Oh boy oh boy oh boy!
Thank you all for your suggestions! The amount of creativity, humour and thoughtfulness that has gone into these is simply staggering and humbling Having said that, notwithstanding the general brilliant quality and despite having gone through them several times both forwards and backwards, unfortunately I have not found a suggestion which I was tempted to adopt immediately and without modification.However, I do appreciate all of your suggestions. Over the next few days, I will go through them again - this should allow me to zero in on the contribution that provides the best basis for the new name.I will solemnly pledge to endeavour to announce both said new name, and the forum member authoring the contribution that gave rise to it (aka the winner of this GAW), at or around the beginning of next week. Stay tuned! The submissions portal is now closed.

My suggestion, following the 'Handyman', 'Engineer' kind of naming scheme.The Builder.OR the Blue Builder.Or the Big, bodacious, beautiful, blue builder of bonafide bass-a$$ness.
You've got all the tools of an older Ranger, pre-backside tools. You add components of the Explorer and the pliers. Alox scales. Pliers are useful for metal work. Rangers are also scouts, explorers. Blue scales, could be a nod to the blue of the forge's flame and/or to blued steel. HEAVY METAL RANGER.
Congratulations to the winners and wisely chosen [It's not failure if you learn something from it]
So...Alox Cobalt Deluxe Constructor(The abbreviation, as you may have noticed, is a nod to hard rock of the antipodean variety )
Hmmhhh. I wasn't actually planning a production line... also, it's all manual (OK, lathe assisted) and takes a fair bit of time... maybe when I retire, in a decade or so...
Lynn, ironraven, I need you to PM me your addresses for these little boxes! Or what's in it, rather (Image removed from quote.)
