#PETER POCK UPDATE#

My goal mostly has been to get things moving along so that I can coast through the summer and fall and concentrate on finishing projects rather than all the prep work that goes into making these things. I've been cranking out the projects recently.

We're about to cool off for about a week, weather that my lettuce will really appreciate. I managed to get my garden all squared away, slept in late a couple days, and did countless small tasks around the house. Hope you all had a great holiday weekend! It was lovely here, a great and productive weekend. Thanks as always for stopping by today, and I hope your week ahead is a great one!

Wroidy Steel Chiggers will run $80 plus shipping and the link is below. There are a handful of lefties here as well if anyone wants to email me. The Chiggers are stamped with a wide variety of my decorative stamps, including many old favorites as well as a few new ones. This is a hefty tool that feels great in the hand, with a stonewashed finish and classic old school Atwood design! Anyway, these have a robust pry tip, a 5/16' hex wrench/cap lifter and a 9/16' twelve point wrench. But these are very heavy duty at just shy of 1/4' thickness, so they certainly quality for the 'Wroid' designation.

This is an update to the older design, and I decided to make them a little longer so they are kind of in between the original Chigger and the even older Pest design in terms of length. Today I have those CPM 154 Steel Chiggers done.

I need to buckle down and get the grinding, stamping and finish work done for all those projects and ually the summer heat chases me back inside and down to the cool basement shop. A batch of cute little titanium Flea tools which I made very briefly in steel about 10-12 years ago has been started and they are coming along as well. I have a brand new batch of 6 Flute Mega beads in shiny brass underway, and those will be coming towards the end of the month. I have a big batch of larger tools underway, a newly updated titanium Bug Out Bar design, and those will be done very soon as well.

I am about to stamp up the Zr Stubby MiniBars, so those will be coming up shortly. Well, the projects continue to roll along. Anyhow, it's looking like it might pour rain this morning (maybe!) which is very much needed here as we have been in a nasty drought for the past few month. Happy summer! Hard to believe it is here already.we've just had a little heat wave, although it is nothing like what much of the country has been experiencing lately. Thanks for dropping by and have a great week! Zr MiniBars will run $70 plus shipping and the link is below. Also, a much larger batch of 'summer weight' ones will be coming in steel later this summer so stay tuned for those as well. I decided to revisit the design this year, and once again it's a relatively small batch in the Zr.these have an old style milled V notch and 7/16 wrench opening with blackened finish and a wide variety of stamps. These little cuties were wildly popular when I first made a dozen of them a couple of years back. Today I have some Zirconium Stubby MiniBars done. I haven't made much progress on other projects for a few days but I will pick back on them as well as the next week unfolds.

I hope to have those ready for next week or so. I'm coming along rapidly on the big ti BOBar project. At least it hasn't been too hot and the low humidity has been very comfortable. We desperately need a few more solid days of rain, but are not likely to be getting them anytime soon. We finally got about an inch of rain last night, but as I mentioned before it has been very dry here lately.
