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.

A new pen 🖊️ project emerges!

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.”

Will keep an eye out! 🔪

Link us up when it’s out! Would love to hear it.

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.

It was super fun! Thanks for hosting.

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?

Ha! Yes! It is def a modern version of the “Barack Obama is your new bicycle” meme.

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

These are titanium coins, done with two different anodizing techniques: one for the black, and one for all the other colors. The ability to anodize like this is a pretty magical quality that titanium shares with niobium and zirconium (maybe more?). But other metals can’t do the same thing.

and, the coolest coins anyone could dream of:

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

DUDE! Has anyone in the history of ever had a cooler knife than this, by @shawnr.bsky.social? I think not. Can't imagine how it's possible, especially since I'm holding it in my hands now--surely gonna cut myself with it soon, knowing me. Check the first reply here for the coins. Amazing work.

I’m so flattered! It’s really the least I could do after you gave us BHH. It is a spectacular novel, and lends itself well to the fan art.

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"?!?
