Valves for Drysuits We manufacture a pair (inlet and exhaust) of pneumatic valves for incorporation in dry-suits (pressurized (SCUBA) diving suits.) Primarily sold as original equipment they are also available here to the consumer directly. If you are a manufacturer of dry-suits please feel free to call for more information about including our valves in your products.
Neckrings for Drysuits Neckrings are used in conjunction with certain dry-suits to relieve the pressure on the diver's neck when out of the water. We supply quantities for dry-suit manufactures and singles for the consumer. Mid quantities are also available for dive shops. Call, e-mail, or write for more information.
Musical Instruments
24 fret Classic Electric Guitar We produce a top quality solid-body classic guitar. The design incorporates features not found in other instruments, and resolves several problems existing in standard classic guitars. An instrument made for today's modern professional classic guitarist.
PBT and Nylon Drumsticks Drumsticks are occasionaly produced as a custom order. We have an injection mold which produces a 2-B sized stick. We can also mold on a small sphere on one end and thread the other to accept a
larger sphere which we also produce. With the variety of
materials available to make these three parts from being
large in itself, the possible combinations are truely great. Our plain stick is molded of black, glass reienforced nylon (or PBT) and is very heavy, and very loud and we are
not to be held liable for damage to your drums and cymbals. Great sticks for extremists, they boost the punch of older drummers who still play rock and roll.
Drumstick Holders Greg Zagelow is responsible for the design of our (CRABBY) drum-stick holders. They each hold two sticks securely to the side of a drum in just the right place. Drumsticks can be grabbed out of the CRABBY without missing a beat.
Wooden Headjoint for Flute Wooden headjoint made of purpleheart with a cocabolo lip plate and brass connection tube.
New Products
Something is always on the drawing board and (sadly) subject to free time (and money) for development or construction. Of course not everything that is in mind will be shown here (to prevent someone copying an idea before we make it. LOL.) On the other hand, some projects may benefit from an early presentation. We would enjoy teaming up with other manufacturers and businesses on some projects, and interest on the part of the public that's you) could expidite things considerably.
Marble top kitchen island with butcher block side drop leafs.
<<
A raytracing of the kitchen island.
Can you spot the difference(s) between these two images?
(Just for fun, the answer is below in the text.)
This table features a 676 square inch (26 by 26) Carrera marble top one inch thick (cherished by candy makers and chocolatiers) and two drop butcher block leaves. The main body of the table is made of Red Oak. The drop leaves are each inlaid with a 26 by 12 inch butcher block area of alternating (end grain) stripes of rock maple and walnut, ...a full two inches thick to last a lifetime. The difference between the two images resides within the butcher block area where the walnut and maple have been reversed.
Wood was procured through Steve at Rustic Mill. A great guy who bent over backwards to make sure this order was right. He has some super wood especially if you are a looking for walnut and I would like to recommend him: http://www.rusticmill.com
Several patterns have been considered for the butcher block area. The first island built will have thirten two inch wide by twelve inch long stripes of alternating maple and walnut. But thanks to computer graphics here is what the island might look like if made from twenty six one inch wide stripes instead or done in a two inch square checker pattern.
The first model of this table is currently being built and will not be for sale. However, we are accepting reserve orders now, as upon completion of this first table, a limited production run will be scheduled. Our target retail price is $3199 and we will require a (non-refundable) 50% down before construction ...if you want to get on a waiting list.
Many features are to be defined during the making of this first island including the specific hardware for hinges and drawers. An electical outlet and chord are also planned but not shown in the illustration. As with any project, the final product may differ from the initial concept as shown. Among the differences may be the size of the butcher block pieces. We are attempting now to construct this first island with two inch wide pieces which of course must be cut from two inch thick planks instead of one inch as shown. All of this depends upon our suppliers.
We would also enjoy accepting your custom order based upon this plan and using a species of wood to match your decor. The woods to be used in the butcher block should be limited to dense woods and as this is a food preperation surface some woods should be avoided for safty reasons. (Several woods are considered toxic as the sap or sawdust may cause a rash in some people. While these woods may be fine for the majority of the island, we think it best not to use them for the actual butcher block area unless the table is not going to be used for food preperation.)
We are also interested in meeting with distributors who would like to carry this product in their stores. Call and we will discuss pricing, terms, and delivery dates.
If you have a plastic or elastomeric (rubber-like) part which you would like to have prototyped, or produced in volume, contact us. We will be happy to review your needs.
We will hold your ideas in strictest confidence as we examine them. When you are ready, we will provide a quote for desired services, based upon your job.
Often, changes are made to the part design to improve its performance and to reduce the cost of tooling. If you are in the early stages of design, considerable savings may be made by determining these criteria before prototyping. For those who have not designed a plastic part before, becoming acquainted with plastics and moldmaking technology will be of a tremendous value to you as there are major differences in designing with various materials and manufacturing processes.
Begin now with a phone call to us and we will give you a short preliminary consultation at no cost. Afterwards you may wish to send drawings for a formal evaluation, or to put your parts into immediate production.
