wishes to request them. There are still some Zr and a few timascus as well, just drop me a line, (lottagear2000-pp@yahoo.com).  

Plain Titanium Mini Five Flutes will run $35 plus shipping. Thanks for checking in, and I hope your long weekend was a great one! 

 

 

The Prince of Forkness Returns!

Howdy Folks,

Summer is definitely drawing to a close here this week...I think this may be our last day when the temp hits 80F degrees. My garden is looking tired and the trees are starting to get a tinge of color here and there.

Today I have a couple dozen of an Atwood classic for you. The Prince of Forkness returns! This is the last batch of the titanium Count Sporkulas that I cut last year. I also have one or two of the original ones from the very first batch if anyone wishes to request one...excellent little wallet friendly eating utensils.

All gone, thank you so much!

 

 

 

Ultralight S30v BedBugs

I'm back again folks!

Fabulous day out there today with clear blue skies and perfect temperatures. I'm super busy today with a variety of things going on, but I thought I would slip another sale in...

Today I have the second of two thin S30v projects for you. These Ultralight BedBugs allow you to carry any standard 1 inch screwdriver bit with you, and also use that bit utilizing the clever integrated o-ring retention system. I have added a light duty pry tip/scrape function as well as a 5/16" wrench and caplifter. All in a super compact package measuring just under 2.5" long...light raw bar texture with bead blast finish. Like the previous sold out Ghosts, these are all unstamped except for Atwood name stamp, and I do have a couple of lefties available if anyone wishes to request them.

Ultralight BedBugs will run $60 plus shipping and the link is below. Hope you all are having a nice week and thanks for stopping by today.

All gone, thank you!

 

PryDaddy Jrs with Burnished Patina Finish

Hi again my friends!

Another lovely day is brewing out there today with a mix of clouds and sun. I will make sure to get outside this afternoon and tend to some gardening tasks. Gotta enjoy it while it lasts.

I've been continuing to explore finishes for titanium. For years I have been looking for ways to create finishes that are resistant to fingerprints and dulling of the colors. I have tried sealers, oils and spray lacquers but generally have found those methods to be messy or inferior. When I hit upon the two tone finishes I was much happier with the outcome because I could start with high voltage colors and after partially removing them through various methods I could then reanodize to a lesser voltage and create finishes that were much more resistant to use and abuse while maintaining their integrity. Well, now I have added another burnishing step and it just might be my favorite so far. The buttery finish and depth of effect on these latest tools is really nice and is probably what I will be sticking to going forward.  

These PryDaddy Jr tools with Burnished Patina Finish have a wide variety of stamps as well as color combinations, including some with C-51 neutral coloration. I varied the grinds a little bit as well, so between all these factors no two are exactly alike. And there are a couple of lefties available as well if anyone wishes to request them.

Prydaddy Jrs will run $75 plus shipping and the link is below. As always, I thank you for coming by today and I'm wishing you all the best in these waning summer days.

All gone for today, thanks so much!
