"Auction Items"










Here they be kids,
Three items for the high bidder.
From left to right we have:
 One of a kind Standing Red Brass Triple Cube. On this one I milled a flat on one of the corners at a compound angle allowing it to stand. This added feature allows a different view than the regular Cubes.
 Next up is another one of a kind Encapsulator. Made of 6061-T6 Aluminum this was a prototype that didn't make it to production. Notice in the 2nd. picture you can see the lanyard in the cap, hence it's not water tight.
 Lastly we have the Chinese Finger Cuff Cube. This was supposed to come out differently, but the Dolt who wrote the program had the cutter compensation on the wrong side.
The Cube measures .900 square, and is made from Red Brass.
Trust me if you get your finger in there, and try to remove it flesh will be removed. Ask me how I know.... You know you shouldn't do it, but you just have to try it.
Notice the fluting on the funnel walls? This is a result of the feature being machined using a 3/16 diameter carbide ball mill interpolating in 3 axis. It was really cool to watch.
The Auction has ended, and eman had the high bid.
Congratulations John.
To all who participated,
Kenn your auctioneer thanks you.

Hey Wes,

the one of a kind Encapsulator looks like a freaking rocket ship from Jules Verne--way cool!

The brass cubes are amazing and calling to us!

Hey guys,
Tell all your friends, or maybe not.
I suppose you wouldn't want to be bidding against them.
I'm sure we'll have a fun time.
Happy Thanksgiving all.

Wes said...

Gary sorry to hear about the car repair brother! Wish you could be in on the bidding.

Hey John! good to hear from ya. HAHA the JV Encapsulator it is ;) Ya the cubes are pretty darn neat definitely are calling to us! They will make an awesome addition to anyones collection. I will be deciding last min if I can bid on these goodies because the KJ knives are so close to completion I need to have some funds for one!! lol. The new home does not help either.

See you guys sometime between Friday and Sunday and Happy Thanksgiving to all you guys.
