    Hello customworks83, I hope you still have a few more devil horns 'cause my old lady said she e-mailed you about one today through e-bay, but when she went back to e-bay to order it the site said "item ended", so she was wondering if you could re-list your sweet-ass product so she can purchase one. Hope you can accommidate us. Thanks.

    The emblem on Ebay has been relisted.
    I'd like to make a note that if she buys it from ebay I can't give her the TW discount. The TW discount is only for direct paypal transactions not involving ebay. I haven't had anything wrong happen both ways, you guys make the choice.

    hey customworks, do you CNC special request emblems to fit the toyota? cause i'm looking to get an emblem to replace the front of my toyota 2008. i like the devil horns you make but i was looking for someone to do a slipknot trible "S" that would fit in its place...

    [​IMG]
    is that something you can do if i modify the design? if so any quote you could give me. thanks.

    Very nice... Do you do shift knobs and things of that nature as well? You'd make a killing off ebay.

    Nice pics everyone! Sad to know I won't be making these anymore, everything comes to an end eventually. I will make a few for previous generation tacomas, still waiting for a grill from a forum member as I will use it for dimensioning purposes and ship it back with a free emblem. people have been asking me to make shift knobs, I would if I had a CNC lathe available. Also, about that sic Slipknot logo yes I can do it but not at the moment. I have too much in my hands with work, school and side projects but send me your e-mail address with a brief description and I'll have you on my list (sorry, I write everything down) and I'll notify you with a quote. since everyone's posting pics, here's one that I look back to. I was 19 at the time and I took on this project not knowing if I was going to succeed or not:
    CIMG0454Small_ac0280e75de5104a1ee1f08af516b3e6ee1e469c.jpg
    here's the 3D geometry:

    Raw block of aluminum

    First and second wheel
    CIMG0436Small_ee465a8a2ce77b17e35662be5f1b2ad9abf30418.jpg
    This is still an unfinished wheel
    CIMG2217Small_cac806d5ce8fc13acf54c6efab38dfd090aa3293.jpg
    It never got finished, it's an aluminum biohazard steering wheel made for a friend of mine. He used to have a classic car and he asked me to make it for him, unfortunatelly he sold his car due to financial problems before I could finish it. I made another one as well, you can see it unfinished inside the machine. He said he was sorry, he paid for it and he let me keep it. that project was tough, it was made in school and even the instructor stai'd with me until midnight sometimes.I learned programming 3D on my own, how to operate that machine, set-up, TLO's... countless hours.
    When someone has a passion for something, they get to know themselves a lot better.
    just taught i'd share.

    Dude really you have to stop showing us stuff like that. Your only giving people Ideas. Your obviously a pretty busy guy and the way you got people salivating right now your going to break a lot of hearts when you tell them sorry I just don't have the time. Unless this was your scheme all along...

    Ok so here is a serious question for you. That steering wheel started off as a pretty large hunk of aluminum. So what happens to the wasted aluminum do you just send it down to your everyday recycling joint or do you have some sort of a deal with your suplier where they buy it back and reprocess it since its already pretty clean? Just wondering.

    Ninja,
    You have exactly the wrong Idea about me and if you were to do your homework a little better you would notice that I do help people that want custom stuff, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS!!!
    http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=247840&page=2
    Read up how many 3D designs I came up with to find out that people don't want them anymore... do you see me whining about it? NO, sh!t happens! Please explain what you meant by Scheme. In the contrary making these emblems as well as other parts takes TIME that I should be using on studying and homework but I do it because I love what I do, if anything I go out of my way, out of what I'm suppost to be dong to try and make these parts. You have exactly zero idea how much these parts really cost compared to the prices I give, besides that I have to spend on material, gas money, coolant, cutters, holding fixtures, electricity, time for reverse engineering, time for design, program tool path, revising G-codes, loading tools into the CNC machine, machine time and that's not even guaranteed that my first part will come out right. Everything takes time, go talk to your local machine shop and compare their price with my price and figure out which price is really a scheme.
    -Andres
    BTW, out material supplier only "sells" the material, they don't fabricate it nor they recycle it. I take all of the aluminum chips as well as the small chunks of aluminum it to a special recycling center since my material is aerospace grade 6061 T6 aluminum, the other "everyday recycling joint" don't even know what 6061 aluminum is.

    I meant no offence by my comment. The whole scheme thing was just a joke and I am more than impressed with your work. I do understand that that it is a very time consuming process from start to finish. I was only saying that showing off awesome pictures like that steering wheel is going to cause your to do list to grow exponentially (that’s not a bad thing) I'm sorry it didn't come off this way but everything in that comment was just my witty or unwitty way of saying "Wow that’s freakin awesome."

    Sure thing, I'll leave a post here. I should be getting the first gen. grill by mail tomorrow if everything goes according to plan. I'll begin working on it right away.
    Back to physics homework... :(
