I Know What You're Thinking...
"But Peter, what about us lefties?" Well fear not my Southpaw brothers and sisters...I saved the last three titanium Prybabies for you.
Hey, what about that Eye Candy?
I know it doesn't seem like I'm listening sometimes but I am. Honest! Hehe, here's a few goodies for ya...also, literally about two tons of stuff is coming over the next week or two so stick around. Something tells me it's gonna be a fun few weeks ahead. :)

The Knurl's the Thing
Finally! Got the first 30 diamond knurl whistles turned this morning and got them finished up this afternoon. I spent several hours with the CNC shop yesterday and again today tweaking the darned things. It was time well spent though because we dialed in the knurl nicely in the end. What a tough one though, what with some tooling breaking and endless other little complexities that came up. Thank God I'm not a serious machinist and just play one on television! :)

I'm Getting There!
Patience please! :) LOL, I've been in and out of the shop a bunch this last week but I'm getting myself back into a production mindset. I think this week will see a fair amount of activity.
I'm slowly working my way through a huge pile of Son of PryThings and hope to get them done in the next week and get them into heat treat.
The machine shop that I work with is being a pain so the diamond knurl whistles are still in limbo. I was told "tomorrow" every day last week and am frankly disgusted with their service. Hang in there though, supposedly this week I will be seeing some pieces to finish and assemble. We'll see...at the end of the run they will be turning some damascus too...
Other projects that are on deck and are set to start grinding include Mini Keytons, new and improved Mini Prybabies, Bug Out Bars and a few others.
There will be a couple of misc. pieces coming out this week as well if all goes according to plan.
