I posted the design a while back in my build log and finally got it made. I love it, and it is a one of a kind. Just thought I would share.

I'd forgotten about this one. Next group buy maybe? You'd have a few orders, might even take off like the grill emblems did. In any case, it's a seriously cool ring.

Me too. I don't want to be presumptuous but I would buy one. That is, if Wax would make them. Maybe with something else instead of "ROBERT". :mrgreen: Although with the seven emblem on one side and LOCOST on the other side, it could just be the rings.

I guess that is where “WAX” came from? Lost wax casting?

Its been a long time since I have been on the forum......... LIFE.

I think there is still a mid finished car in my garage.......I think its still under the pile.

I would be willing to make some of these guys if we can get a enough people to commit.


Price would have to be in the $60 to $70 range which would give me $10 profit after materials, machining and casting.

I am willing to do it like I said, if I can get enough to commit.

Also, I have tossed this around to my wife who has started her own hand made pottery business. (the reason why I have not had time or money to work on the car)
I was thinking of some coffee mugs with the 7 emblem on the side. She can also put names ect as special orders.

Just visited "Foxy Pots" on Facebook. Your Lady does nice work, as do you. You guys planning on going to the "War Eagle Mill Fall Arts and Crafts Fair" in October? Should be right up your alley, and not too far from home. http://www.wareaglemill.com/fall-craft-fair/

Here are a couple waxes that I cut. When I had them cast, they blew out so I never got a good part. Such is life. I never did cut more.

But its always an option if someone wants something other then a ring. Necklace pendant, keychain........

Ohhh and some AR15 trigger components as well.
