Stamped Business Cards

Hi Folks,

I managed to finish a few more Atwood Business Cards, all with stamps on them. I have a variety of images including crowns, sword hilts, tiny boat, leaves, owl and many others, mostly different. To keep it simple, I will send you whatever I send you, no choice, as they are all nice.

This is only a small batch so I will make it one per customer please. This is the end of the tools that are salvageable from the entire batch. They are $50 plus shipping and the link is below.

Sold Out, thank you!

New Projects

Hi Folks,

I'm working on a bunch of new stuff for 2010. I just finalized some drawings for a new Pry Bar type of tool which will be done in both steel and titanium. The CandyBars will be cut next week. I have an updated Superbug coming as well and I'm thinking of doing that one in titanium only. They are pretty big compared to the first ones... There are some other variation pieces in the works as well as a small titanium pendant tool.

I first mentioned in the comments last week that I'm working on a new tool turned from titanium bar stock called the BrewDriver. The BrewDriver tool is very close to starting actual production. I should have some completed samples in a couple of days and some pieces for sale in about one week if all goes as intended. I'm trying to get a very large batch of these produced. I don't know yet how much they will be as I do not have the final cost yet myself. What I have seen so far of the knurling, grooving, milling and quality of finish has me pretty excited though and I think this will be a really neat piece when they are finally done. The complexity of these things is crazy sometimes. However, I can envision several spin offs coming from this one if we can get all the turning and milling figured out so I'm hoping it's all doable.

I intend to get those long promised SAE WingNuts started through the finishing process by next week. They are close, just need a little more sanding and clean up. I also need to get to work on some long overdue sheaths for a few dozen Fixer knives that I still have in stock from last year.

There are several other things in the works too so stay tuned. It's going to be a very interesting year. :)

MicroSpud Reprise

Good Morning!

I have a few 3V steel MicroSpud Wrenches available. I made these last spring and had set some aside thinking I would send them to get DLC coating but then completely forgot about them. I came across them this past weekend while cleaning up the shop. These have a bead blasted finish. Features include 7/16 wrench, bottle opener, prytip with wire stripper notch, 1/4" hex driver opening and alignment tool end, 5 inches OAL. The MicroSpuds are $70 plus shipping and the purchase link is below.

Sold Out, thanks folks!

Atwood Business Card

Hi Everyone,

Well, tax stuff and paperwork is taken care of and now I'm back on track finishing some projects and getting others underway. This has been a highly productive couple of weeks and I have come up with a lot of new designs and some new ideas for the next few months.

First up this year will be the Business Cards. You'll recall that I had a lot of trouble with these and even after getting them "fixed" there was still a high loss rate. I will only be able to save about 1/4-1/3 of the batch and even the ones that I am able to save are not necessarily perfect. So, if you are looking for absolute precision then you should pass on this one because even though most of these tools are acceptable there are some that are a little bit off as far as the rulers are concerned. I can tell you one thing: I will not be making any ruler tools again for the foreseeable future unless I'm able to find an outfit that is more on the ball!

The Atwood Business Card combines 21 wrench functions in a single wallet sized 420 stainless steel card tool. Features include six SAE sizes: 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16. Metric sizes include 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16mm in the center set and 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15mm in the righthand set. 1/4 and 5/16 nut driver openings and 5/16 bottle opener are included. Two rulers complete the package. These are all bead blasted.

These card tools measure 3.5 x 2 inches, same size as a standard business card. They weigh 1.6 ozs and are made of heat treated 420 grade semi stainless high carbon cutlery steel with a medium glass bead finish. There are NO TITANIUM ones in this batch and no, I will not be putting a cutting edge on these. The price is $45 plus shipping and the purchase link is below:

All gone for now but a few more coming in the next day or so. Thank you!

Titanium Atwrenches

Good Morning,

I have a tiny batch of Titanium Atwrenches available. These have been stamped with my antique diemaker stamps and are all different. And they are anodized all different colors as well. There are only a dozen of these so it will be one per customer and the price is $70 plus shipping. To keep it simple I'll just pick one unless you have a strong preference which can be indicated by email or comments field in the shopping cart. As always, thanks for stopping by today. :)

Sold Out! Thanks so much. :)

Bead Blasted MetWrenches

Hi Folks,

Hope you had a great weekend! It was good here. I didn't think about working for 4-5 days so it was nice to have a few days completely off. Anyway, I have a couple of things I want to get done before the end of the year...

I have a small batch of bead blasted Metwrenches available. Less than twenty pieces so I'll make it one per customer and the price is $60 plus shipping.

Sold Out, thanks!

No ABCards this Week

The Atwood Business Cards encountered a glitch so will not be ready this week. Hopefully we'll get them squared away for next year.

As you can see the dingdongs left off the beginning and the end marks on the ruler scale. I purposely made a ruler scale that was supposed to be centered in the space on this tool. That way if the machine marked it a little to the left or right then it would not matter if it lined up with the end of the ruler or not. I had to trash a few of the rulers earlier this year because they missed a mark.

But, they used the files for the old rulers which do not have the end marks that we specifically created for the ABC. The end marks should be spaced one increment over on either end and they are the same length as the 1 and 2 hashmarks. Same thing on the reverse of the tool which is metric. However, they say that they can run them through again and add the marks so we'll see...this sample is bead blasted but I'm hoping most of them would end up stonewashed. Otherwise, it's a nice tool. :)

From the insert card:

The Atwood Business Card combines 21 wrench functions in a single wallet sized 420 stainless steel card tool. Features include six SAE sizes: ¼, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, ½, 9/16. Metric sizes include 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16mm in the center set and 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15mm in the righthand set. ¼ and 5/16 nut driver openings and 5/16 bottle opener are included. Two rulers complete the package.

MetWrench with Face Grinds

Good Morning,

Looks like we dodged the bullet as far as the big snow storm is concerned. We didn't even get a dusting! I'm grateful because I was dreading all the cleanup and we already have lots of snow on the ground with much more to come no doubt. Best of luck digging out to the folks south of here though.

Anyway, I have two dozen MetWrenches available with extra grip Face Grinds. These are pretty cool looking. Because there's a small number I'll keep it at one per customer and they will run $65 plus shipping. As always, thanks for stopping by and hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend.

Sold Out, thank you!

MetWrench

Hi folks,

I have half the batch of MetWrenches done and ready to go. These are 5/32" thick S30v steel and feature Metric wrench sizes 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15mm. Also a heavy duty prytip/screwdriver and a bottle opener with distinctive M shape to denote that it is a Metric tool. There are no lefties, no titanium pieces, no stamped pieces and no glow dots on any of these. Pretty much a straight ahead batch this time.

Metwrenches are $60 each plus shipping. Thanks for taking time to stop by and hope your holidays are pleasant so far.

SlotShots

Good Morning folks. Sorry for the delay there...I had a bunch of family holiday related preparations and events to attend to. Finally got the SlotShot portion of this BigShot batch finished.

These have the same diamond knurl on them but feature three slots milled into the top ring. They are sized to accept the standard colored self lighting 1.5 x 5mm gas glow tubes that many of guys enjoy. I am not supplying the tubes, you will have to procure and install them yourselves if you want these. Alternatively, the slots could be filled with epoxy and glow powder mixture if you don't want to mess with the tubes or left alone, they look great left open too. The best current tube source is Bart on the Candlepowerforums Marketplace:

http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showthread.php?t=194646

The SlotShots are $60 plus shipping.

Sold Out, thank you!

Diamond Knurl BigShots

Good Morning Folks,

OK, I have some BigShots available with diamond knurling. These are really beautiful and I'm kicking myself that I didn't do some with diamond knurling before. Anyway, I didn't make a whole lot of them this time around but I'll certainly keep this style in mind for any future batches. Diamond Knurl BigShots are $55 plus shipping.

I have not yet finished the SlotShot version but hope to work on them later today for release tomorrow. They cost me a bit more to make so will be priced accordingly.

All Gone, thank you!

Wednesday, December 09, 2009

Update for December

Lots of stuff in the works.

I'll be finishing up the next batch of BigShots today. These have a heavy diamond knurl on them. They look and feel terrific. A portion of the batch are SlotShots and feature 3 milled slots in the top knurling ring that are sized to accept 1.5 x 5mm self lighting gas tubes. I will not be filling these slots but users can obtain their own tubes if desired and epoxy them in. There are sources on Candlepowerforums for the tubes.

Yesterday I sent out the Metric Atwrenches to be heat treated. We should see those completed around the end of next week.

The Atwood Business Cards are coming along well and should be ready to send to the laser engravers by the end of this week for the rulers to be applied. I'm not sure what the turn around time will be on those but hopefully it is about one week.

I have another SUSale coming in a day or two as well.

Talonite MSOPThing SUS

Hi Folks,

I finally got around to making some sheaths and finishing up these talonite MSOPThings that have been sitting on the shelf for the past two years. For those that aren't familiar with talonite it is an exotic cobalt based alloy that is completely salt water resistant. It is rare, expensive and a pain to work with. All of these tools have Glowcord handle wrappings and feature my antique satin finish, kydex sheath and bead chain.

Anyway, I have only nine of these little knives available and that is the end of the batch of them. The price will be $250 plus $15 shipping in the US or $30 for Express Mail International. The Sign Up Sale will run until 9PM Eastern Time tonight, December 3, 2009. Remember, one entry per person please, duplicates will be discarded before the drawing. As always, thanks for stopping by!

G3 Prybabies

Hi Folks,

I just got a batch of steel G3 Prybabies back from heat treat yesterday. These have the nice semi shiny Stone Aged™ finish on them for a cool instant antique look. The finish feels buttery smooth in the hand and resists scratching very well. Also, this batch is slightly thicker than the previous ones so the pieces are extra beefy. Improvements to this batch include larger teeth for better grip. Wrench sizes include 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2 and 9/16. There are no lefties in this run, sorry.

Sold Out, thanks!

All Gone, thank you!

So You Want Cool and Different?

I have several dozen Mini Prybabies available that are decorated with my antique diemaker's stamps. These are Original Minis so they are small, thick and hefty. I have many different stamped images and also different finishes including stonewashed, antique satin and bead blasted. So due to the great variety I have decided to avoid confusion and try to keep it simple...if you want one of these I will send you what I send you and there is no choice available, it's just too complicated to try to let people choose. Many of these are one of a kind and with some of the others such as the crowns, maple leaves, thistles and clovers I have several of each available. They are all pretty cool though so I think folks will like them.

These are $55 plus shipping and it is a one per customer sale.

Sold Out, thanks!

Here's a small sample of the designs:

More DotShots...

...I have a few More available.

Howdy folks,

I have a new wave of fancy DotShots available. Also a small number of the Original BigShots as well but I will get to those in a future sale. For those who may be unfamiliar with this product, these are 3 fl oz capacity stainless steel shot glasses, just the right size for a couple of ice cubes and a splash of your favorite libation. Turned and milled from a solid bar of 303 stainless steel, they weigh in at a hefty 1/2 lb each. If you're looking for an unusual Christmas gift for person who has everything then this would be a great one.

The only change made to this run was a slightly rounder and beefier lip to match the smaller Tippler shot glass a bit better. Otherwise they are identical to the previous batches. These are $55 each plus shipping and due to the weight I am only offering the Express Mail option for international buyers. Thanks!

Greenies

Good evening folks,

Plain Perfies

Alrighty then. I have some plain unanodized titanium Perforated Prybabies available today. These have a stonewashed finish. They are $90 plus shipping.

I still have more pieces to process from the batch so there will be more waves beyond this one. I'll probably do some green ones next.

Thanks for stopping by folks, much appreciated!

These are gone for now but there are more on the way, thanks!

Rainbow Perfbabies

Hi Everyone,

OK, I have the first wave of the ti Perfbabies done. They are slow going to finish them so the quantity is limited, hence I am keeping it at one per customer please. I will be having several waves of these in various colors over the next few days though so there will be several chances to get one.

For my international customers: This is an expensive item so I am giving you a choice of Priority Mail International shipping for $13 but there is no tracking and no insurance possible with this method of shipping. You may choose Priority to save a few bucks and it's no problem, but realize there is no recourse if the package is lost. I also will offer Express Mail International for $28 which does offer tracking and insurance so I leave it up to you. Titanium Perfbabies are $90 each plus shipping.

Sold Out! Thank you! More coming very soon.

Left Handed Chiggers

Good Morning,

I have a small number of left handed Chiggers available for my left handed customers.

Sold Out!

Friday, October 16, 2009

What's the Word?

In case you all were wondering what is next...

I sent out the titanium Perforated Prybabies to the tumblers earlier this week. For those unfamiliar with this tool it is a titanium version of the swiss cheese Prybabies that I made a few years ago. The old batch was made in steel. These titanium ones are the thickest Prybabies I have ever done at 3/16 thick and they look very similar to the original design although I did tweak the holes a little. The holes make the Perfies incredibly light at only 1/2 oz each. Speaking of holes, there are 37 per piece and both sides had to be countersunk so they were quite a bit of work besides the usual grinding and milling steps. Due to the extra work involved, the material costs and the waterjet costs these will come in at $90 each plus shipping. I will have them finished and available by the end of next week. As soon as I get them back from the tumblers I will snap a few pictures. I'll be doing a variety of colors.

Other projects: I'm working on some steel G3 Prybabies as well and should have them going in about 2-3 weeks. The next batch of WingNuts will follow that. Another batch of BigShots has been started and I will have regular ones with knurling and also some of the fancier DotShots with knurling. Also in the works is another small batch of Chiggers. And I will be revisiting the original Atwrench design in late November or early December but this time with a metric wrench set, the largest of which will be 15mm.

These are also some more Sign Up Sales coming with a variety of odds and ends in between the larger releases.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Thanks,

Peter

Paypal Gift Option

OK, I was originally concerned about the inability to create mailing lables if someone sent me funds via the recently added "gift" option in Paypal. That problem was solved when I learned about a different way to create the labels. However, I talked to my accountant and it seems that I should not accept payments via the gift option because it could be construed by Paypal as a violation of service terms. So, if anyone sends me a payment with the gift option I will be refunding it and contacting them to resend the payment as "goods". It might be anal but I want to stay out of trouble.

Saturday, October 10, 2009

Titanium Ring Tools

These are made of 3/16" thick titanium and the opening is equal to a standard size 12 ring so will fit onto small to medium sized fingers.

Green ones are gone. Thanks!

Got the Atwood Itch?

Well, maybe the Atwood Chigger™ will help you scratch it. :D

The simple design of this cute little tool pays homage to the classic key ring screwdriver/pry tools of the past but adds a bottle opener and 5/16" wrench. The large 3/4" hex opening makes it easy to slip onto a keyring and helps provide grip. The Chigger™ is made of 5/32" thick CPM S30v steel, is 2.25" long and features a stone washed finish. These are $45 plus shipping.

Thanks folks, these are gone for now! I very much appreciate it.

No Sale Today

Hi folks.

Paypal is doing something weird and for some reason I'm not able to view any transactions from today in my transactions list. So I will not be able to do a sale today until they get it straightened out. I'm able to accept payments and the balance is correct but no listing comes up with my transactions. Very odd. They have been doing some maintenance recently and obviously something is messed up.

I am going to try to get to some bead blasting today. Hopefully will get to the rest of the minis and also some FunnyBones in the next day or so. Thanks for your patience!

Mini Plus XL

Hi Everyone,

OK, I have a portion of the Mini Plus XL batch completed. Exact same specs as the Mini Plus but they have a small bend for extra leverage. The bend does not significantly change the length of 2.5".

These will be $55 plus shipping. Link is here:

Sold out for now, thank you!

Mini Prybabies®

OK, I have some Minis ready to go finally. This is the first wave only. I have several wave's worth of these coming over the next few days with several different flavors. This group is the largest and I'm calling it the Mini Plus Prybaby® to distinguish it from the Original Mini Prybaby®. The only difference between the two designs is the 1/4" hex in the body and also the Mini Plus is slightly lighter stock at 1/8" thick. These are all S30v steel.

A word on the tumbling. These have a nice satin stonewashed finish but are not quite as shiny as my recent batches of tools. Also, everything that came back from this tumble has some remnants of bronze heat coloring on the edges and inside surfaces and in the name stamps. This is the result of the tempering oven cycles and usually I don't see this. Not quite sure what they did differently but I want to make it plain up front so that folks don't email me thinking there is rust on any of these pieces. It's NOT rust, just heat coloring.

I will also be doing a portion of these with a bead blasted finish just like the original Minis. So more of them will be coming as I get them done. The straight Mini Plus group with stonewashed finish is what I have done right now so they are up first. XLs will be coming probably tomorrow afternoon. I did not get to any lefties yet. Thanks for checking in folks! :)

Mini Plus Prybabies® are $45 each plus shipping. Link is here:

Sold Out for now, more tomorrow. Thank you!

Update on Minis

So, I just spoke to my heat treat guy. They are all done and have been tumbled with the shiny Stone Aged finish. He is shipping the first batch of Mini Prybabies out to me today so I should have them on Monday's UPS. That means Tuesday will be the first wave of sales. I expect to be able to offer these in several waves over several days as I get them sorted, cleaned up and packaged up. Thanks for your patience folks!

Swordbaby

Howdy Folks! Hope your weekend has been a relaxing one. I've been working for some of it and kicking back for the rest of the time.

I have a few titanium G3 Prybabies available. I marked these with one of my 19th century antique die maker's stamps in the shape of a sword hilt with D guard. I only made two dozen and they are all anodized green. They are $75 each plus shipping and I'm keeping it at one per customer because of the limited stock. Purchase link is here:

Sold Out, thank you!
