How about an University of Oregon "O"??

Here are a couple of emblems that I have done. One is for the Tacoma, one is for a Carolla and one is for an F-150. I just wanted to give some examples of some of the others I have done. They are unpainted in the pictures.

Just to give you guys a heads up, I am taking orders for the next batch. Try to get anything you want done to me asap. I'll ship to the powder coaters in a couple of weeks, but the sooner I get the design, the better.

Panda Jerk · 07-02-2009, 03:14 PM

can you do one that says TW in the middle of the oval?

One day my friend showed me a picture of a custom emblem and asked me if I could make something similiar for his truck. The company I am with recently acquired a waterjet so I figured I could give it a shot. Since I have access to all the tools I need to make these things, I can put any kind of design into the basic oval exterior of the Toyota symbol. Mostly I have been working on college themed ones but I could easily put other designs inside. My friend challenged me to make one of those devil horn emblems just to test the process and it turned out quite nice. Unfortunately, I dont think I will be able to sell those due to some kind of copyright infringement. I certainly dont want any beef with Toyota. However, I am selling the others for $75 plus shipping, This could vary depending on how complicated the design is.

Each emblem takes some considerable time and hard work to put out. First, the oval with the design is cut by waterjet. Since this leaves only a 2d cut in the metal, the sides have to be ground down by hand then sanded. After the part is shaped it is shipped off to get powder coated. The price given includes a basic powdercoat. This gives the part a nice color and shine.

Since these parts have to be sent to a powder coater, I need to send them in batches. The first batch will be sent in on June 29th so try to let me know ASAP what you are interested in.

These are some pictures of the emblems I have made so far.
Note that the devil horn ones are not for sale for reasons listed above. It is just there for an example of what can be done.

Do you think you can do a Transformers (autobot) symbol?

jhodge83 · 07-02-2009, 08:07 PM

clemson tiger paw OTW!!!!

chestnut35 · 07-03-2009, 12:46 PM

what are the chances of an asu sundevil?

MetalMiller · 07-04-2009, 01:33 AM

send me a pic and I can tell you if it can be done

MetalMiller · 07-17-2009, 08:22 PM

Here is a link to a thread that shows an emblem that is mounted to an older model tacoma. So the good news is that I can make them for older model tacomas now.

mar_ga_rita · 07-18-2009, 10:48 AM

Here is one that he made for me for my taco...

COtacoma15 · 07-20-2009, 09:49 AM

I am interested in having you make me one of these emblems. I want one of the devil horns, not yet powder coated. I want mine to be red. Please message me on how to get payment to you. I have some limited things as far as payment options that I can do seeing as how I am stationed in Afghanistan for the time being.

You are a machinist right? I would love to work with a water jet, but here in the Navy most of the work is by hand.

Anyways hit me up and let me know. The truck is a 2006.

talhas001 · 07-20-2009, 04:00 PM

HEy would you be able to make a transformers (autobots) one ??? Please let me know ... Thanks

MetalMiller · 07-20-2009, 07:38 PM

Yeah, I can definately make an autobot one. I've actually toyed with the design a little bit
