New Handle Composites

[fod]

Some new combinations and patterned composites handmade in Jackson, Michigan.

I have been doing this for about two years now and I trying make a good show of this, I am committed to this endeavor and not be a flash in the pan. I would like to be your supplier now and in the future.

If You want something different, please contact me for a quote. Right now, my lead time is about a week, a bit longer f I need to order materials. I can do just about any color, material or combo. Team or School Colors, not problem! Lets Talk.

They are all held together using a high quality, high cost, crystal clear, true epoxy resin and not any of the cheap and nasty polyester or vinylester resins some use to save money. Certainly not bondo from the hardware store. They are cured under pressure and heat. Unless otherwise mentioned, I am using new fabrics and materials. I want to ensure you that I am using the best materials I have found to supply you with high quality laminates.

I need to also mention I am not making Micarta. Micarta is a registered trademark and for me to use the name would be like making copy machines and putting "Xerox" on it, or tissue paper and calling it "Kleenex". It is also made differently.

Paypal Preferred, prices include the fees. I'll happily work with other types of payment. All price are in US Dollars.

New Shipping policy:
$2 per pair, max shipping cost $8 for as much as you order

International customers, I will be happy to ship to you for the actual postage cost and your promise that will not ask me to commit tax fraud. The Standard Rate Envelopes are $13 to most places overseas, if I recall correctly.

Are you going to offer the Yellow and Black Burlap in scale size again?
CHROME Yellow and Black burlap, yum yum. With warm Clover Honey on the side.
I would take two sets.
I REALLY like that Red White and Blue. That's a winner.
I would take some but I already have three sets of blue Lapis, red Coral, and white Pearl (with nickel silver spacer material) AND a set of r/w/b acrylic pearl to use for that theme.
Maybe end of summer for that if you still have it.

Thanks for the kind words.

I will be more than happy to make up anything you like, so please do not wait for me to make something up...I try not to work a bunch of things up and guess what the market will want, Take the above as examples of what I can make up for and let me know exactly what you would like me to make up...my typical minimum size 6" x 12"....anything smaller than this and the cloth can slip between my press plates and make a mess of things.

Please drop me an email and I will be happy to quote you on the black and yellow beeskin (I cannot email you...you apparently have that option turned off).

Thanks again and best regards,

-Todd

looking forward to seeing more linen and carbon fiber.

looking forward to seeing more linen and carbon fiber.

That combination makes some of the coolest flat laid stuff in my experience. I supply Bark River with a red and carbon that is very cool.

It is fairly expensive to make up, so chances are I won't make any up on speculation often. That means I will generally have to wait for an order for me to make more up.

My present minimum size just now is 6 x 12, but I might be able to be talked into going to 6 x 6 on these carbon hybrid laminates.

I'd be happy to discuss specifics with you.

I just saw this thread and was going to put up that pic, but you beat me to it. Thanks for the kind words and the feeling is mutual.

I'd also like to note, in that pic the scales were only sanded to 120 grit. I'm sure they will look much better when I get that blade completed. Also, this stuff is amazing to work with. It was my first stab at a composite and I was very surprised of how easy it was to work.

Great stuff!!!

I suppose I need to lock my sales threads until I figure out what to do regarding The New Policy.
