Hey Aolley,
Not sure if this has been answered before, but, is the private key engraving done in-house or by a third party?

New video
https://youtu.be/hYBU5JcrXuY
The video is crap and I must apologize for that, but we did learn the Keyois capsule got to about 5 tons of straight on pressure before the borosilicate cracked and about 7 before the supports and centerpiece collapsed.
The rings were fine. https://imgur.com/a/9Vpp9

For the 14k Yellow Gold centerpiece, is it pure 14k Gold and if so - how many grams/grains of gold is included in the centerpiece?
It's a tube so not solid, the solid ones I found were wound wire and not as straight. for the 14k yellow gold the centerpiece tube itself is 0.71g in weight and it's 14k so the actual gold weight is less still.

Remember everyone, the cheapest option for a fire resistant cold storage is your own stamp kit and a hammer and some metal

Very cool, thanks for looking into it!
As for the website, the link that goes to the unassembled ones from the tritium page ends up at a broken link for me.
Otherwise, looks pretty good from what I've seen so far.

I think the pictures that you have right now are awesome! Each and every one of them , no need to change anything imo.
Got any ideas for future products or will this be a one and only product?

Thanks! I kind of thought they looked fine too but then I tried to put them on a website and looked at them on another computer and they don't look as good, they seem blurry.
The depth and reflectivity are hindrances to a clear picture and I don't have the ability to shoot a video of the depth planes and sync them.
Aside from a second edition of the capsule with silver and tungsten rings, which I have most the supplies for already.
the main other options I've considered are: to sell the ring pairs by themselves; and to set the rings in a epoxy sphere or half sphere, something like this: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0356/8049/files/DandelionCloseup2_large.jpg?1751425697748622878, to try and likely fail to set them in something else like actual glass (so many problems with this idea but I haven't given up)
I didn't really ever expect to be doing anything like this, I really just made this for me because I had problems with my current possible main methods of cold storage and it was cost effective to make more than one.
Got any suggestions?
Is there any ideas for fine gold or fine silver centerpieces in the future? I really like the 14k one, but I'm more of a .9999 kind of guy.
Yes, I'm working on that, but I'll have to sell a few more units first.
Have you contemplated making the top/bottom pieces out of carbon fiber or kevlar? That might be a cool idea for a future version.
I was going to ask this question again and then realized I had asked it prior. They would definitely be neat pieces and could come in different fiber colors.
Honestly I'd not even considered it. I'll have to look into it and do some research!
Also everyone I've created a website for these capsules:keyois.com
This is my first time making a website or anything like that before so I don't have any idea what I'm doing or what looks good, so any criticism is appreciated. Thanks!

The extremely clear reflection (lots of background detail) does take away from the product in some shots to where the user could be diving into the reflection instead of admiring the item itself.
To improve you could use a light tent with a soft lighting setup. I think the pictures look fine but if you are looking for a different "style" you could definitely get the glare down while preserving the quality of the item.

Trying to figure out how to take better photos, anyone got any suggestions? It's kind of tricky, being all reflective and with the glass and having some dimension.

Hmmm? Did I misunderstand you in your pm? Are those glowing ones in your newest pictures made with tritium?
Or what makes them glow in the dark?
Quote
Tritium is a radioactive form of hydrogen, used in research, fusion reactors and neutron generators. The radioactive properties of tritium are very useful. By mixing tritium with a chemical that emits light in the presence of radiation, a phosphor, a continuous light source is made.
Although not for sale for what seems like nonsense legal reasons, the vials are very safe. Unless you were to break them apart and immeditally inhale the vapor or chew it and swallow it I can't see any way it could be dangerous to you.

Sneak peak of the second edition capsule end pieces
Plus+
I filled a capsule with areogel granules for fun
On the main post I've added a link to all the photos, and there are many of them.

the amount of tritium in a small glow rod is negligible - there are many other items in your house that emit more radiation (such as a smoke alarm, or radon gas)
