RED BRASS TRIPLE CUBES

Just finished a  batch of Red Brass Triple Cubes. Made From 1 inch square stock finished to .900 X .900 X .900 these are heftier than the aluminum ones posted below. I include a small split ring for use as a key fob, zipper pull or what have you. 

UNTITLED PROTOTYPE KNIFE

Here is a picture of a rough prototype. The case is made of 303 SS and the blade is A6.  Now that I have something tangible,  I can see things I like and some I'd like to change, but this is the general idea. As of now the physical dimensions are 1.750 O.D. X .300 thick. 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 detent for a blade stop. 

"Encapsulator XL"

  Here is a large version of the "Encapsulator". Physical dimensions are 1.00" O.D. X 3.625" long, .600"  I.D. X  2.430" inside length. The ends have a .375 "  radius with a 45 degree angle to blend in to the 1.00" O.D. the threads are 7/8-28. This is a substantial piece and I'm very pleased with the finished product. 

GUITARS

Yes, guitars. Check these out, the bodies on these are Lucite & Aluminum. They were a lot of fun to do. How do they sound? well they both sound great. The Aluminum one resonates so good you can pluck a note, come back tomorrow & it'll still be ringing.... well almost. I used Carvin electrics and necks on both. These are mine personally and are not for sale...sorry.

CRIBBAGE BOARD

This is a cribbage board , made from 6061-t6 aluminum with brass pegs. Yeah it's hefty but hey you only move from the shelf to the table right? 

Over the years I've made a bunch of these mostly for wedding gifts. I even gave them to the ushers at my own wedding. I am not currently making any of these, but who knows I might do a  few more sometime.

"Encapsulator"

This is the "Encapsulator" made from 6061-t6 aluminum. The outer dimensions are 2 inches long x 3/4 diameter. Inner dimensions are 1 3/4 long x 13/32 diameter. The threads are a  17/32-32 pitch with an "O" ring for a weather tight seal. Put in spare cash, meds, matches or whatever you like that fits :)                              
                     

"Porto Span"

Here we have a tool for adjusting the pivot pin on a Strider knife. It is made from 316 series stainless steel and features both the spanner for the large Strider knives (NOT FOR THE PT MODEL) as well as an 1/8 hex wrench. The two halves screw together using a 1/4-28 thread with an "O" ring at the bottom of the thread to keep debris out. Dimensions are 3/8 thick x 5/8 wide x 1 &  3/8 long.

                                       ATTENTION PLEASE:

If  you have not adjusted the pivot pin on your Strider knife before, I suggest that you hold the end of the knife with the pivot pin in very hot if not boiling water for a minute to loosen any thread lock (Loctite) that the good folks at Strider may have applied.

"Plexi Cube"

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. None available I only made this one.

Plain "Cube"

Here is another "Cube" it is the same as the one the one below but with a tumbled finish instead of anodize.

Gold Anodized Triple cube

This one is the "Triple Cube" a cube inside a cube inside a cube. made from 1" square aluminum stock then gold anodized. I include a small split ring that can be attached so it can be used as a key fob or zipper pull.
                                                !! No longer Avaiable!!
               

"The Cube"

This is "The Cube" made from 1" square aluminum stock and then black hard coat anodized. Is a ball with four square satellites and thru holes. One cube is drilled thru to accept a small split ring for use as a key fob, zipper pull or what have you. This was my first for sale item. 

Aluminum Puzzle

Here is a picture of a puzzle I made from 6061-T6 aluminum. Each leg is 1/4 x 1/2 x 2" long. Stone media tumbled for a nice smooth finish.
