Topic: new stuff from my wrkshp coming & chance 4 custom wrk from Borgsteamfactory. :) - page 3. (Read 4394 times)

video coming tonight. also if any one wants to use paypal to hang onto their bitcoins till the price goes up this month, feel free (I will probably be taking any cash I can and dump it into getting bitcoins or megacoins before this lull ends and the market recovers from the typical yearly febuary crash that happens every year once tax refunds start replenishing peoples funds from all the holiday spending lol.)

lol you dont have to be in to steam punk to get a good use out of a good pair of goggles also these titanium ones would work for diesel punk and atomic punk (that retro 50's look that blends with diesel punk lol)

I guess I should ask, what sort of things and genre's of stuff would you guys be interested in?

You're seriously making me wish i was i to steampunk stuff, it looks sweet. Good job.

lol thanks, that was done about 15 years ago when I was going through an HR Giger phase

and incidentally that was the very first face I did that was straight on and the nose actually looked ok instead of being rubbish shading that just did not work additionally that is a photo copy that I cleaned up with photoshop after scanning it because the guy who bought the original could not find where he lost it to when he moved houses. sad that I let the original graphite on paper go for like 15 bucks back then to pay for something probably music equipment oriented back then, I would love to buy back all the stuff I sold at prices like that now, to just hang onto lol.

the red and green paintings are watercolor on paper stock and I actually still have them even with the mice trying to eat them about 9 or 10 years ago lol. thought about making art cards from scans of them if anyone is interested in a cheap way to collect some art. limited runs? with real signatures on the backs and some info on each items creation? what do you guys think?

awesome and morbid I really like the girl with the worm friend.

I have made rosaries like you see in the movie boondock saints but the iron cross is just a concho design I picked cause the other stuff was to western where I got it to make my collar with. One of these days I will replace it with something custom I am sure, just not today lol

as for other metal work I am working on a custom open air mining case, that I am making custom brackets and rails and what not, for. I have a bender I can make angle bends in any degree up to about 100 degrees (slightly tighter than 90) and all the way down to 1 degree(no point in putting a sheet into it for 180 since that is flat lol) as well as some tools for custom shift bends (where the metal has to be 180º but change level like a mm or two to go over another metal section) but nothing more than hand tools for this so they are still a little rough and hand worked looking, you can see the pics of the work so far here if you like

(yes I am lifting the whole case from the power cables coming from that power supply since it is bolted to the angle in the corner there )


and the bracket design I was talking about with the lift bend to allow it going from one angle level to the next


Understand this is a rough case as it is just being built to get the measurements down to make templates for hole positioning and what not so they line up to allow threading of one metal part to bolt them together with out having to use a ton of nuts, but the screws in it are still long enough to add a nut and washer behind them.

I am considering making small washers from titanium too for things like retaining screws that hold parts together in computer cases, if anyone is interested,

not sure what you are asking. the goggles made of titanium are 200 USD so what ever the going coin value is at the time, which right now would be pretty low, but I expect in a week or two the price is going to rise significantly for all coins on a market, as people come out of the blues brought on by the emotional and economic high they just came off of from the holidays. that and the infusion of fresh money in the form of tax refunds in the US


if you are referring to the other art work in the first post, quote and include the code for the piece so I know what you are interested in

thanks Good thing I did not show any pics of me in my leather top hat

Looks amazing! How much would you ask for such a piece?

Hello, this is my first post about selling for crypto currencies so I will update this post as needed to correct it for any mistakes I may be making in protocol for doing this here, Please let me know if there is anything I need to do to make sure it is correct here.



so as seen on the last post I have posted pics of what I am doing to make an open air mining case, spots for 3 powersupplies motherboard hard drive (possibly a spot for an optical drive under this, will see, though, and up to I believe 7 video card spots on hanging rails that give better support than anything that has been put out that I have seen so far. more pics to come.

ok, so the items I am offering starting right now with this:(these have been sold, and shipped, more to come, have some brass with surgical grade stainless hardware coming shortly and eventually the second and last pair of titanium goggles will be placed here as well, in the mean time I am still open to custom orders and working on developing the most efficient and effective open air case as well. (first one of those has been shipped to my friend who is now giving me feed back on what to change that I might have missed, and I also should soon have some hardware to get more nitty gritty into engineering a specific arrangement to give the maximum protection in all ways to the hardware going into it, not just to protect it from heat.  I have been seeing little by little people are becoming aware that the open air case designs on ebay and else where are not quite up to snuff but it seems most do not have any experience in engineering, so hopefully I can up the ante on that


a pair of titanium rimmed and bodied goggles with mirror brass tint lenses (I can change those out for silver mirror, transparent colors like: red, blue, yellow, grey(black), green, orange or just clear with no color tint,


***this info is still valid on upcoming goggles that will be available here, as is the colors of material I can make lenses from :red, blue, yellow, grey(black), green, orange or just clear with no color tint.

lens are made from either acrylic or lexan and are about 3mm thick (1/8th inch for those of us still on the imperial standard) so they are way way way thicker than the lenses you get on any pair of safety glasses, though due to the vents on the sides and how they are handled I can not guarantee safety with them, that is up to you and how you use them
  they have brass hardware for lubricity on moving points like the temples, and can be folded up neatly for storage, edges of the side shields (the part with the F hole like a violin body has, shaped like a landau bars on a hearse) are protected by rolled brass around them to make a comfortable and safe contact point on the face should they be pressed down on you from something hitting them while say wearing them on your motorcycle. and the nose pads are massive rounded comfortable steel pads that can be (at request) covered in soft leather or soft clear silicone as thick or thin as you like,

additionally each part is held together using screws (4-40 and 2-56) so any part can be replaced should they become damaged. and I will support this indefinitely (been in business for many years and been making these goggles for about 5 years now) so you can order anything from a lens, to a set of screws or nose bridge at any time to replace a part on them, or even order parts and assemble a pair from scratch even.




I can make goggles like this from (*and have been known to) aluminum, stainless, brass and copper as well as titanium.
and can use silver or gold if that is your gig eventually I hope to obtain a good source for niobium and other rare very durable metals, and have a way to anodize color onto the titanium if you desire, though there would be an extra charge for this, mostly for the time, so if you just want basic color over it all, not to bad on cost, but if you want me to use a paint brush and varied voltages to paint a pattern on them, which I can do, then it might be more depending on how long it took me to get it right

I will add some art to show my level of eye hand co-ordination too, so you know what you can expect.

I will add more stuff as time goes on. each item I make is hand made and assembled and all processes are often made by tooling I made my self so if you need custom tooling for leather or metal work feel free to shoot me a message here or on skype say at the user name architct

for payment I would be looking at about 200 dollars for these plus shipping. in btc I would want to get with you and do the transaction fairly quickly for any portion I need to restock so I can get the cash value with out having to over charge you incase of fluctuation in value. I am hoping to be able to start holding any money in btc or alt coins I am collecting that I do not need to operate my business so if you know of anyone selling raw resources that would deal in btc or alt coins, feel free to message me there on that too

so with that all in mind, what I am proposing is that I take either cashable coin or paypal for things like shipping and supplies (in the case of the above goggles I would want say around 5 dollars of it for screws as I will need to reup on those the most quickly, while other materials I can wait a month or more to reup on, and what ever it costs in shipping in one of those two ways, though paypal is the easiest to get a priority label to your destination quickly and mail something in hours to a day at most, as long as you did not contact me late on the end of the week lol then it would be monday morning first thing to ship to you.

I have an ebay account if you want to converse that way and see my feedback rating with customers. and if you see something over there you want to do a transaction using coins you can contact me here to make arrangements


ok so some art work I have done in the past and still have incase anyone is actually interested in obtaining that as well















also if you are still with me, some goggles I have made in the past that I can possibly make a few more of, (materials with the engraving is running low and no source to restock in site) the silver ones are a very heavy plated silver (like it was dipped or something) over brass, and the brass ones are just the same engraving stripped of the silver to reveal the brass under neath. the yellow mirror tinted lenses are the same as the ones on the titanium so you can see the color difference a lot easier here






*the last couple images should put a face to who is behind making all this stuff as that is me being silly with them for the photo shoots, (and no I dont have the means to work with real models, so like everything else I do the work myself )

on coin payments. I can take noble, btc, megacoin, as well as paypal. I will be expanding what coins I can take too, as time goes on, and may have forgotten some coins I am currently collecting.

I know nothing about the escrow services so far but if I did use one, I would add the cost of that to them, and require release of funds to ship before shipping, but they can hold onto the rest till your tracking number shows up and you let them know things are good
