Group Buy: Dave22 1" X 1" titanium Swiss symbol
on: April 05, 2009, 05:35:51 AM
Here is a group buy I'm working on. I'm having these 1" X1" titanium Swiss symbols made by my buddy Dave22. Dave is a CNC guru and I'm sure a lot of you guys already know his work. These will be pricey, but they will be oh so cool!  :tu:

Here are the details:

1" X 1"
0.2" thick
.125" hole
D22 engraved on the lower leg



The price will be $45 each which includes shipping and Paypal fees. International shipping will be a little extra. Please post in this thread if you are interested.  :cheers:

*** Mods, I wasn't sure if this was the correct place to post this thread. Please move it if it isn't.  :tu: ***

Thats very nice of you GG. Unfortunately, at that price I'll have to pass. Anyway, imho it would feel and hang better if you did these like .33'' thick (so they're like 5 .33'' cubes put together) and then did the hole going from left to right on that top "cube" as opposed to from front to back. Just my €0.02 (and that's about all I can spare right now... ::))

My idea for these was more for a fob then a necklace. I think they would look awesome on a fob with a vintage alox SAK.  :tu:  I'm checking to see how much cheaper they would be if they were made out of stainless steel.  :think:

Looks like I might have to go to stainless steel on these. They will be around $25 shipped.

Probably not in a charm/fob, other than weight.  The extra strength of titanium probably wouldn't be of any significant benefit, as it is decorative.  Still, the stainless version will probably weigh in at about twice as much as the titanium, so that would be important.

Let me know when these are ready- I can't promise much (broke at the moment) but I am most likely in!

Update: These will only be made in titanium, sorry. :(  The group buy is moving very slow, but we have 14 of the 25 people needed so far. If it gets close enough I'll have to cover the rest. I think these are going to be really nice. I wish I had a picture of the finished product.
