...AND, ANOTHER! THE FIRST OFFICIAL RUN OF THE BOLT-TOGETHERS CAME AND WENT. THEY SOLD OUT WITHIN A COUPLE HOURS. I'LL TRY TO GET TO ANOTHER RUN BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. IN THE MEAN TIME, I'LL DO OCCASIONAL ONE-OFFS LIKE THIS ONE, WHICH IS MADE WITH SAKMAR COPPER/NICKEL-SILVER, "LADDER" MOKUME-GANE. SOME REALLY COOL THINGS HAPPENED WITH THE PATTERN ON THIS ONE. THERE ARE MORE PICTURES OF IT ON EBAY.

I'VE FALLEN A LITTLE BEHIND ON THE PRODUCTION STUFF AGAIN. I RAN INTO ANOTHER MACHINING PROBLEM (ABOUT HALF OF THE NEW "ZEKONAH" SHADERS WERE TRASHED). THE ONES THAT DIDN'T HIT THE SCRAP BIN SHOULD BE ALONG SOON. MORE ACANTHAJONES LINERS AND ACANTHAJONES SHADERS ARE ON THE BENCH, WITH A WHOLE WHACK OF HOOK SHADERS, THE LAST OF THE PORTALS AND MINI-HOOKS. I'VE GOT A TON OF WORKHORSE STUFF CLOSE TO COMPLETION. THEY'LL DEFINITELY MAKE IT IN TIME TO PUT IN YOUR FRIEND'S STOCKING. ZOOLINERS ARE STILL A WAYS OUT. LUCKY'S IS TAKING BACKORDERS, AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE BEST WAY TO BE SURE YOU GET WHAT YOU ARE AFTER.

YOU TUBE PULLED ALL OF THE "TATTOO WARS" STUFF. BUMMER, I GUESS IT'S JUST GOING TO FADE AWAY FOR GOOD.
