Antique Aluminum Ruler Money Clips - $17

These are each hand made from very old, aluminum folding rulers harvested from flea markets and estate sales. So their condition is, well used. Used and beautiful. Theres a lot of character to be seen in each piece and not a lot of gunk. I de gunked them. But I left the character. Just, no gunk. They are about 3.25 inches long and are perfect for carrying a couple of cards, some cash, and an ID. These items are bent to the most useful degree and overworking them will result in breakage. So just think about that before changing your paycheck into singles and heading to the... video...arcade.

These are made to order and are currently available!

Reclaimed Wooden Play Sword - $50

High adventure awaits! My personal designs and fittings for nearly indestructible wooden sword toys, each one is made from reclaimed wood and appropriately sized for the age of the child.

The “Saw-ord” Upcycled Wooden Play Sword - $40

Nothing, I repeat, nothing was more coveted by me as a child than a really cool wooden sword. Unfortunately I was terrible at making things back then. Now I am making up for it with a line of wooden play swords constructed from reclaimed and naturally harvested wood. The "saw-ord" is made from the handle on an antique/vintage saw, left in it's found condition, and a natural hardwood blade, hand carved and set together with wood joinery. No metal fasteners here. This toy will hold up to abuse and last a long time. This particular one has a worn, teal handle and a Rock Maple blade.
