Our lastest custom project. Hartwell Motor Speedway commissioned us to upgrade their driver starting order selector. Like a wheel of fortune for the race track. We did it the only way we know how. Completely awesome!

Having never built anything of the sort, this thing came out amazing and beyond expectations! We appreciate the bandwidth they gave us to experiment and let our imaginations go to work on this one.

Everything you see, minus the hardware, was manufactured from scratch with just a few customer parameters and a lot of hours of work.

A vast improvement for sure. Video to come in another post.

New toy day at the shop. Adding a 150 watt laser cutter / engraver to the mix to further enhance our capabilities. Exciting time! Lots of cool new projects to come.

We're just showing off now....

Making the seemingly impossible come to reality. Parts that very few will quote or even attempt. Below you'll see the two most intricate pieces we have ever made. From a solid slug of titanium to the finish product is absolutely incredible and has pushed us into territory we never thought we'd be. I'm soo proud of our crew. Shining like LED bulbs in a sea of incandescents. 💪🤌😎

Our customer has been asking us to try this prototype for a while. After a lot of back and forth, program modifications and a lot of unknowns....well it didn't disintegrate! It's actually incredibly rigid. We look to incorporate this skeleton design in some more patterns coming soon. It's pretty awesome!

We're always pushing the limits. We try, we fail, we try again. Tenacity is in our DNA.

We got the privilege of making some signs for an upcoming GON event. They turned out fantastic!

A special thanks to Kaylin Grove for the outstanding paint job.

The crew doing what they do best... excellence on every project.

We just finished up an absolutely incredible batch of Mokume for our good customer. These patterns in this material is complete awesomeness. This is by far the most beautiful batch to date.

New machine day! New to us anyway. We are expanding our capacity to meet demand. This will make a great addition to the shop and our capabilities.

We got a visit from the man himself, Mr. Q3D, for a few days to go over some new projects, patterns, and getting feeds and speeds on zirconium dialed in to absolute mint. There will be some exciting new things coming out in the next few months. Stay tuned.
