Not this next batch. This time I'm going to have titanium and damascus. A lot of people have been asking for damascus.

Cool, hoping to get in on them.

I am interested to know too.
Hope I can get in on a run of thos.

I like those boxes, well made. Being a former pro cabinet maker (if there is such a thing) I would prefer a sliding dovetail to the thin tab & slot that might break over time. But then I tend to over-engineer.
It certainly adds a level of class to the package.

How about for past purchasers? That's a sweet box.

Yeah, I'll try to get some pictures up soon. I've got the bar turned down, and I'll be doing a trial etch soon to see how the pattern looks.

Yes, I'll be adding them up on my web site, so you'll be able to pick one up there.

Wondering if you decided how the lottery for damascus will work. Any thought to leaving the knurls off the damascus for a cleaner look, as the damascus is already busy looking?

I haven't decided exactly how the lottery will work. I was thinking maybe I'd have a lottery "ticket" available in my store for some small sum (maybe $5 or $10). They'd be refundable if you don't win, but you could keep your ticket for the next drawing. Drawings would be biased towards older tickets. I'm not entirely sure though. Do you have any suggestions?

Yeah, I agree about the knurling. The damascus lights won't be knurled.

Sorry about that. I switched the email address on my account over, and I didn't realize I needed to reactivate my account. I did get your email, and it'll go out first thing tomorrow morning.

Viva La Peppermint stick!

 

[Ladd]

Looks like it might be tricky to machine. Good Luck!

 

[Exeter354]

That is one sweet looking peppermint stick! The transformation is amazing!!!

 

[CMAG]

And the boxes have arrived. They're awesome, really.

:twothumbs Very cool, look's like an old school micrometer box.

So how's the next batch coming along?

So far all the pills are finished, and as of yesterday I've got a through coolant working on some new carbide drills. I have a few more small things to dial, but I should be running the titanium bodies in the next few days.
