Thread: 8-32 x .3" anodized thumb screws!!!!

  1. #1

    Default 8-32 x .3" anodized thumb screws!!!!

    Oh, joy! Oh, rapture! How I have waited for these to appear in the TCSS catalog! Don't they rate an announcement in the "Official Store News"!?

    And not just red, but black! How cool is that?

    These are sure to be included in my next TCSS order.

    That is awesome. I have been looking for a place to get them in 8-32 size. I have plenty of them in 6-32.

    Well, I assume they will be similar to other new aluminum thumbscrews that Tim added recently, which look like this:




    If you're wishing for something that looks like the red anodized knobs carried by that other respected purveyor of saber parts, I think you'll be disappointed. On the other hand, those other knobs cost 3 1/3 times as much, weigh about 3 times as much, and take weeks or even months to be delivered. I once ordered a bunch of those knobs, completely forgot about them, and was stunned when they suddenly showed up nearly three months later! When I wrote to complain, I got a form response that read, in part:
    Due to the fact that we build and produce
    the highest quality saber hilts (or handles)
    you'll ever be able to own a short wait is
    needed. Also keep in mind that each saber
    gets the attention of an artist and the
    process is overseen by our master
    builder - _________.
    Dude, I ordered little red knobs, and nothing else! It's not like you had to have them shipped from Dantooine.

    Ehem.

    The point being, it is great to have these lightweight, inexpensive thumbscrews that I know can be shipped even to Japan (where I live) in about ten days.

    DUH.. I guess I did forget to announce them. These are flat on top. I had these custom made and I am open to any other size/color suggestions.

    Just got my batch (five of each color) yesterday. They are every bit as slick and gorgeous as the (much heavier, expensive, and slow to ship) equivalents from That Other Shop, complete with the circular pattern you had your fingers crossed for.

    Excellent work, Tim! Thanks again!

    Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that we got some of these. They ARE awesome. We used a red one on Malum Diabolus for decoration and it looks fabulous. Brass or gold anodized would be cool, purple anodized etc.

    If you're new, please take the time we all consider just as precious as you and READ!
