Happy Wednesday Folks!
Bright and sunny skies continue here in New England. It's quite nice out there aside from the chilly breezes.
Today I have just a few Titanium Mini Poltergeists for you. These are mostly stamped and anodized, but there is one plain one available if anyone wishes to request it.
Mini Poltergeists will run $70 plus shipping and the link is below. I thank you for coming by today as always, and have a great rest of your week!
All gone, thank you!Howdy All,
Bright and crisp out there today. It was a good morning to finally tackle the leaky kitchen faucet that I have been putting off fixing for weeks. Replaced some parts and o-rings, and it is better but still not quite right. Must be the cartridge I'm thinking, so I will take it apart again and change that at a later date.
Well today I have just a little batch for you. These are the remaining Titanium Bermuda Beads from a few years back. They are anodized a wide range of colors and make a nice little "stacker" piece to go with other beads on a lanyard.
Ti Bermuda Beads will run $30 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks once again for slipping by, and I hope your week is shaping up to be a good one.
All gone, thank you!
Good morning, and a Happy Monday to you!
It's bright out there this morning, a bit cloudy but there's supposed to be quite a lot of sun today. It's quite chilly though with highs only about 40f predicted, and very windy later this morning. So it is going to be cold out there today.
I spent much of the weekend going through odds and ends in the shop and on the shelves. Some stuff was already finished and other pieces needed further processing. My main tumbler needs some maintenance as it is limping along and that is something I will need to tackle later this week. But for now I have gathered up some small groups of items for you and that will take me through for a few days.
Today I have a handful of Zirconium Mini Superbug Tools for you. I made these little bit caddy tools a few years ago. They have a wide variety of stamps on them and feature a cap lifter and captive bit system. The torch blackened surface is extremely hard and will stay nice for years of hostile pocket wear. I ran out of Phillips screwdriver tips so some of these will have T-10 Torx bits as I had a few dozen lying around. But of course you can use any 1 inch bit you want in them. A handy little item that is easy to carry.
Zirconium Mini Superbug Tools will run $65 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for coming by today and have a great week.
Sold out, thanks very much!Happy Friday Folks!
Looking forward to a nice weekend ahead, although definitely on the cool side. All my leaf blowing is done for the year and now I'm getting the snow blower ready for the inevitable.
Today I have a handful of gorgeous Timascus Hangman hooks for you! These all have stamps and vibrant colors. I do have one lefty available and also one V2.5 version with the pry tip so let me know if anyone wants one of those two.
Timascus Hangmen will run $80 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for popping in this morning and hope your weekend is stellar!
All gone, thank you folks!
Howdy Folks,
Well I've been grinding some tools this week. I'm close to finishing the steel Skeletaurs and will be sending them out to heat treat sometime next week, so a couple of weeks away from completion on those. Next up on the bench will be titanium PryDaddy Jr tools and they should go along pretty well once I get into them. I just completed a new drawing for a smaller version of the SupaWrench concept tool that I mentioned earlier this year but which has proven to be totally unaffordable to produce given the huge increases in costs for steel that I'm currently seeing. I'm still going to make them, and am aiming for completion this year, but in a smaller size and in titanium instead. Also underway is a batch of Zirconium Keytons and hopefully I will have those coming up in a couple of weeks. I have a few other smaller batches and groups of remnant items that I am gathering up and bringing to the finish line as well, so lots more fun stuff is coming up.
Today I have a handful of Stamped Timascus Mega Hexy Beads for you. These have a wide variety of finishes as well as stamps. They will run $50 plus shipping and the link is below. As always, I really appreciate you stopping by today and I hope you have a very nice relaxing weekend ahead!
All gone, thank you so much!
Hello from Cloudy New England!
Yes, it's another dark gray day, so common this time of year. We will see a bit more sun tomorrow and Friday it appears, but the temps are not going to get out of the 40's for the next ten days. Getting to be that time of year for sure.
Well today I have a little blast from the past for you. I found nearly two dozen 303 stainless steel Son of BeadThings hiding on a shelf in the shop. These big boys have some heft to them and can have multiple uses I hear.
Stainless Son of BeadThings will run $75 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for swinging by today and I hope things are rolling right along for you this week.
Sold out, thank you again folks!
Happy Friday Folks!
It's bright and rather cheerful out there today, although a bit chilly. I'm enjoying it while it lasts and am still patiently waiting for the last oak leaves to fall.
Today I have a handful of Timascus Hexy Beads for you. These have the Satellite Dots and are anodized a wide range of colors. Timascus Hexies with Dots will run $45 plus shipping and the link is below. Thank you as always for checking in this week and have a great weekend.
All gone, thanks again folks!
Brrr...a Happy Thursday to you all from frosty New England,
It's chilly out there this morning and most of the leaves are now down. We're being serenaded this morning by the angry buzz of a chainsaw as the neighbor gets some of his trees trimmed. To be followed soon by a wood chipper I am sure... This happens from time to time but is an annoying side effect of living in a heavily wooded area. Definitely no sleeping in for me. ;)
Today I have two dozen of these small size 303 stainless steel GripCoins with rifle knurling for you. These were a project that I made several years ago and were originally meant for sticking onto tools or small electronics in order to provide a better grip. They also make for a neat little worry stone type of thing for a pocket...I am out of the sticky tape dots that I originally used for the backing, but they are easily sourced if you want to employ these buttons for that function. Or you could also use velcro dots if you wanted these to be removable. Or you could stick magnet on them if you wanted. Or, you can simply enjoy them as a worry stone.
At any rate, this group has a wide variety of tiny stamps in the center. I also have two without stamps if anyone prefers that.
Small Stamped GripCoins will run $50 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for coming by today and enjoy the weekend ahead.
All gone, thank you again!
Happy Wednesday Everyone,
Another gray and cloudy day out there today. It's supposed to be getting cooler and a bit windy tonight so I will need to finish up some outdoor chores later this afternoon and make sure to batten down the hatches so to speak.
Today I have a couple dozen of steel Tiny Tims for you. This is the tail end of the CPM 154 batch from last year with the distressed Dungeon Black finish and a wide variety of stamps. The pic below is old and I think all those are gone, but it is representative of the batch. There are no lefties, but I do have a half dozen non stamped ones as well if anyone wants to request them.
Dungeon Black Tiny Tims will run $65 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks once again for popping by and have a great day!
Sold out except for a couple of plain ones, thank you so much!
I'm back again. :)
I have a couple dozen Titanium Bookies done this afternoon. These are cool little bookmarks and would make a nice gift for the readers in your life. This is the last group of them. Titanium Bookies will run $45 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks as always, and hope your week is going great so far.
Sold out, thank you so much! I will have some more of the older titanium blade style Bookies later this fall...
Howdy All,
Nice crisp fall day shaping up here. I'm slowly adapting to the time change but I really wish they would stick to one or the other instead of this darned change every year. I understand the arguments for and against, but it's a nuisance. Oh well, they probably never will resolve it and we're always going to be stuck with it I guess.
Today I have just a handful of the flat Titanium E115 tools for you. A super light weight backup for your wallet or a minimalist key ring. They will run $45 plus shipping and the link is below...thanks for coming by today and have a great week.
Sold out, thanks again everyone!
Happy Monday!
It's a little overcast out there this morning. We're definitely headed into the cold gray part of the year which is really not my favorite because I am a naturally sunny kind of guy. But the good part is that this time of year forces me back indoors and so I tend to get lots of work done.
Today I have a couple dozen Titanium Pocket Squares for you. As before in the previous batch, these are stamped and contrast anodized with a wide variety of images and colors. I do have a couple of plain non colored and unstamped ones if anyone wants to email me for them, but no lefties...
Ti Pocket Squares will run $85 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for swinging by today, and I hope your week ahead is a great one.
All gone, thank you!Happy Halloween Everyone!
It's amazing, but I actually have some titanium Count Sporkulas finished on the very day of Halloween for a change. Who knows, maybe I can get something green done for St Patrick's Day next year, lol.
Titanium Count Sporkulas will run $55 plus shipping. Thanks as always and hope you have a spooky evening.
All gone for now, thank you again!
Hi Everyone,
I'm back again! I have a couple dozen Stubby Steel MiniBars left. These are CPM 154 and have a distressed hot black oxide finish. This group is stamped but I do have a few without stamps as well if anyone wants to email me for them. I may have a lefty or two as well, will have to check.
Stubby Steel MiniBars will run $65 plus shipping and the link is below. Thank again for stopping in today!
Sold out, thank you!Howdy Folks,
Looks like we are in for an inch of rain today. That should take care of most of the clinging leaves that remain, aside from the tough old oaks which are always the last to fall. I should have only one more round of leaf blowing for the season and most everything else is now buttoned up for the coming winter.
Well today I have a couple dozen of the Timascus Mini Hexy beads for you. This is close to the end of the beads that I have on hand and so I will try to explore some new options for next year, but hard to know as the costs for turning metals are just through the roof right now.
Timascus Mini Hexies will run $45 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for swinging by today and I hope your upcoming weekend is terrific.
All gone, thank you so much!
Howdy Folks,
This is the first cooler week we have had so far this fall and it's a real harbinger of what is coming. It will only be in the 50's all week and it is supposed to rain tomorrow, so will be raw and chilly feeling. We did end up with a few colorful leaves here and there this fall, despite the ongoing drought, but leaf season was mostly kind of dull compared to some years. Now the weather seems to finally be turning wetter and that is a good thing for the trees, and our well water.
Today I have a brand new tool for you! I've always loved skeleton keys since I was a kid, and for years I have wanted to make a tool inspired by that iconic shape. The Skeletaur isn't an exact replica but it does rhyme, kinda like history...Titanium Skeletaurs are 3 inches OAL, and feature a broad pry tip with classic V notch, also a cap lifter 5/16-7/16 wrench set. A sweet little tool with a great hand feel. I have stamped these, but there are a few plain ones as well if anyone wishes to email me for one. And I did make several lefties also...a second batch in steel is on the bench and so those will be coming in a month or so.
Titanium Skeletaurs will run $70 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I hope your week is going great!
Sold out, thank you so much!
Howdy Folks,
I made quite a few of these nifty little ceramic tokens over the summer. They were rather fun to make and I really enjoyed mixing and matching the various subjects on the front and back sides. The themes are very wide ranging, running the gamut from nature images to pirates, space, fantasy and classical mythology, and some of the combos are quite unexpected and amusing. A neat little "lucky" EDC pocket piece or an interesting item for sparking conversation for your desk at work. They also will make great little stocking stuffers for the holidays.
Ancient Artifact Stoneware Tokens run $15 plus shipping and the link is below. The batch is quite large and I will leave them up for the duration. Thanks for coming by today and hope your holiday season is a happy one!
Sold Out, thank you!
Howdy Folks, I am finally back! ;)
Well it certainly has been a wild month. I had a rodent infestation in my garage that resulted in totaling my wife's old car and damaging my nine year old ride as well. So, after more than two weeks of cleaning and reorganizing I now have a very clean garage with tons of rodent prevention measures in place, and we both have new cars. Not the best timing, but maybe not the worst either, and, bonus, my garage now smells like peppermint, lol! Right after the car disaster I came down with a bad cold/flu that has taken two weeks to get over and I'm still not quite 100%. So, quite a miserable time, but now I am finally feeling better and am back to work in the shop.
Today I have the first wave of the long awaited Titanium ThumbNail tools done. These simple little guys are only 1.75" long and are modeled after the original tiny sized Wedgies from the very first batch made many years ago. I only made about 10 of those at the time, so I thought I would revisit them. These little guys are among the smallest tools that I have made, so a minimalist piece for sure. They feature a simple pry tip and 1/4 hex opening. I have stamped these, but there are a few plain ones as well for folks who prefer vanilla, just drop me a note. The Atwood name stamp is on the back side and they are ambidextrous.
Titanium ThumbNail tools will run $50 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for your patience and for popping in today!
All gone for today, thank you! New Skeletaurs will be coming up next week... :)
Howdy all, and Happy Almost Fall!
It's definitely cooling down here in the northeast, but still warmish for this time of year. That part is good but unfortunately the rain has still been scarce. We are in the worst summer drought that I can recall since I started gardening a decade ago. So it remains to be seen how much foliage color we will have this fall since a lot of the leaves are turning brown and drying up on the trees. Many trees and shrubs are already turning from the stress as well. Usually the first week of October is peak foliage so we shall see how it goes.
I've been quite busy in the shop for the past week. I just got done prepping out Zirconium Keytons as well as the new Titanium and Steel Skeletaurs. They will get milled next and then I can do finish grinding and final finishing steps. I keep putting off Titanium ThumbNail tools, but they are on deck and I just need to finish the grinds and anodizing. Several other nifty tool batches are brewing as well such as Titanium PryDaddy Juniors, so stay tuned.
Today I have the rest of the Timascus Keyton batch for you. These are quite gorgeous and I have enjoyed working on them. Actually working on them was sort of a pain, but the payoff comes at the end with all these fantastic colors! :)
So there is a wide variety of wild colors here, including one with very stealthy C-51 contrast if anyone wants to drop me a note and claim it. No lefties again I'm sorry to say, but I will have lefties coming up soon in the zirconium Keyton batch mentioned above.
Timascus Keytons run $95 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for dropping by and I hope your week is shaping up to be a fabulous one!
Sold out, thank you so much!
Howdy Folks,
Happy Monday! It's really cooling down up here in New England this week with highs expected only in the 70's. It's suddenly starting to feel very fall like after our scorching weeks in July and most of August. Still no rain in sight though.
Today I have another handful of Ancient Artifact Bronze tokens for you. I've been having some fun with these and will keep making them periodically in the months ahead. I also will have another group of the stoneware ones coming up shortly as well.
Ancient Artifact Bronze tokens will run $55 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for stopping by as always, and have a great last week of summer ahead.
