    Greetings Pinsiders,

    This is the premier of my gemstone shooter rods.

    As a trained and degreed artist, I have worked on many projects. I cannot remember being more satisfied with the results of my work than I am with these shooter rods.

    $57 (all shooters priced individually - Check the post with picture for price) shipped to the continental USA - As correctly guessed by pinside member "asay" in our guess game.
    PM for price to Canada.....

    20150316_234110.jpg20150316_234110.jpg

    I have 4 total right now. More styles and colors coming up.

    Here is a description of the shooter rods.

    Picture Jasper (beige/light brown)
    SOLD - White Turquoise (white)
    SOLD - Red Mahogany Obsidian (black and red - looks blood red from the picture but more of a rust red in person - FYI)
    SOLD - Dark blue-green/black Jasper stone (Blue and black are the rarer colors for Jasper, this is a rare color. It has golden yellow stripes)

    The size of the ball is 1.6" or about the size of a ping-pong ball.

    These are the first ones ever made....by me, and one of a kind.

    They are show stoppers! Beautiful and should last the lifetime of your machine. Shall we say that they are "rock-solid". They are real stone and look so good that they almost look like they are not the real thing, but they are the real thing. Made by the twisting movement, heat, and millions of years of pressure of the earth.

    They are not easy to make and take a long time. Made with the same tools used in the industrial revolution, right here in the USA.

    Spend 1% - 2% of the cost of your super fine pinball machine and add something that is older than you and your pinball. (You didn't think that would happen.)

    Thanks for looking.

    ----------------

    Information about jasper stone.

    The name jasper is derived from the Greek and means "spotted stone".

    The finely grained, dense jasper contains up to 20 percent foreign materials, which determine its color, streak, and appearance. Uniformly colored jasper is rare, usually it is multicolored, striped, or flamed.

    Jasper, an aggregate of microquartz and/or chalcedony and other mineral phases,is an opaque, impure variety of silica, usually red, yellow, brown or green in color; and rarely blue. The common red color is due to iron(III) inclusions.

    Green jasper was used to make bow drills in Mehrgarh between 4th and 5th millennium BC. Jasper is known to have been a favorite gem in the ancient world; its name can be traced back in Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Assyrian, Greek and Latin. On Minoan Crete, jasper was carved to produce seals circa 1800 BC, as evidenced by archaeological recoveries at the palace of Knossos.

    Why PM for price? How much are they?

    #3 9 years ago
    Quoted from shlockdoc:

    Why PM for price? How much are they?

    Presumably $50-100 or so? If you take his % comment. I agree, just post the price. If it's too much people don't have to buy it, but putting up a barrier to buyers is only going to hurt your sales in the end.

    Don't be afraid to charge what your time and effort are worth, and let others see if the value is there for them.

    #4 9 years ago

    I am interested.....

    #5 9 years ago

    Okay. Let's play a game. If you guys guess the price, I will reveal and give the correct guesser $5 off if they order a shooter rod.

    #6 9 years ago

    Probably should play correct within a buck or two.

    I'm guessing $25.

    #7 9 years ago

    No. Sorry.

    Quoted from Collin:Probably should play correct within a buck or two.
    I'm guessing $25.

    #8 9 years ago

    $75.

    Don't know if I'd get one, but they really do seem awesome.

    #14 9 years ago

    Damn. Don't tempt me. If I can guess again, $60.

    #15 9 years ago

    Well, I really don't know. hours. The first ones are always really hard to do because you don't have the systems down and perfected for time. There is also the time that people don't think about like the time it takes to source supplies.

    I am hoping that as time goes on it will take less time to do.

    Quoted from TheCnyPinGuy:

    The first post of a silly hat can have my $5 discount.

    #43 9 years ago

    I'd love to know more about your process, how are you making these? What kind of gemstones can you use?

    #44 9 years ago

    Will you offer any yellow or blue ones?

    #45 9 years ago

    I don't have the money right now, but I do think this is both unique and that isn't a terrible price for it at all.

    Man, what the heck has gotten into me lately - I don't generally like mods on my machines, and today I really liked two different ones that I have seen. Good job!

    I think these would look great on just about anything. They remind me of the Williams 'ball' plungers, and those things look great.

    #46 9 years ago

    Yes. I have a KILLER blue one coming out. I'll get to work on that one next.

    Quoted from Blitzburgh99:

    Will you offer any yellow or blue ones?

    #47 9 years ago

    Wow, those look great! Looking forward to seeing the blue one.

    #48 9 years ago

    Thanks - Kids have an Easter egg hunt/cook out on Saturday, but I hope to knock a few out on Sunday and have them up on Wednesday next week.

    Quoted from jawjaw:Wow, those look great! Looking forward to seeing the blue one.

    Two more shooter rods are done.

    One would be great for Theatre of Magic and the other for Cirqus Voltaire.

    They came out awesome! One is an orange swirl glass that has "tiger" colors the other is purple gemstone with lightning looking striations in it. It is a showstopper.

    Anywho. The orange one is $52 shipped in the USA, (The orange is now sold) PM about Canada shipping price.

    $60 shipped in the USA for the purple. (The purple is now sold)

    See picture below.
