Perforated Prybaby

[Gadget Guy]

Peter, please bring brack the perforated Prybaby! It is a must have for my collection and I won't take no for an answer!! Please... :lol

[LowWorm]

Is that a clip on that Prybaby? I want a clip!!!! :D

Sorry so hysterical, I need to compose myself.... :relax:

(I also want one of these Prybabies :( ... curse you, gadget guy!) Do you still do clips, Peter?

[Deaths Head]

Greetings Lowworm!

Great pic. I didn't even know they made those. I need one now too. I am willing to pay extra to Peter if he is willing to make them. Titanium would be my first choice in metal.

Stay sharp!
DH

[Peter Atwood]

Maybe if you all are veeeeeeerry good......and if I ever get time I'll look into doing a run of these. I really need to invest in a Tapmatic for those threaded holes.

[scríbhneoir]

Okay, this may be a ignorant question--and it won't be my first one--but I was curious about all the holes. They look marvelous, but does their presence compromise the strength of the tool, or do you compensate for them by using a different thickness, material, etc.? Should I just leave now? :bolt:

[Gadget Guy]

Peter, I think Deaths Head should pay extra for all of us! My first choice would be steel, as I think the titanium would be way too light with the holes. How much is the tap gizmo? Maybe you could start a fund because you know we are all going to want one. As far as function goes, I think it will just be a lighter version of the Prybaby with a fantastic look! Of course if you do make a titanium version I will want one too!! :knuppel2:

One vote for "Invest!" :dance:

Actually, if you did that, my bank account would go into cardiac arrest. Maybe just close down your shop, Peter, and save yourself the stress of meeting the avalanche of wish lists that come your way every time someone posts a new pic of your stuff. :uglystupid2:

To each his own! ;D One of each. Titanium and S30V!
Thanks Peter!

[In_Flux]

Me too, me too!!! :D

[Malcontent]

Good is my middle name.. :-X
Titanium would be my first choice, but I would take what I could get.
That is nice.

I am going broke between here and CPF. I will have to be handing out carts at Wallyworld when I am 90!

[heathah]

A Hol(e)y Prybaby! Sweet. ;D

[micko]

Peter that is beautiful, I need one too,How about blue anodised?. ;D

[pipedreams]

That is too sweet...

todd

[lefthandedwriter]

Peter...what ever you do DO NOT put a clip like that on a BugOut Blade. The temptation is hard enough to resist as it is.

[Deaths Head]

That's it, its final Peter. You can't let EDC down! :lol :lol :lol

[Peter Atwood]

I will do them someday..... I promise! ;) I'll start saving my pennies for the Tapmatic now. They run about $400 so they ain't cheap.

[micko]

Peter,excuse my ignorance but what dose a Tapmatic do? :help: will one fit on my key ring and is it made of titanium ;D

[Peter Atwood]

A Tapmatic is a thread tapping accessory that attaches to a mill or drill press. They work very well for quickly tapping holes without breaking delicate taps. There are several makers of these devices but Tapmatic seems to be the industry leader. I haven't personally tried one but I hear that they are just wonderful to use.

[Gadget Guy]

Peter, Put me down for $100 toward the tapmatic. All we need is 3 more people and it's yours. Maybe you could give a small discount to the people who put in the other $300. I am that serious about wanting a perforated Prybaby! :crazy2:

[stillphoto]

Nice idea gadget guy...I could probably thrown in $75-maybe $100 towards the tapmatic as well. It's just too good looking of a piece to turn down. Maybe if we got it for Peter, and he decided to make the perf.babys, we could come up with some special run of them for the "tapmatic investors," some strange finish or something...numbered of course* :idiot2:* :buck2:

[Deaths Head]

Put me down for $50. O0

[xDANx]

My God, That is the coolest thing I have ever seen. Oh, and put me down for $25.

[Deaths Head]

When Peter gets his Tapmatic, I'm sure he could many perforated items. Hopefully.:dance: :dance: :dance:

[dajak]

Hi all,

Peter, perhaps it is a good idea to make a batch of perforated EDC forum prybaby,s with the pocket clip?????
Like a lot of forums who have their own knife or something, a Prybaby would fot the bill, WHO IS WITH ME??????

Peter, let me be the first to donate you $10,- for a tapmatic, what do you say?

Come on people, who else would like a genuine EDC forums Prybaby?

Roelof.

[Deaths Head]

Well, we're up to $260. O0 I don't even think Peter knows yet! :whee: :whee: :whee:

[dajak]

Well, we're up to $260. O0* I don't even think Peter knows yet! :whee: :whee: :whee:


:uglystupid2: :uglystupid2:, stupid me, I didnt bother to read all the reply,s because I was so excited.
Aaah well, lets hope we will get there.
I didnt know that there already were people who were donating* :idiot2:

Perhaps an area 51 grind would look nice to.

[Serigrapher83]

Put me down for $25. I know what it's like to need equipment and not have the cash. When the time comes, someone let me know where to send the $$$.

[lefthandedwriter]

What the heck...it's for a good cause.

Put me down for $30

Danny

[stillphoto]

Looks like we're upto $340 already (I decided I'd definitely be in for a 1/4 share of it). Peter won't even know what hit him...First he says maaaaybe, goes to bed, wakes up to people offering to buy him what he needs to do the job... :angel: :D :crazy2: :agree:*

So that means by tonight we should have shipping covered as well lol. ETA on PerfBabies/HolyPrybabies 3 weeks? KIDDING!!! :bomb: :knuppel2:

[pipedreams]

I'm in for $35.

todd

[Malcontent]

I will add the $25 left. This should make the $400, if my math is right.

[deeker]

And we've decided on a run of EDC-Forum PryBabies for him, too. We're so accommodating! 8) :-[

[Peter Atwood]

Good grief! ;D

The Tapmatic tool is only for threading the two holes for the clip. :)

Don't worry folks, it is on the schedule for later this year. I have a lot of things going right now but I will definitely be doing these over the summer.

[Gadget Guy]

Peter, if it will get us a perforated Prybaby sooner, we are willing to pay! Just remember that I am your best customer... :laugh:

[Colby]

Tapmatic? Why Peter why do want one of those?! Those are only used on folders.

[stillphoto]

The tapmatic would be used to tap the threads in the two holes for the clip...the other holes could be accomplished on a press in a pretty standard fashion I'd assume.

[micko]

Tapmatic? Why Peter why do want one of those?! Those are only used on folders.

Sounds good to me I need a nice folder. :dance:

[Peter Atwood]

Mmmmm, folders. ;D

[Gadget Guy]

No folders Peter, not till my stuff is done! Also, think perforated Prybaby... I don't even need a clip on mine ;D ;D ;D

[SRMC]

Mmmmm, folders. ;D


Repeat after me. . . Bee Sting . . . Bee Sting . . . Bee Sting . . .

SRMC

[xDANx]

Peter,
When they are available, How much is the estimated cost?

PS: If donating money will help the perforated prybaby be available sooner, say the word and I will donate.

[Peter Atwood]

You're right John. I better get your stuff done before I think about folders...luckily since you are my best customer and always have something on order I won't have time to fuss with folders for a while! LOL... ;D :P

[micko]

sorry off topic but............

If you ever make any more bee sting folders put me top of the list!.

[Gadget Guy]

I'll take a Bee sting folder as well... :knuppel2:

[Gadget Guy]

I will do them someday..... I promise!* ;) I'll start saving my pennies for the Tapmatic now. They run about $400 so they ain't cheap.


Were still waiting Peter! :laugh:

[Deaths Head]

Were still waiting Peter! :laugh:

Yup, GG and I are still talking about this one!!!

[CanDo]

Well I need a belt sander :lol :laugh: :P!

Why if rallying people is this easy, world domination will be easier than I thought.
Seriously now, that is one sweet prybaby. I don't have any $$, but if I did, I'd like it without the pocket clip.

[Jumpmaster]

Are y'all going to buy the matching ring to go with it? It's Ti (of course)...:)

[Deaths Head]

Nice looking ring. Reminds me of craters on the moon.

[Jumpmaster]

Nice looking ring.* Reminds me of craters on the moon.


Yeah...the name of it is the "Luna"... ;D (Really!)

Looks a lot like the perforated PB...:)

JM-99

[Deaths Head]

"Luna", good name for the ring. Luna prybaby. O0 I wish we had more tools with clips.

[dinoadventures]

Holy hole-in-a-prybaby, Batman!

I must have one of these. I'll kick in towards the Tapmatic if it expedites their manufacture.

Mini Perforated Ti-baby w/clip, please!

(Non-mini is okay too. Just felt I should get two birds with one stone.)

[Gadget Guy]

I'm holding Peter to "Sometime this summer"! :laugh: Perforated Ti Mini... I don't think I could take it, too cool!

GG

[stillphoto]

Seriously GG...and personally, having a clip on it instead of a bit o paracord would most likely double my carrying it. So much easier to have it clipped to a pocket ready to go. :-X

[Peter Atwood]

Well, that gives me until Sept 14th.... :P :laugh:

[flashlight]

What we really need is to clone Peter so that he/they can make all these damn things you guys keep demanding for! :-X :lolhammer:

[Badgerboy]

But then who's work would you collect? Peter's or Cloned Peter ? What am I saying....I know the correct answer...BOTH !! :laugh:

Cliff

[Gadget Guy]

Well, that gives me until Sept 14th....* :P :laugh:


I can wait if I know it's coming! :-X :laugh:

GG

[deeker]

How about seeing a photoshopped rendition of this perf'ed Prybaby?

[dinoadventures]

How about seeing a photoshopped rendition of this perf'ed Prybaby?




there's a real-life version on the first page. in fact, it starts off the thread.

[stillphoto]

Well Sept. 14th is a week after my birthday(6th), so I can wait that long, sorta like already knowing whats under the wrapping paper, except it will be a shipping envelope lol..

[LowWorm]

September 14...would this be a good date to highlight on the EDCF calendar? <nudge, wink>

[Gadget Guy]

September 14...would this be a good date to highlight on the EDCF calendar? <nudge, wink>


If I see mine before the 14th, then i'll give Peter a bonus! ;D :D :P

[stillphoto]

ahem...like the above post said...birthday would be the 6th incase you need to practice drilling all those holes..
:D :P :D

[Gadget Guy]

Peter, if you get mine done by the 6th, then Stillphoto will get $10 off his paid by me. How can you turn down a Birthday wish? :( :D :laugh:

[Deaths Head]

Ti Mini! Ti Mini! Ti Mini! ;D

[Gadget Guy]

EH,* :topic: Oops... DH!

[riprater]

Peter, the 14th is just hours away........ :-X Can't tell I have been watching this thread :lolhammer:

[Gadget Guy]

That's right Peter... We have been waiting, now where is it! >:D :laugh:

[Peter Atwood]

That Clone Peter...the darned guy is SO unreliable. These could have been done by now if only CP had stayed on the job. Unfortunately he's easily distracted... ;D :P

[Malcontent]

CP gets distracted by bright and shinny, sharp and pointy objects? Sounds like he is one of us. :laugh:

[Badgerboy]

That's all right, I'm willing to wait a little longer for my perforated Ti-Baby. Notice I've changed it into a Ti - Baby........think he'll catch on???

Cliff

[stillphoto]

As much as I'd love a ti perforated prybaby, I'll take it in what ever metal he decides on...And yes Peter (or Clone for that matter) I will buy this thing immediately, no waffling!

[Gadget Guy]

That Clone Peter...the darned guy is SO unreliable. These could have been done by now if only CP had stayed on the job. Unfortunately he's easily distracted... ;D :P*


If we had a "Clone Peter", wouldn't we get them done twice as fast? :P :laugh:

[Badgerboy]

Hmmmmmm....what could you do with a cloned Peter ? ;D

Cliff

[loveit]

These perforated prybabies are nice... thanks you all for now making me want yet again something new! I'm not sure about the cloned Peter, though. I think I'll stick with the original.

[Deaths Head]

Peter posted at another thread. Think he's avoiding this one? ;)

[dyyys1]

Peter,

When you first started making this stuff did you have any idea the demand would be this high for your products? Just be glad that most people on the forum don't live within reasonable distance of your house, because otherwise they would be picketing outside.

[dinoadventures]

I'm fine with the five-something hours I'm located from peter. Five bucks shipping beats two tanks gas plus sales tax any day.

[Deaths Head]

We should all PM Peter at the same time. :)

[dinoadventures]

Good idea, Paul!

Demand begets supply? I mean, what part of our offer to buy the Tapmatic was unclear?

Mini perforated ti-baby, with clip.

[Deaths Head]

Mini perforated ti-baby, with clip.

Oh yeah! O0

[stillphoto]

Quick, someone go mangle their prybaby with a drill press and show Peter! :lolhammer:

[holst035]

I want to drill a hole in my S30V prybaby, to fill it with glowpowder/epoxy. Will this be a pain with normal tools?

Marthijn

[holst035]

Tried it on a key today, works well as far as I can see.

Marthijn

[pipedreams]

Heat treated S30V will be SIGNIFICANTLY harder to drill than a key. You'll need a cobalt drill bit and a SLOW drill. If you got too fast and overheat, it can actually harden the area you are trying to drill. You need to be careful, as the bits are brittle. Clamp your material to be drilled down very tight. WEAR EYE PROTECTION!

You MIGHT get a hole or two from a new Ti coated bit, but don't expect much.

Holes are typically drilled in the steel before the heat treat, in the annealed state.

todd

[holst035]

Ouch,

I was afraid I would get an answer like this. But loud and clear, it is a bad plan.

Shame I would have liked it but I don't see much use for it to be honest.

Marthijn

[stillphoto]

I just figure if we show Peter some prybaby carnage...some that have unwillingly died before their time, by our blunt hands...that maybe he will spring into action...Because after all, we know all he's doing is staring at the trees waiting for the leaves to change(all he makes are prybabies right? lol).

:juggle: :whip: :clap:

I bet a Marmo Dashi (http://edcforums.com/index.php?topic=3526.msg42573#msg42573) could make us a perforated Prybaby with its bare teeth... :knuppel2:

The P.B. with a clip would be one Atwood item that, as much as I wish I could, I would not be able to resist.

[meeshi_ma]

Perforated Ti Prybaby XL with clip. Oh yeah!
Man is this thread old.

Don't worry folks, it is on the schedule for later this year. I have a lot of things going right now but I will definitely be doing these over the summer.


any time soon this should be first up on the schedule ;D

[Peter Atwood]

It's still not clear when I will get to these. Too many distractions right now! But I'm hopeful that I will get to them at some point once I work out a few details such as the fasteners for the clips. Not going to tap anything if I can help it. :( :green:

[Gadget Guy]

I would really like one without a clip. Any thoughts on doing a mini? You are the man Peter!* :notworthy:

[Deaths Head]

I'm sure Peter is talking about a perforated Ti Mini Prybaby XL with clip. *Woohoo!

[Peter Atwood]

I am? (stares blankly) Oh, right, yeah that's it. :P ;D

[stillphoto]

Well I think Chuck Norris was talking about wanting a regular perforated prybaby with a clip...Laughed about the mini's said he was man enough for the full size... :lolhammer: :-X :laugh:

[Badgerboy]

I'm surprised that Chuck is waiting for Peter, can't he use his incisors to perforate a regular prybaby ? :-X

Cliff

[Wasz]

Wow that thing sure is sweet. Add one to the order. :)

[carrot]

First thing I thought when I saw this was... "Swiss Cheese Prybaby"

The pocket clip is sweet!

[ousanas]

bump cuz I still want one and haven't seen them come available yet. :)

[loveit]

I think the perforated prybaby is on everyone's wish list here! I'd love one! :smitten:

[Deaths Head]

It's been more than 6 months on this request. *I don't mind requesting some more. :)
Titanium, Perforated, Mini, XL with a clip. *That is the Holy Grail of Prybabyes!

[dinoadventures]

i'll take mine same as paul's but without the XL

[loveit]

My question... does one of these really exist? Or, was it just someone's imagination and photoshop skills? * :shrug:

[Gadget Guy]

Oh yes, It was a Peter one off and it is awesome! I missed it by about 10 minuets or something when it was up for sale. :( My only hope is that I can get a mini someday soon!

[Gadget Guy]

Good grief!* ;D

No rush Peter!* :-X ;D Still have time this year....* :laugh:

[ousanas]

I love bumping this thread cuz it always brings up a flurry of posts, especially from GG and DH....

I'll take a TI, mini, XL or no. perf with ti clip... maybe a tritium insert as well :)

[Gadget Guy]

How about a tritium insert too? We can dream can't we! ;D

[ousanas]

that's what I'm saying... he did some GID stuff, let's go all out while we are dreaming and add tritium. put one in on both side just above where the clip attaches

[kibitz]

I feel for Peter. It must be very frustrating for him to have this many loyal fans waiting for so many special orders...not to mention all of the dealers that are always after him for inventory. I guess that is what makes his stuff so special when we do finally get one of his packages in the mail.

[Gadget Guy]

I wish Peter could hire a assistant that could make all the basic stock, that way Peter could focus on special requests. Well... I can dream can't I! ;D

[kibitz]

How about an EDC Atwood intern program ? We could volunteer weekends with him and do the grunt work. Think my wife would understand if I elected to spend my vacation this year in a metal shop?

[loveit]

If I'd live closer, I'd be willing to help! My hubby might get jealous, though, of my time with Peter. ;D

[Peter Atwood]

Your husband and my wife both! :P :laugh:

This is one of those projects that is on the back burner. I hope to get to them eventually but now is just not the time. :green:

[stillphoto]

Yeah I can imagine the amount of work per perf'd prybaby exceeds the work of most of your other items...and tis the season..Shy of the perfbaby, which item is the most time consuming? (etch times not counted of course)

[loveit]

I can answer for Peter: Any item he sells to me! I ding dong him with question after question on e-mail! It's my fault that perfbaby isn't here yet!!!

:blah:

[TKC]

Oooooh, I really like the perforated PryBaby!! That is sweet! Did you add the clip yourself GG? I like that too.

[Gadget Guy]

TKC, I only wish it was mine! ;D I only have a picture of it. :( It came with the clip and to my knowledge, Peter only made one of them. A very nice piece.....

[Peter Atwood]

If I'm not mistaken I think Fozzy has it. It only lasted about 10 minutes on my site. :)

[loveit]

If I'm not mistaken I think Fozzy has it. It only lasted about 10 minutes on my site. :)


I bet Fozzy could make a nice bit of change if he/she wanted to auction this off!

That is a bummer GG. Fozzy IS lucky to own that!!

[LUMPYGARY]

TKC, I only wish it was mine!* ;D* I only have a picture of it.* :(* It came with the clip and to my knowledge, Peter only made one of them. A very nice piece.....


He made at least 2, cause I have one as well. Also, I have a couple that have been pimped (by Bill Yester) to have a Cucchiara-esque FIZZ treatment. They turned out really cool.

I'll get some pics in the next day or so.

Gary

[Gadget Guy]

I bet Fozzy could make a nice bit of change if he/she wanted to auction this off!


I'll start the bidding at $200! ;D No, I'm not kidding!

[loveit]

I'll start the bidding at $200!* ;D* No, I'm not kidding!


This is all too rich for my blood! But boy, that perfbaby is nice!

[Gadget Guy]

Ah come on Karin, this could be fun! ;D I really don't want to pay that much, but I am just trying to stir Peter up a little bit. :laugh: I have to give him time, as I know Peter will come through for us....

[loveit]

I'm willing to wait. Peter WILL come through. I have faith. It will be worth waiting for!

[Chief-Yeah]

if he does come through he better make a bunch of 'em cause I want one too !!

[PSM]

if he does come through he better make a bunch of 'em cause I want one too !!


Me three! With a tritium slot! (I have my own trit.) A man can dream cant he?

[LowWorm]

Me four!

We can make it a sit-in...everyone holding hands and singing Kumbayah until Peter goes nuts and relents. :idiot2:

Let's not stop at Perforated Prybabies, though...what else does Peter make that can handle an absurd number of holes? :knuppel2:

[stillphoto]

Well considering I was mentioning it back in august..heh..

[TKC]

Me 5!! And make mine with tritium too, pretty please.

[In_Flux]

Tritium upgrade? Me too, Me too!!!

[loveit]

I'll take whatever perf baby comes my way! :coolsmiley:

[Deaths Head]

Yoohoo! Peter!

I would love a perfbaby and will take what ever Peter decides to make, but i would REALLY love one in ti. :bow: :smitten: maybe if we prod him enough he will make them. :fingered: :fingered: :fingered: :fingered: :fingered: :fingered: :fingered: :fingered:

It was just a matter of time Karin! ;D He is out of stock, but will be making more of them! :knuppel2:

[loveit]

Yep, I saw that! All 22 flew out the door quickly! I got my hands on one, too! :)

[Gadget Guy]

Today was a bad day to miss Peter's blog! Luckily for me I was tipped off. :-X :highfive:

[loveit]

Life is good for us Atwood fans today!

:cool:

[In_Flux]

I'm in too!!! ;D

[Peter Atwood]

Hey, I got one too! :P :laugh:

I'll be working on a few more sometime this week so maybe by next weekend I'll have another batch ready. :)

Thank you folks, it really is very much appreciated.

[frannek]

I ordered one as well. And Peter, THANK YOU! ;D

Perforated mini Keyton please! ;D

Here you go:

At 26 grams each they are damn near weightless in your hand yet still quite strong. I beat the crap out of one prying on a wooden pallet with no ill effects and with the corner of the forks easily backed out a sheetrock screw in my bench with no deformation. So I'd say they're good to go. ;)

Perforated mini Keyton please! ;D

[loveit]

I got mine today! It is neat! The larger holes actually help with gripping the tool-- pretty cool! This is my first standard size prybaby! I do like the small size of the mini, but this guy is just too fun! Peter's photos are great, so I will wait until I have more time before taking my own. This really is cool!

[brofro]

I received my as well today! :D

[loveit]

My better half, who likes to make fun of my EDC stuff, asked if this prybaby was half the price because it is just half the metal. He thinks he's so smart sometimes! He just tries to anger me! He can't today, though. I am content with my new little guy!

[Gadget Guy]

I want mine! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! I'm always a day later living California. :(

[mlh10475]

I got mine today!!!! Thanks Peter!!!!! :D

[dinoadventures]

Got mine today!

Thanks, Peter.

The grip on this is great. I figured that it would be, but I was totally unprepared for how attractive the bead blast finish looks in person. I expected it to be shinier. I really like the finish. A lot.

[Virgo]

Received mine today. Like the new steel :).

[ScarabDrowner]

still waiting here in GA... maybe it'll show up this afternoon ^_^


Yup! I was right, it was there waiting for me! Yay :D

dang I missed out too...anyone have a good drill bit?

[Peter Atwood]

You're welcome folks! :) I'm really digging them too. Got a few more in heat treat this morning along with Mini Keytons. :D

[tinyblob]

along with Mini Keytons. :D

woooooo! just how mini are they? do they have the Area 51 grinds?

[Gadget Guy]

The mini Keyton's are in stock! :D Check it out! :knuppel2: BTW, the perforated Prybabies are in stock too! :shocked:

[shomen]

Got my order for a perforated prybaby in! Should be shipping tomorrow according to Peter. ;D

Nice! :highfive: The people who miss out on this will be crying later! :laugh:

[tinyblob]

i'm waiting for the OK from Peter before i order myself a mini keyton, i'm all excited :laugh:

[tinyblob]

Ordered!

[Gadget Guy]

Ordered!


You will love it! My favorite Atwood tool so far. It is just perfect for keychain carry.

We'll have to wait and see which ends up being used more, the keyton or the prybaby.. I don't exactly open many bottles, so i think it's going to be the keyton!

Just ordered my own piece of steel swiss cheese! Wasn't sure if I'd be able to grab one quick enough. During the ordering I was worried it would get ordered out from under me!

[In_Flux]

I received mine today- and it's even better than expected. This is actually my first PryBaby (although I have a few other Atwood goodies) and I'm very happy I waited for this one!

From the photos it looked like there's only about three or four sizes of holes in the swiss cheese. In actuality, there are at least 6 or 7 different sized graduated holes which makes a much nice effect- and they're all countersinked! And like Dino said, the bead blasted finish is the perfect compliment- not as shiny as it appears in the photos. Pictures really don't do it justice- the workmanship is flawless.

If anyone is on the fence over these- do not hesitate! Grab one while they're in stock! O0

i got mine yesterday, and its great, it deconstructed its first pallet today. its not as effective as my 5''wedgie, but it will do nicely

[loveit]

I am really liking mine a lot. I am more of a satin finish person, so I polished mine up a little from the bead blast finish. I took a few photos...

[Piripi]

Your Prybaby looks great! What did you use to polish it?

[loveit]

I started with a scotch-brite pad type thing on my Dremel. After that I used a little metal polish (MAAS available at most hardware stores). I spread the polish first on the cloth to even it out.

[Piripi]

Thank you!! It's a very nice looking finish.

[nicknwong]

someone should try filling the holes with GID paint.

You know I thought of that...and I dont know if I can drive myself to do it...Even though I just got the new ultra + glow powder this piece is just so cool in this state.

Nice polish job loveit!

[iceman]

Polished ones are way too cool! Good Job!

[Peter Atwood]

Nice job Karin! :)

[loveit]

Thanks for the positive comments! I just opened my first beer with the perforated PB! I will say that the regular sized PBs work better than the mini for this purpose. I think I have found the perfect task for this new tool!

:cheers:

I read somewhere that if you dont mix epoxy with the glow powder it can still be removed.

[ScarabDrowner]

then what would hold the powder in the holes if you don't use epoxy? ^_^

[nicknwong]

im not sure, but it was another substance that was less sticky.need to check up on it.

[cbdudley]

I was lucky enough to score one of these on CPF (thanks Pokerstud!) It is just about perfect, just a little bit larger than I would like. I wonder if Peter will ever make these in a mini version?

[Peter Atwood]

I might make a smaller one at some point. It's one of a very long list of pieces that I would like to do....;)

[Lugsalot]

I got my Perforated Prybaby second hand from roadrunner. I was amazed at how light it was! I've since gotten a regular Prybaby for EDC, so I think I'll just keep the perforated one in my collection.

A miniature version would be cool!

[knightrider]

They sure are light! Haven't used mine yet, but I'm sure it can do almost anything the non perforated version can. I had been waiting on these for a long time and was very happy they came along!
