    That staple is too cool! One question, why are you calling them TENT stakes? Fly stakes, tarp stakes, sidewinder stakes. But tent stakes?

    Sweet! Who doesn't love some heat anodized Ti. By the variations I take it you're getting used to a MAPP torch or something similar?

    Since you're trying to produce them in mass with color consistency, maybe an electrolyte bath is a better solution?

    Be safe!

    Thanks, that's what we're using now. There just seem to be a lot of different variables to pin down. Here's the latest batch fresh out of the anodizing bath.

    They're definitely getting better. Interested to see how this comes together Randy.

    Aint that the truth. No way around the real-world testing. But looks like a great start. I'm guessing you're doing the rainbows to figure out where your color voltages are? Here's hoping for some pink and magenta (a lil higher voltage

    I've been completely impressed with both the looks and performance of the set I received, but these look even more amazing!
