Princess bride goblets cast in food safe lead free pewter, now available! $380 for a pair, $220 ea., plus $20 shipping per order USA.

Aaaand, I'm throwing in something awesome... a tube of Iocane Powder!



It's made from a brown paper tube and an unused new cotton cigarette filter. The ones I'll be shipping you will have a new cigarette filter in the tube, but pictured is just a cotton ball.

For $400 you'll get a pair of goblets, iocane powder tube, and shipping in the US. Canada, add $10, elsewhere, contact me for a shipping quote.
For $240, you'll get a single goblet, Iocane powder tube, and shipping in the US.

Please sent payment as friends/family/gift on paypal to payments@custom3dstuff.com, or add 3.5% to cover the fee if you want to pay the way with buyer protection.

Once paid, I'll add your name to the official order list in the first post.

A note on the patina:
I looked into the patina a bit more, it turns out that you're not supposed to have food contact the chemically created patina. Therefore I'll not be applying the patina to the interior of the cup or the lid. Also pewter will develop a patina naturally, exacerbated by high temps and water in a dishwasher, over several washes. If you want me to not use the chemical at all when ordering, let me know.

There have been several of you following along my build thread recently (near the end of the hijacked "princess Bride goblets opinions on details" thread http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?p=3880823) and I've successfully cast a proof of concept goblet. Orders are shipping!

I'll take 2 thank you!

 

[Logan Cade]

Count me down for 2. Gotta have a set!

 

[Psicorp7]

I'll take 2 for sure! Nice work on the model and molding so far!

Hey thanks guys! I'm excited. I'm melting down the first two right now:

And just to be sure my source for pewter was lead free, I bought a 3M detection kit. Red means lead. I was worried at first because it turned purple, but the manual and internet say that purple means negative for lead and positive for tin. Pewter is more than 92% tin, and the rest is copper and sometimes antimony, so that makes sense. Hopefully I have a finished one with the patina for you all to see this afternoon!

Beautiful work! Unfortunately I have other commitments at the moment otherwise I'd definitely be getting a set. Perhaps you'll have some leftovers by the time I'm back in the market.

 

[Panaflex]

Fantastic! Have waited years for this. What do you think the delivery date might be?
Interested.

 

[Max Jenius]

Whatever you do, don't drink milk from a pewter cup. Just FYI

WOW! Great work!

Will this be an ongoing thing or limited? I just can't justify the money right now but in a couple months it's a definite possibility.

Sale thread!

After looking at the time it took me to pour, finish, sand down the bottom, patina etc. I'm going to charge $325 instead of $300 for the pair. I realize price changes are annoying, even small ones but I'm throwing in something awesome... a tube of Iocane Powder!

It's made from a brown paper tube and a cotton cigarette filter. The ones I'll be shipping you will have a new cigarette filter in the tube, but pictured is just a cotton ball.

A single one still is available for $180. I'm including a tube of iocane powder with the single one as well if anyone's going for that option.

The total for a set is $345 including shipping in the US and comes with two goblets and a tube of powder (paper tube, cotton plug, odorless tasteless powder) and priority shipping.

For $200, you'll get a goblet, Iocane powder, and shipping.

I'm accepting orders now and hope to ship before the end of march, but since I'm not a professional caster and am just learning this, I don't want to make guarantees or rush it. I was able to successfully produce the one seen in the pictures in this thread so I feel confident. Please send payment as friends/family/gift on paypal to payments@custom3dstuff.com, or add 3.5% to cover the fee if you want to pay the way with buyer protection.

Once paid, I'll add your name to the official order list in the first post. If like to order more material as soon as possible to get this process rolling.

I can't say for sure. I'll make what I can, but if the mold wears out and there's not enough interest to make a second mold it might not be worth it.

 

[Logan Cade]

Paypal on the way!

It's cool, just bad timing on my part. They look great and thanks for the reply. :thumbsup
