Lovely work DB - thanks for making these available O0 :ty: - I've dropped you a line.

JB

[DB]

More Ti-Picks added! :knuppel2:

[DB]

I should also mention that if anyone wants one of these titanium toothpicks not anodized, I can re-polish them to their natural finish. :thumbsup:

[russtang]

I would like #2
#9
#8 polished to a natural finish.
thanks

[Johnjeeper]

do you have any pics elsewhere? I can not get this computer to open your photos, if you email, my email is in my profile

[jodj]

I'll take 11, if it's still available.

[russtang]

:paypal:

[jodj]

paypal sent fo 11. Thanks, DB

[DB]

A couple new toothpicks! #13 and #14 are closer to being "monchromatic", with only a slight variation in the coloring. (I like how the copper color turned out)

[HoopleHead]

bump. bought 2 from DB, and they rock!

[jodj]

Is lucky 13 still available? If so, I'll follow HoopleHead's lead and purchase my second.

[DB]

Yep! It's still available and all yours if you want!

[Nephiel]

I keep on checking this thread and every time I do I can't help noticing number 12.
It's just beautiful. Look at that gradient! :shocked: I can't believe no one bought it yet.
I have to put an end to that. If you ship to Europe, I'll take it.

I'll have a hard time to justify spending $25 in a toothpick... :rolleyes:

Yes, it's still available and I do in fact ship to Europe. The color that came out on #12 has been one of my favorites so far.

[Nephiel]

:paypal: for number 12.

Paypal sent for 13. (Sorry for the delay, had to take a nap after early morning Atwood foraging.)

[DB]

New toothpicks now available!

[Hank at Arfcom]

do you have any pics of the natural finished ones? for some reason, the anodized pics in the first thread doesn't seem to do well on my monitor here at work.

I'm working on it! I'm just waiting for another shipment of titanium before I can make more... :clock:

[Sgt. LED]

Sweet!
You take a postal money order from me?! ;D

[DB]

Sweet!
You take a postal money order from me?! ;D


Yes, I prefer PayPal but I will do money orders also.

[Sgt. LED]

Well it's a deal!  Put me down for one.  Blue grooved and not too deep on the cuts.
Uhh if you take orders that is.

[DB]

generally I don't specifically take orders, but once I have a few toothpicks made up, there will probably be one or two in the batch that fit the bill. ;)

[Sgt. LED]

Cool, just don't forget about me.
:popcorn:

[smokelaw1]

Hey there Sgt! That mag623 is performing just amazingly withthe throwmaster! I'll send a beamshot!

Oh, and I'm in for two toothpicks as soon as the next batch comes through!

[Sgt. LED]

Thanks for directing me over here!
Great place. :highfive:

[Nephiel]

Received mine today. I love the color gradient. Thanks!

[MattW]

Hey, you guys buying toothpicks, please come visit my thread on Toothpick FOB's. I have a few takers, but we need a few more to cover the costs.

I have a sketch of the proposed design to hold two of DB's 2.5" picks. Expanding the thumbnail doesn't seem to work that well, at least on my computer. You may have to save the .pdf to see the detail.

DB,

Hope you don't mind - I modded mine slightly.

received toothpick yesterday and left feedback just now- looks great, DB!

LOL...nice mod!

[DB]

Quick update...I have a few toothpicks on the way, hopefully done this weekend! I recently changed jobs, and the new hours have been kicking my butt, so not a lot of time in the past two weeks for fun stuff. :work:

[smokelaw1]

Cool! Should we just watch this thread for availabilty? Will you update first post?

[DB]

Cool! Should we just watch this thread for availabilty? Will you update first post?


Yes and yes. ;D

[Sgt. LED]

Could you sell me one?
Please

[DB]

Work has been kicking my butt the past two weeks (11 hour shifts...bleh). I have about half a dozen that I hope to have finished before midnight tonight. ;D

[Sgt. LED]

Excellent!
What address do I sent a Money order to?
;D

[DB]

Two toothpicks added! More coming!


(BTW, both toothpicks are the same length, approx. 2 3/8"; camera angle and perspective make one look longer)

[DB]

Excellent!
What address do I sent a Money order to?
;D


PayPal address is on my signature line, Sgt. Let me know which if the two new picks you want too.

[Sgt. LED]

Dang, wish I had a working PP account.  :sigh:
#2 Nice.

Doh, it must be past my bedtime. I need to read more carefully. Sarge, PM sent.

[Sgt. LED]

Sweet I'll take the 2nd one down. :highfive:

[smokelaw1]

I can't seethe pics at work. What does the last available one look like, anyone?

[Sgt. LED]

Last one for now.

[smokelaw1]

I'll take it.
I'd like a non anodized one next week, too, if available.
PP incoming!

Thanks Sgt! By the way, I made a neighbor freak out last night with that 623. We both were out back looking for another neighbor's dog, I had a surefire 6p with a malkoff in it, and he was amazed at the "unbelievable brightness," as compared to the plastic 2D he was holding. I handed him the 623 that I "just so happened" to have brought along (with the Fivemega throwmaster on it!) and told him to point it away from his face. He almost dropped it like it had a kick! Like when the mean guy at the range handed me a .45-70 chambered revolver ( I think it was a Magnum Industries BFR or some such)....

[Sgt. LED]

Cool!
:highfive:
The Mag623 is so much fun. I think EDCF is now winning my time over CPF, 1 big reason is the New replies to your posts feature.

[DB]

Two more toothpicks added just now; I kept one non-anodized per several requests. More on the way!

[smokelaw1]

DB- PP sent per our PMs.

Once again, I can't see the other available ones. If the anodized one is not a very differnt color fromt he one I got yesterday, I'll be happy to take that non-anodized one off your hands!

[DB]

Two more toothpicks added tonight! #19-21 still available!

Glad to hear they arrived safely! Hopefully once I kick this flu ug that I have, I'll be able to get back to making a few more toothpicks...

[0dBm]

I have one of these that I bought from a fellow member. You did a fine job making them! :thumbsup:

I don't use mine as a toothpick any longer, however it is a great hors d'œuvre skewer. ;D

Yes, using it as an actual toothpick is on the bottom of the duty list for my own personal piece. It makes a great little marlinespike, to be sure. :)

[DB]

Hey everyone, finally had a few days of free time, got off my duff, and made a small batch of Ti toothpicks again. First post in the thread updated!

[hawkeye]

I want #27! (I'll take it)

Edit: paypal incoming to you, sir! Thanks!

PayPal received; #27 is all yours!

[DB]

Hawkeye, your Ti Toothpick was sent out today!

[hawkeye]

Got it today! Thanks, it is very cool.

+Feedback left for you.

[DB]

Thanks! Likewise on the feedback.

[Hank at Arfcom]

DB- i'll take #25. please confirm- thanks!

[DB]

Confirmed! :highfive:

[DB]

Hank, your Ti toothpick will be on it's way in the mail tomorrow. Looks like that leaves one left. Guess I better get cracking on a few more!

[DB]

After reading a few modding threads, I'm going to take a shot at doing a few GITD ti toothpicks....stay tuned. ;D

[orangegoat]

how do i order one of these?!!! they are so cool.

You post here, saying "I want one....they are so cool". ;D

I actually have to make a few more up. I'm half way through finishing a batch, so just keep an eye on this thread. I'm waiting on a commercial anodizer that I just ordered so I can play with the anodizing more than what my homemade job was giving me.

Actually, I'm much more impressed with the fact that you built one and haven't blowup the neighborhood/yourself...yet. I just see this as a way of making sure I have a long(er) life ahead of me. :rolleyes:

Yep, hoping to have at least a couple ready by tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Well, I didn't get them completely done today because of several interruptions, but they're close. This weekend for sure.

Man, does that sound familiar! I know this is OT, but I just wanted to chime in with some commiseration. :) It is hard to wait for stuff you want to buy, but in the case of these little hand-made goodies, the guy/gal making them is not in business. We do this stuff as a hobby, and the money from selling them goes to buy more tools, knives, etc. As a hobby, it takes a back seat to the rest of our lives - Job, family, homes, etc.

So let me say this - These toothpicks are very cool, and worth the wait!

Get 'em done when ya can, DB...

[DB]

Just added a couple new Ti toothpicks! I know several people have made a few requests for more recently, and I've had these on the workbench for a couple weeks now. Just finished the anodizing today, and will have a few more ready by tonight hopefully.

[MacGnG]

[Roger Beep]

:woohoo: Lightning fast shipping! My toothpick arrived safe and sound today in Europe and it is a real beauty O0

The anodizing looks great and the tube that you use to store the toothpick in: excellent package!

Thanks DB, pos feedback is on its way.

[DB]

Thanks! Glad you approve! ;D

[DB]

One toothpick left! I'll be making a few more this weekend. Any requests? ;D

[DB]

I have three new Titanium toothpicks available. Two of them are "special editions". One "glow-pick" and one "trit-pick". Pics and prices up shortly in the first post of the thread.

*edit*


Here's a pick of the special edition Ti picks glowing!

[orangegoat]

are you open to trades?

[DB]

are you open to trades?


Yes, I frequently do trades. The only exceptions would be the "special edition" toothpicks since I don't have the resources to make more than a few of those.

[MattW]

Is that second one Trit or glow rings?

SUUUUUPER COOL!

[Lugsalot]

AWESOME. :bow:

[fishwolf]

:iagree: O0

[DB]

Is that second one Trit or glow rings?

SUUUUUPER COOL!


The first one is a 1.5mmx5mm green trit tube. The second one is Glowinc's glowpowder using the epoxy method discussed in the modding section of the forum. :)

[wcy]

DB, that dual ring glowing toothpick is very nice.

I took my Ti toothpick and delrin sheath on a couple of flights now. I'm glad that toothpicks are not restricted items.

The glowpowder mod is an excellent and practical addition. Good stuff!

[DSC]

I took my Ti toothpick and delrin sheath on a couple of flights now. I'm glad that toothpicks are not restricted items.

How would they have known you had it? Did you show it to them? Ti won't set off a metal detector in a small quantity like this.

[themadplumbarian]

OK i got a question, i love titanium, and like toothpicks, but how do you put the two together, i cant understand how your chewing on a paperclip?, wood yes, disadvantage, splits, Bic pen cap, great, disadvantage, gets tooth marks, titanium. no give, hurt teeth???

I've never really used my "toothpick" heavily as an actual toothpick. It's more of a multipurpose tool. How many times have you needed a little too to poke, scrape, prod, pick at, or puncture something?

[Nephiel]

I've used mine as a skewer for snacks.

I carry mine tucked away in my wallet. You can see it poking out halfway in this picture.


http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e231/piekkola/submissions/pktdump.jpg



I ship them in a little clear tube that can be used to carry them also, which themselves fit nicely in a steel toothpick case that can found on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180135093116&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=008) for about $10. Both can be seen in this photo.

You already figured it out.... ;)

[wcy]

How would they have known you had it? Did you show it to them? Ti won't set off a metal detector in a small quantity like this.



Sorry, I should have added an appropriate smilie. There are often threads where folks wring their hands over what to take on a plane.
But to seriously answer the question, everything goes through the x-ray. Full disclosure. But shucks, they have no problem with 14" knitting needles, so a toothpick won't
cause any concern.

[DSC]

But to seriously answer the question, everything goes through the x-ray. Full disclosure.

Ummmm...*I* don't go through the x-ray and I carry my Ti stuff (things like this) on my person.

I got a new Ti ring from Boone Rings...interesting to see if it will set of the metal detector next time I travel...it is a beefy ring. 8-1-1 Ti.

[DB]

Looks like the special edition TTT is the last one available until I get more stock!

*edit*

Looks like the Ti Glowpick is also still available too!

[DB]

All Ti toothpicks are sold! Need to get another batch on the way here, hopefully have a few done this weekend!

[MacGnG]

i think these are really cool and i was gonna get my gf one but she said "i dont need that. i dont even use a regular one... i just use a plastic bag" :P

[faca]

I've used mine as a skewer for snacks.

aaah good tastefull "PULPO a la GALLEGA" ;-)

Received my tritium and glow-ring toothpicks today. What could be cooler or more awesome and hilarious than a titanium toothpick with tritium in it? I love it. If you want to make more of those special ones, please let me know! And if you make more normal ones I'll probably buy some of those too.

Glad you like them! Once I'm able to get a few more trit tubes, I'll make a few more, as well as trying a few more of the glow picks too.

I was planning on starting my next batch of regular Ti picks today, but I ended up having to stay at work an extra 5 hours to cover a shift for someone that didn't show for theirs...(grrr) At least I got started and was able to cut a few rough lengths to at least get the process rolling....

[phoenix.stu]

Look forward to it. :)

[claudefrancois]

Me too, is there any chance to get one with a hole to carry it on a keychain - I've seen diffrent ways to carry it but none of them looks pefect to me. In the wallet you can loose it, iin a tube, it's big... well anyway I dont have the problem yet as I dont have it... :knuppel2:

[Gryphon]

What I did is use a Sunshine toothpick holder tube and put several Ti toothpicks in it. I got the last they had in titanium but they have nice SS and brass ones and some of them have keychain heads (unlike mine) IIRC.

[claudefrancois]

Thanks for the input Gryphon! I will consider having a look at the next batch and order one... for the tube I might find something in Ti somewhere soon.

[Gryphon]

OMG, if you find a Ti tube please let me know where you got it. I'd love a second one, especially with a keychain setup.



Thanks for the input Gryphon! I will consider having a look at the next batch and order one... for the tube I might find something in Ti somewhere soon.

[claudefrancois]

well I will start to investigate when I could get a tootpick, but my 1st think goes to INKA pen... an INKA pen titanium is actually a tube of titanium, you could certainly arrange it to fit your need. No ?

[DB]

This isn't Ti, but it works pretty darn well, especially since the tube I ship them in slides in snugly...


http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e231/piekkola/submissions/pickpocket.jpg

[claudefrancois]

DB, could you please show us the procedure to make those toothpicks ? how you do them in pics would be nice ... at least for me, I am sooo curious about everything. :winkwink:

ps. the tube you ship them in is already great, yeah.

[Gryphon]

DB - where's that tube from?

Claude - Inkas are too small to hold these toothpicks, even if there was a way to use them as a storage case, which I don't think there is.

If you are referring to the metal case in his hand not the clear one. DB lists an ebay link to them just a few posts up #116

[DB]

I have 5 new Ti toothpicks available at the moment (only 4 are pictured; I also have a plain toothpick like #39).

[Gryphon]

Stu: I ordered one of the ebay ones. Didn't notice the link before.

Neph: I tested it and the Inka actually might work as a toothpick case if you take out the pen part. Kind of expensive for that purpose though, and doesn't screw in place so it could open and spill.

DB: I'd love another tritium and/or glowy toothpick(s)!

<<edit>> DB, I'll take the plain one. Please PM with PP address and total including some reasonably fast shipping method.

[phoenix.stu]

I'll take it. Give me a minute to figure out which color. I was looking at the plain one but it is taken already.

Edit: Sorry DB. I will pass on this opportunity to someone else. I was looking for a more plain one. I will hopefully catch your next batch. Thanks again for the opportunity.

I have one more plain Ti toothpick available....picture available shortly. :)

Reallllly....I can come up with both the toothpick and the target if you like.

We'll see. The first one I made was a titanic pain in the butt. Took me about 6 tries the first time; burned through over a foot of titanium stock before I got it right. If I can figure out an easier way to do it, you'll see more in the near future. Otherwise it will just be a limited number, mainly because the trit tubes are expensive and take forever shipping. But I'll still do it regardless. :)

[Mr. kydex]

I was JUST thinking that! DB, that would be so dang awesome if you could make your Ti toothpicks to fit/replace SAK toothpicks!

[Gryphon]

Well, I can imagine it would be tricky. By the way, what about the glow stuff? What did you use for that? Would you be able to put some in the grooves of my tritpick if I were to send it back? (I'd pay of course). Or is that pointless overkill?

[DB]

I have to say, I've actually been experimenting in secret on this. I haven't been able to produce a very refined version yet, as it's been all manual handwork with a dremel so far. I'll keep everyone informed on how my experiments go and hopefully I'll figure out a solution to make a better SAK toothpick. ;D

I wouldn't be able to do it the the regular toothpicks, as I machined wider and deeper channels to accommodate the glow powder/epoxy in the first glowpick. I do plan on making more, I just need it to be warmer so it's easier to work with the epoxy.

[DB]

All the current Ti picks are spoken for, but I should have a few more this coming week. ;D

[greyhound352]

:woohoo:

I received my Ti toothpick today in the mail and I'm loving it. Left feedback and hope to see some more glow picks in the future.

Hey everyone! I have a small batch of plain Ti toothpicks available (see first post of thread). If anyone wants one of these anodized, just let me know and I can take care of that before shipping it out.

Hey DB,

I feel kinda bad I have never come across this thread, WTH? I'd like one if not to late. Which one has the most tapered or thinnest tip and point? I kinda like the ones that have the slightly tapered butt end also.

I'd say 44 or 45 for what you'd like. 45 is just a hair longer than 44.

Unfortunately, I'm still here. :)

[DB]

Answering a question I've received via PM several times, just so everyone knows, I can take any of the plain Ti toothpicks and anodize them if that is what you prefer. You can go back and look at my previous toothpicks to see what the possibilities are. :)

[DpM]

Hey DB,

I've been wanting to buy one of your Ti toothpicks for a while.... however, i liked the idea about one for a SAK. Any news on that?? I recently received a Green Rambler and i love it: with a Ti toothpick, it would be perfect.
Looking forward to any progress! :highfive: ;D

I haven't been able to play around with the idea for awhile with my supplies being a bit short. Once I get a chance to get a substantial amount of Ti to play around with again, I'll be working on this again.

[DB]

Still got a couple Ti toothpicks left for those who were asking. Just let me know if you want them plain or anodized like any of the previous toothpicks in the first post. ;D

Not that I'm aware of. It's a little bit different that what you can do with aluminum. If you wanted something dark, the deep blue/purple is about the darkest option.

[Cosmo7809]

Thank you sir!

[Belush2]

PayPal sent for #43 and #44 :thinking: one will make a great gift!!

[DB]

Thanks, all sold out at the moment then! As soon as I get power back to my garage, I'll be making more.

Oh, hello there! :-X

These kind of went on the back burner the last few months, as I've had more on my plate than I know what to do with, but I've had a few people ask about them, so I may have to whip up a few more here shortly for those asking about them. ;D

These are extremely cool. Are these intended to really be used in your mouth, or just a fun little tool? Also, is the best way to EDC them in that little capsule, or are there any good ways to store it on a keychain?

*Waves to everyone*

I just received the raw material I ordered a couple weeks ago, and have the entire weekend to hopefully crank out a few. I was hoping I'd have the material before Thanksgiving, but apparently my order never actually went through, so I had to re-order. In other words, I'm getting close!

[jenkinma]

Thank you! :ty:

Excuse me for the question, but I am new: What would be the cost and how could we effect payment?

Scroll down to the first post, where you will find out cost and paypal information as well as photographs of DB's previous efforts.

Joe

[TDL]

Thanks. It a very interesting product. I have read the whole post and notice it is highly regarded. I want one for sure, specially a special edition glowing one. First problem I notice in my case it is that I am out of my country and I do not know how to make paypal from where I am now. I am only able to effect VISA payments for the moment.

[DB]

Holy smokes! I can't believe how many requests I've had in just the last week! Just to show you I'm actually working on these, here's a picture of the first 6 of the dozen I'm currently working on. Now, these aren't finished yet, so don't start requesting any of these until I post them up for sale. I promise there will be enough to go around! :D

TDL, welcome to EDCF! Once you have enough posts, you'll have access to the Buy/Sell/Trade area where these are available. Regardless of your location, you should be able to use Paypal if you have an account. Thanks for your interest!

Those are great, DB. I 'd be happy with any of them.
Do I understand correctly that you won't be posting them to this thread?

Ahh, yes...well...heh. :rolleyes:

Seems I didn't realize that this thread that was originally in the BST area is now in the Custom area. So yes, this is the thread that will have them for sale.

[DB]

Okay, I was on a roll so I just had to keep going until I had some finished. I would have got more done, but I ran out of finishing supplies.

The first 4 of 12 that I'll have available are in the first post of this thread, numbers 46-49. More to come most likely later in the day on Tuesday. :)

[Donny Dont]

Paypal sent for two. Thanks!

Joe

[DB]

Payment received for #47-#48. Thanks Joe!

I had one of these for about a year or more though I didn't know who had made it. I foolishly lost it in Waikiki a few weeks ago. But I can say, these are awesome! The level of craftsman ship is second to none!

[DB]

Exciting news! I finally acquired an industrial anodizer, and the colors that I am now able to do have just tripled! I'll have a couple more toothpicks in new colors available shortly!

[DB]

First post has been updated with three new Ti Toothpicks in new color schemes I tried tonight. I think they turned out pretty good!

[Belush2]

O0 Congrats on the new machine!!

Great Job on the newest batch of toothpicks...they did turn out pretty good!!

The colors are alot more sharp and vivid, and they are looking Pretty Awesome!!

Keep up the Great Work, and Hope You are having Fun!! :highfive:

I will continue to make these into next year. I prefer Paypal, but I can also accept a money order as well. It just makes the process a whole lot longer, as I wait to make sure everything clears first.
