Turbo 6 logo jewelry... Anyone make a tie tack?

[420]

Well, with my new promotion, my *&#$&* job is making me wear a tie. Gawd I hate these things. Anyway, it keeps flopping around while I'm working, so I'm going to need a tie tack, and I figure, why not a spiffy turbo 6 one.

Well, I went and looked on the intArweb, but there does not appear to be any to be found. So, does anyone here have any idea where to go get one made? Or even some nice turbo 6 gold charms that I could have a local jeweler make into a tie tack....

Thanks in advance folks!

how much do you want to spend? (fair warning! )

I could make you a fairly nice one out of my standard 2-plex -in color- for not too much. Would look pretty nice I'd think!

I could make one out of brass too, either solid or it could be painted.

Well, I'm more concerned about looks than saving a buck. My only issue is that my ties tend to have lots of vibrant colors in them (think flames, tribal designs, dragons, etc), so I was thinking a textured gold tie tack would stand out a bit better. But if you can give me an idea of what it would look like, I could certainly use several tie tacks

textured gold, cool...tomorrow at work, I'll see what I can put together to give you an idea of what I can do...

There used to be some guy on eBay that had a ton of little GN logos that he would glue to ANYTHING. I even had a GN ID bracelet for a while

Give it a look, he might have one. Personally I would go with BFH though. Every part I have on my car from you guys is a hell of a lot classier than that ID Bracelet.

Yeah, Mark hasn't let me down yet, so I'm waiting to see what he's got

Talk to Orlando, he makes jewelry, maybe he can hook you up. I think he only deals in 14-18-22K gold though...

There's an idea... forgot about that too

Lemme see what Mark comes up with. Nothing wrong with multiple tie tacks

P.S. - You folks going to be up in Orlando for the Street Nationals?

So far, looks like its a go for Orlando...

barring any unforseen complications on the final touches for Reynolds.

Here's a couple of pics of the first article...

Still have to tweak the tooling pass and the cutout; the tooling cut is too wide and rough, and the cutout is offset a bit too far...Anyway, it really looks better in person!

That, sir, is EXACTLY what I had in mind

You are the MAN!

Let me know when to place my order

Kevin is a master of his domain. I think I am going to get him a gift certificate for a manicure this Christmas though. Wish he would get his wife to be his hand model.

We'll have these on the site as soon as Kevin says they are ready.
