Hello pen modders! I have another Namisu N2. These pens are very sharp looking and they are great for customizing. The goal of this one was a refined executive look with cobalt blue and some orange peel texture. I think it worked out. What do you say?

The third batch of pens from @drocketdesign.bsky.social are these satin titanium edc pocket pens. They are ballpoint twist pens. Once again I tried a bunch of different styles. I’m very happy with how they came out.

Here is a clip of those D Rocket Design Oval v3 bolt action pens made from crystallized titanium. The clips really bring the pen together… 🤣 what do you think?

More D Rocket Design pens! These are Oval v3 bolt action pens made from crystallized titanium. Super fun to work with. I’m very happy with the results. What do you think?

After finishing a full batch of ten pens I put together this little edit that shows some of the process behind a few of them. This is a group of D Rocket Supressor Ti Bolt-Action Pens.

I anodized another set of titanium pens from D Rocket Design.

This is an all-titanium fixed blade knife called a HangTi by CRKT. I flamed the blade and textured the handle. Pretty happy with how it came out. What do you think?

Another fancy #pen. I feel like this one is a bit more refined and staid. Do you think? (This is anodized titanium.)

I anodized another fancy pen. This is a titanium ball point from D Rocket Design. It was plain satin titanium when I got it. I think I like it better this way. What do you think? #edc #edcpen #anodized #titanium

I anodized another fancy titanium fountain pen. This one was cheaper to start but came out looking just as good! 💪 💎

Here is a fancy fountain pen.

This is a custom knife mod with a Neuromancer cyberpunk theme. It is a Civivi Elementum 2 with titanium scales and a nitro-v blade. Black ano, then rainbow circuit ano, plus a couple blade etchings. A little rough but that just adds to the character!

I am so excited about how good this latest knife mod came out. It is a CJRB Pyrite themed to go with the Children of Time series by @aptshadow.bsky.social I anodized species icons on the scales with super color shifty fx. Blade etchings of the Portiid and, of course, “We’re going on an adventure.”

I anodized a set of really cool Oval 3 pens from D Rocket Design. They are crystal titanium, which is insanely cool looking. D Rocket is auctioning these off today at Noon Pacific time. Auction link: www.whatnot.com/live/db6e4e6...

A CJRB Pyrite customized with sparkle effect and high voltage green. The colors on this are incredible! So much fun trying new techniques.

I’ve been making more copper token spinners. I’m using some traditional designs and having a ton of fun making custom patterns. These three showcase three totally different patinas, too. Do you have ideas for future spinners? Is there one you need in your pocket?

Tried some brass coins again and got much better results than last time! Here is a Done Right x Done Quick and a Sun x Moon. What do you think?

A copper spinner I etched and patina’d with an HP Lovecraft #cthulu theme. This was fun and came out well, I think. #metalart #copper #edc #edcspinner #eldritch #horror

Sticking with the #copper theme: here is a forced patina on a token where I texturized one side. I love the marbled look on the smooth side, and the texture is satisfying. #copperdrip #edc #edccoin #patina #metalart

Another copper coin with a lot of fine details. I will thicken up the lines on the portrait of Athena. This is another #edc #decisioncoin #metalart #copperdrip

I made a Zelda themed copper coin on request. I’m very happy with how all the small details came out. #edccoin #zelda #fanart #copper #copperdrip

How did ChatGPT get so sassy? (From a friend, I can't take credit for this amazing thread discussing the anatomical resemblance of AI company logos.) "thicc boys"?!?

Super excited for the Murderbot series based on the books by @marthawells.com on AppleTV. I just finished by third re-read of the whole book series to prep for the show. There is not a more comforting storyline or character today than Murderbot and its friends. So I had to make a fan t-shirt! IYKYK

Anodized titanium finger brace! So happy to have this very cool brace to help with my trigger finger.
