B Stock Beads!

Howdy Folks,

Sorry for the long radio silence lately. A nasty cold made it's rounds in our household and we are still recovering. Then suddenly last week my old work computer went on the fritz and decided to die. So it's been just a tremendous amount of fun battling viruses and then rebuilding a whole new system and recovering all of my files...not! LOL...well, thankfully all that is behind me. Now I have a blazing fast new machine, all of my data was ultimately saved and life is slowly returning to normal. 

Updates: Coming up will be a brand new pocket tool design called the Pryon, probably sometime next week. I am currently in the middle of grinding more of the PryDaddy Jr tools. I have another half batch of Zr Keytons to finish and those will be coming up in couple of weeks. I have some more titanium ThumbNail tools that I am almost done with and should be coming up next. In other news, I am in the initial phase of producing some brand new fluted beads, so I am hopeful we could see a batch of them coming this spring. I also have a pile of cool new ceramic mugs that have been bisque fired, and I'm hoping to get up to the studio to glaze them in the next few days. I also have several older projects that have been languishing for way too long, so hopefully I will find some shop time and get them going this spring as well.

Today I have a small batch of older Lanslide beads for you. These are titanium Minis with Racing Stripes and were among the very first batches of mini beads that I made many years ago. This group had been set aside because they were drilled slightly off center for some reason. They may have been the first couple dozen set up pieces that were turned until the program got dialed in properly. At any rate, the out of center hole is not noticeable on a lanyard and the beads are still perfectly serviceable, so it would be a shame to toss them in the bin.

B Stock Racing Striped Beads will run $20 each plus shipping and the purchase link is below. Thanks for popping in today and hope your week is going great!

Gone in a jiffy, thank you so much!

 

 

G2 Ghosts

Howdy All,

It's relatively mild this week and at least the ice is almost all off my driveway finally. It's going to be a long two months before we see some actual reasonable temps though. And today we are due for another 6 inches of snow, bleh.

I had just a dozen of these old steel G2 Ghosts laying around. They are technically B stock so expect to see some minor pitting in the steel left over from the heat treat process and lots of minor sanding marks, but they are all quite usable. None are stamped and there are no lefties...

B Stock G2 Ghosts will run $70 plus shipping and it's a tiny batch so one per customer please. Thanks for swinging by and I hope your weekend ahead is stellar!

Gone in a jiffy, thank you so much! 

 

Area 51 Zirconium E115s

Hello Folks,

Well, after many weeks of unbelievably cold temperatures this winter, Mother Nature has finally granted us a reprieve! We are going to reach 30 degrees today, and that is just fantastic. I think I might put a blanket out on the snow and do some sunbathing, hehe. And we are going to be seeing 40's for the next few days, so that will be quite welcome indeed. 

I've been busy in the shop grinding tools and making a few mugs. Several new drawings have been finalized as well, so there will be some nice goodies coming up in the next few weeks and months. 

Today I have a couple dozen fancy E115 tools for you. This is the tail end of the Zirconium Wroid batch and on these I have elected to give them a wide variety of A51 extra grinds and stamps. No lefties remain unfortunately and no plain ones either, but they do have that new glassy, burnished finish that the recent Zr Keytons had.

A51 Zirconium E115 Wroids will run $90 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for popping in today and hope your upcoming weekend is a warm one.

All gone, thank you so much!

 

Zirconium Keytons

Howdy Folks!

Brrr...it's another freezing cold day here in New England. I reckon we got somewhere between 15-18 inches of snow over the weekend, but it's hard to say exactly because the snow is so powdery and drifty that it makes measuring very difficult. And the below zero degree and single digit temperatures that accompanied it have been quite miserable. We have a few more days of this and then we should get a little bit of a reprieve, although when 30F feels tropical you know you've been through the ringer!

Today I have the first wave of Zirconium Keytons for you. These came out with a very nice glassy looking finish that I just started experimenting with. They feature my usual wide range of stamps, although I did leave a couple without stamps for anyone who wishes to request them. I also have a couple of lefties.

Zirconium Keytons will run $85 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for swinging by and I hope you're staying warm out there!

Sold out for now, thank you so much!

 

 

New Titanium Ragman Hooks

Howdy Folks,

Well it was quite a snowy weekend here in New England. I think we got about 8 inches total but it was spread out into three or four rounds over several days. Enough for the plow guy to come a couple of times even though the amounts were small. Oh well, he has to eat too I reckon.

Today I have some newly designed Titanium Ragman Hooks for you. I really liked this design the first time around, and I found some remaining rags in a box while cleaning out the garage last fall, so I figured I would bring the Ragman back. I tweaked the shape a little bit but they are just as cool as the originals.

These Ragmen are stamped with a wide variety of motifs, and have a plain finish. Each will come with a PPT!! rag. I do have a handful of unstamped hooks too if anyone wants to request them, as well as a few lefties. 

Titanium Ragman Hooks will run $55 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for stopping by on this MLK holiday and have a great weeke ahead!   

All gone for now, thank you so much! 

 

 

Mugs Round Two

Good Morning Everyone, and Happy Wednesday to you all!

I've been busy arranging projects and planning stuff out. I have a few new drawings underway and hope to tell you more about those as they develop. I need to get back into the shop this week and do some grinding and tumbling...today and tomorrow would be good opportunities since it's not quite so darned cold. At any rate, rest assured that I have plenty of stuff in the pipeline and will try to keep things rolling over the next several weeks.

Today I have some more amber celadon mugs for you. I still have a couple more to be glazed at the studio and am planning to build a few more new ones in the coming weeks with cool themes, so there will be a slow trickle of them coming this winter.  

Mug #1, Mythical Monsters, featuring gryphon, dragon and pirate girl. This one will run $65 plus shipping:

Howdy Folks,

Well it's a lovely morning out there, and temps should be getting up to the 40's today. So a nice reprieve from the bitter cold...

I have a few mugs for you today, just in time for your morning coffee. These are from the first firing of the 2026 season and it's the first test of a beautiful new amber celadon glaze.

PryDaddy Jr!

Happy Monday Everyone,

Well it's another frosty one out there. We have been getting a little reprieve over the past few days with the cold temperatures, but it's still darned cold and I wish I could hit the fast forward button about two months. At least the light is getting a little stronger every day.

Today I have a few dozen of the new Titanium PryDaddy Jr's for you. These are cute little guys, more compact than the previous version. On this first group I have kept them simple and given them stamps only with a plain finish. On the next ones I will do a ruler scale and anodizing...I do have a few plain lefties as well today if anyone wishes to request them.

PryDaddy Jr tools will run $70 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for checking in, and I hope your New Year is off to a great start. :)

All gone for today, thank you so much!
 

 

Happy New Year!

Howdy Folks, and a Happy 2026 to you! I hope your holiday season was relaxing and that you got some time to kick back. Thank you so much for your loyal support for 2025, it was very much appreciated, and I'm very excited for what will be coming in this year ahead. 

It was unfortunate that much of what I had planned for the pre holiday season last year was so slow to get going that much of it came back to me from heat treat either just before or right after Christmas. However, it leaves me in great shape for this winter and I now have oodles of things either finished or close to done. Some very fun stuff is coming up. :)

Today, fresh back from S&W heat treat, I have the Steel Skeletaur Tools for you. Quality steels are getting harder to source because of the shut down of Crucible, and like everything else they keep climbing in price. So these tools are made from CPM 20CV which was what was available when I cut them last summer. This new-to-me material was a little more difficult to grind and it Rockwells out at 59, so it is going to be excellent for durability. Most of the Skeletaurs are stamped but I do have a handful that are plain. There are also a half dozen lefties for anyone who wishes to email me for them.

Steel Skeletaurs will be $80 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for swinging by this week, and I hope your 2026 is getting off to a great start!

All gone for now, thank you again!

Sold out, thanks so much guys! 

 

Titanium Atwrenches Return

Happy Tuesday My Friends!

Another brisk morning out there with temps in the teens. We shall have a small reprieve with highs in the 40s for tomorrow and Thursday though. Maybe I can get rid of some of the ice on my driveway before the next storm hits.

Today I have a few more Titanium Atwrenches for you. These are all stamped and have complex distressed anodizing on them. There are two plain unstamped and non colored ones as well if anyone wants to email me for them, but no lefties remain in this group.

Howdy folks and Happy Monday!

I've been jammed up with all sorts of obligations so keep getting delayed with finishing various projects. But things should settle down and I will get a chance to spend a couple of hours in the shop tomorrow.

In the meantime, I do still have several small remnant batches for you. Today I have a half dozen SAE Steel Mini Prybaby 19s. They are all stamped and I don't believe there are any lefties this time.

Steel Mini Superbug Tools

Howdy all,

Another frosty morning out there as we head into the weekend. The sun is shining though and it does look pretty out in the woods. It was very windy yesterday but that seems to have calmed down and it should be a nice day today.

Well I dug up the last of the steel Mini Superbug Tools for you. These were the best iteration of this tool IMO, and I have carried one myself on and off for the past year. This little group is stamped, but I do have three plain unstamped ones also available if anyone wants to request them.

Steel Mini Superbug Tools will run $75 plus shipping and the link is below. Have a terrific weekend ahead and stay warm out there.

Tiny Tim Wroids

Hi Folks,

Still freezing cold up here this week, but not as bad as last week. I think the snow is here to stay for most of the winter though, so definitely a snowier start to winter than the past couple of years. A good old fashioned New England winter I guess!

I just sent out steel Skeletaurs for heat treat, and those are being run today it sounds like, so hopefully they will be coming back in a few days. And I have a small batch of titanium PryDaddy Jrs in the tumbler now, so the first wave of those are coming shortly. Not sure yet what else I can finish before the holidays which are coming up fast...

Today I have a few of the Wroidy CPM154 Steel Tiny Tims which came out a few years back. These little cuties have a wide variety of stamps on the back side and are quite chunky in the hand.

Wroidy Tims will run $65 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for coming by today and hope your holidays are going great!

Sold out, thank you so much!

 

Blast From the Past: BitBuckets

Hello Folks, and Happy Thanksgiving Week,

It's a bright and mild morning out there today. The weather people have promised us cloudy skies for much of the rest of this week, but at least it should be snow free, for now.

Well I was looking for something in the shop this weekend and I came across a little pile of left over Titanium BitBuckets! I had totally forgotten about these handy little keyfob accessories...anyway, I have more than a dozen of the titanium ones with various two tone color finishes. I am running low on 1 inch hex bits so will toss a random Torx or Phillips in each one, but you can carry any combo of bits that you wish and there is room for two.

Titanium BitBuckets will run $70 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for checking in today and I hope you all have a lovely holiday week ahead!

All gone, thank you! 

 

Titanium Fleas

Happy Friday My Friends!

Another lovely day out there, typical cool temps for this time of year which will only reach the 40'sf. I will get out and about later when it warms up and soak up some of that low angle sunshine. 

Today I have a handful of Titanium Fleas for you. These were made a couple of years back and I still had a few kicking around. There are a couple with no anodizing but most of them do have coloring. Most are stamped as well, and there are some oddballs here. No lefties remaining...

Ti Fleas will run $65 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for coming by yet again, and I hope you all have a nice holiday week ahead.

Sold out, thanks again!
 

 

GearHead Beads

Happy Thursday Afternoon Everyone! 

I'm looking forward to this weekend having finally cleared my schedule of about a zillion things. Still got some leisurely reorganizing of my garage to complete, but no hurry on that. I'm also revamping my main tumbler in the shop, actually replacing it with a brand new one and I will fix the old one when I have more time, then I'll have two of that same type. Actually I have about 6 different tumblers of various sizes and for different purposes and they all have their places depending on the need. 

Well today I have the remaining titanium GearHead Beads for you. These were cut at the same time as the Bermuda Beads and were cut from textured material. These are all plain finish with no anodizing.

Textured Titanium Gearhead Beads will run $30 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for popping in today and hope your weekend is a good one.

All gone, thank you again guys!

 

Steel MiniBars

Happy Thursday Everyone! 

I'm back again with another little group of goodies for you. I have about a dozen of these CPM 154 steel MiniBars. They feature the open V notch style and some sweet milled decorative side grinds. A little extra length gives them more leverage than the Stubby version. These are all plain finish with no stamps.
