Workshop Sale

Parts from earlier anodizing runs, released now and then, with the color difference shown up front.

Every color we anodize varies a little from run to run. Now and then we release parts from an earlier run here, at a lower price. Every part works perfectly.

Color is anodized into the metal.

Three things make one run differ from the next.

  1. Every rack is done by hand

    Each profile is racked by hand and held in the tank. Immersion time, liquid and temperature shift from rack to rack, so no two racks come out identical.

  2. Bright colors show it most

    Most of our colors are mixed rather than drawn from one fixed bath. A profile's shape changes how it takes the color, and the brighter the color, the more the difference shows.

  3. Time keeps working on the surface

    Oxygen and moisture shift an anodized surface slightly over the years. An early run reads a little differently from last month's, and neither one is wrong.

Marked, boxed and protected.

Nothing here was damaged in transit, and none of the color difference came from shipping.

So how different is it, really?

Out of the box

Two Titanium Mist profiles from different runs, under one light. The left is slightly cooler. This is the worst case.

Once assembled

The same finishes on a built rig. About twenty parts at different angles read as one object.

More visible out of the box. Far less noticeable once assembled.

Owners add to a rig over time, a bracket here, a plate there. That leaves a warehouse holding parts from different runs, which is why they are sold here as their own batch.

Better you see it here, with time to decide, than for the first time on your desk.

This batch: 11 complete sets.

Each set is a complete 282. Any part in a different color is listed under the set, and the price already reflects it.
