Zirconium Mini Hexy Beads

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Well, today is the day, the AC must go in. It's only supposed to be around 80f, but tomorrow it will get into the 90's and that will last for a couple of days. So I guess summer is officially here despite the crazy cool spells we've been having. We just aren't acclimated to it yet this year...

Today I have a couple dozen plain Zirconium Mini Hexy beads for you. These are a great size and weight, and the hard torch blackened finish will wear just about forever. That layer of zirconium oxide that forms from the heating is so darned tough and scratch resistant.

Zirconium Mini Hexy beads will run $30 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks as always for checking in, and may the rest of your week be a productive one.

All gone, thanks again!

 

Happy June!

Wow, it's hard to believe we're at June already! It's been so cool and chilly here that it has felt more like early spring than summer. My garden is not entirely happy, but I did get my first Alpine strawberry of the season yesterday so that is great. Will be in the 90's by mid week, so that's just crazy.

I'm going to try to get some grinding done this week so hopefully will have more tools coming up shortly. I still have more Zr E115s to finish, and a few more Pocket Squares. Also underway is a tiny titanium tool called the ThumbNail, and some other neat items to be announced soon...

Today I have another round of the Classic Count Sporkulas. A handy little titanium tool, and I just used mine last week at lunch. 

Count Sporkulas will run $55 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks as always for stopping by today and I hope you're gearing up for a great summer!

Sold Out, thank you!

 

Zirconium E115s: Wroid Edition!

Howdy Folks,

It's another dark and cloudy morning here in New England. We've had a lot of that lately, with much cooler temperatures than normal. Very unusual spring, and especially month of May. But, I will have the first Alpine strawberries of the year ripening in just a few days, so that is super exciting!

Today I have a lovely batch of Zirconium E115 Tools for you, in Wroid thickness! These are obviously chunky, heavy duty pry bars and they feature regular grinds. I had fun mixing up the placement of the name stamp so these vary a bit in layout. All are stamped and they have been well tumbled to achieve a buttery smooth feel. The torch blackened, hardened and oiled surface will resist wear for years to come.

I have a couple of lefties available as well if anyone wants to request one. This is the first wave and a second group will be coming this summer.

Zirconium Wroid E115s will run $85 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks as always for dropping by today, and I hope your upcoming weekend is a great one.

All gone for today, thank you so much!

 

 

Fancy Pocket Squares

Howdy All! And a Happy Friday to everyone. It's a lovely day here, and looks like they will finally finish paving our road today. It's been a noisy couple of weeks with constant beeping, clanging, and diesel engines roaring. Right now they have a giant leaf blower on a tractor out there that is driving me crazy. Aaaaahh!

I've been chipping away at projects as usual. I'm almost done with zirconium E115s, so those will be coming up hopefully later next week.

Today I have the rest of the titanium Pocket Squares finished. These are all stamped, and then they had a couple of rounds of contrasting anodized colors laid down to give them a cool distressed finish and make the ruler scales pop. I have my usual wide ranging stamps, colors and themes. Lefties are sold out, but if anyone wants to email me I also have a couple with stamps but no coloring for those who are allergic to color. :)

Plain Titanium Pocket Squares

Howdy all,

We've finally been having a lovely stretch of spring weather here and I have been flat out with trimming trees and brush, preparing the garden for the season and cleaning out the garage. So many things to do, but I have made great progress. In between I have been steadily chipping away at the various metal projects too.

Today I have a little wavelet of Titanium Pocket Square tools. These are totally plain for you vanilla lovers...this hefty .160 thick tool features a stout pry tip, 2 inch measuring scale and 1/2 wrench opening. I made a little relief cutout on the inside corner so that I could hand grind all six sides and produce a reasonably precise tool. These aren't quite at a "Starrett" level of precision, but they are certainly great for a quick reference. The finish is tumbled for a buttery smooth feel.

This group is plain but I am working on a larger batch with stamps and anodized finish which will be coming up shortly. I do have lefties available today for the plain ones and a few more lefties still to finish, so please email if you need a lefty.

Plain Titanium Pocket Squares will run $70 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for popping in, and I hope your spring is going great.

Plain ones temporarily sold out but more coming soon, thank you!

 

New Titanium Bookies

Howdy folks, and Happy Tax Day, if there is such a thing. :)

We had an infuriating couple of inches of inches of snow over the weekend, but luckily it's all gone. Should be milder temps and smooth sailing from here on out though.

The titanium Pocket Squares are awaiting finish grinds, stamping and final finishes. I will try to get them done this week, but I do have some jig fabrication work to do for stamping ruler scales on them. And my tumbler is still messed up, but I should be able to fix it up without too much trouble.

Today I have some newly designed Titanium Bookies for you. These are loosely modeled on an historic design from the late Victorian era, so they are a new take on an old idea. The originals would have been sterling silver, but I think titanium will suit these very well. The Bookies have a hand brushed and burnished finish. I have left them plain with no stamps or anodizing. Just the thing for your bed side table, and they will make a nice gift for the readers in your life.

Titanium Bookies will run $45 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for popping in today, and I hope your week is shaping up to be a good one!

Sold out, thank you so much! I will make more of these in the fall. :)     

 

Flat Titanium E115s

Rainy, drippy Saturday continues...hope it's nicer wherever you might be!

Here are the remainder of the Flat Titanium E115 tools from earlier this year. A handy little backup for your wallet, or just something ultralight that you can beat on without guilt for the keys. There are some lefties available as well by request, as shown below. Just drop me a note and I'm happy to send a lefty...

All gone, thank you so much!

 

Plain Titanium Atwrenches

Hello again my friends, and Happy Weekend! It's cold and drizzly here, and it probably means no baseball this afternoon. Oh well...

So I thought I would slip in a little weekend sale for a change. Today I have a couple dozen plain Titanium Atwrenches for you. Most are familiar by now with the features of this classic tool, but here they are for those not as well versed with the specs: They are made from hefty 6/4 aircraft grade titanium. They have an OAL of 3.1 inches, so the perfect size, thickness and length for a key ring tool and indeed they feel great in the hand. The features include a broad pry tip, a cap lifter which doubles as a 5/16 wrench, and a 1/4 - 1/2" SAE wrench set in the handle. The finish is heavily tumbled and these stout tools are built to last literally forever.

Plain Titanium Atwrenches will run $75 plus shipping and the link is below. Thank you for coming by today and have a great weekend!

Sold out, thanks again folks!

 

The totally awesome giant 3D printed Atwrench was gifted to me by a long time collector, thank you Joe! :D
