"LANYARD FOB PROTO"
Posted on 08:41 by Unknown

I made this little Aluminum diamond shaped piece a while back and it just kept calling to me to do something with it. So after seeing all the great and varied lanyard beads available it came to me. I added two holes in the side to accept Para Cord, polished it up and tied it to one of my Encapsulators using Matthew Walker knots. I think it's cool looking as well as utilitarian. Also in the picture is one of my Red Brass Triple...

"SLGV* LANTERN PROTOTYPE"
Posted on 17:23 by Unknown

Here we have a prototype Lantern. I used a 3mm x 22.5 long "SELF LIGHTING GLASS VIAL". The lantern body is .3125 Brass hexagon stock 1.250 long. I still have to fill the slots with clear epoxy to protect the vial. I'm not sure if this will be a production piece or not, so lets see if you folks are interested. As of now I don't have a price point, I may change the design somewhat too.Have a Happy Halloween, K...

"MICRO BIT TWIST, SECOND EDITION"
Posted on 16:53 by Unknown
Hey kids, Here is the updated version of the MICRO BIT TWIST. Made from 316 series stainless steel the physical dimensions are .365 thick by .650 high (not including the bit) and .618 over the .3125 radii, with a .250 hex milled .350 deep. The difference between this one and the first four pieces is the hex is now offset to allow more leverage, and I opted for a #8-32 ss socket set screw instead of the #6-32. I had thought of...

Please note that when the blade is in the closed position all you will see is the outside profile of the case. In case you're wondering I'm going to use a ball...

This one is cool, I can't take credit for the design though(saw it somewhere on the web).It is made from a solid piece of 1" square plexiglass. All six sides have a 3/4 diameter circle milled into them so that it becomes two pieces with the center captivated by the outer square.I also modified one of my "Cubes" to make a neat little stand for it.
