Marty's Escape

Inspiration: I have this tin cup next to my lathe with water in it for wet sanding. One morning I came in to find a drowned spider. I swore to him that his life would not have been lost in vain so I saved him and planned on machining a little brass cup and set him in resin. As the weeks went by, I kept developing the idea. Would be cool if the spider looked like he was coming out of a castle dungeon type place. Be even cooler if there were stairs leading down to an abyss of nothingness. OH! I should laser engrave the Memento Mori art on the top area but then make it look like the floor fell away to some stairs. And, of course, Marty Mcfly should be trying to escape the abyss and the giant spider that lives down there on his hover board. Well this took me so long to get to the resin stage that when I finally picked up the spider to place him, he just fell apart. Dang. Who knew? Which then led me on the hunt for a 3d printed spider that would look as cool but turned out to be cooler.

Memento mori (for 'remember that you [have to] die') is an artistic or symbolic trope acting as a reminder of the inevitability of death.

The Stoics of classical antiquity were particularly prominent in their use of this discipline, and Seneca's letters are full of injunctions to meditate on death. The Stoic Epictetus told his students that when kissing their child, brother, or friend, they should remind themselves that they are mortal, curbing their pleasure, as do "those who stand behind men in their triumphs and remind them that they are mortal". The Stoic, Marcus Aurelius, invited the reader (himself) to "consider how ephemeral and mean all mortal things are" in his Meditations.

Just a simple "worry coin", no frills, no spinning...just feels comforting in the hand.  These are manually machined in limited quantities.

It's that time of year!!!

Every top is a One of a Kind!

I'm doing this a little different this year and going forward. I'm limiting the amount available and "sculpting" each top. I love to think of these as little treasures that you're buying for yourself or a loved one that will carry through the years. For that reason, I want to spend a good amount of time on each and so limiting the number available and sizes.

Each top is machined, filed, sanded and shaped to perfection (as perfect as I can get by hand anyway). It's then finished and sealed with a metal oil.

Machined by hand from solid metals and material varieties.

Tops shown are NOT what you will be receiving...just giving you an idea.
