This is as far as we are going to get right now. This system is really good. Far better than I had anticipated. Good chance we fancy this up and offer it to all of yooze! Hope you can start to see the idea!

Last post of the day. This is the coolest pattern I have ever made. I really hope this pic does it justice

there is so much going on with it, I cannot get the right lighting to really show it. Pics are not even close to do this justice

One of this things I enjoy the most about being a maker is when other makers come along side and give unsolicited help. I have gotten this a lot lately. This post is to give a special thanks to Jason Hui from Prometheus LightsFolks, if you have not checked out this man’s work, you need to. He is one of the pioneers of the Precision Spinning Tops and makes a ton of cool EDC products. Here is a link to his website: https://darksucks.com/…

Here are two of them! These are finished!! Hope you like them!!

A little better shot of this one

I don’t remember ever struggling this much to show off the details of a product. Even this looks horrible. SO many facets you turn on the lights and hot spots everywhere. Frustrating

springs are going to be here tomorrow. Working really hard on a good video for this. Taking up all my time. We are also working on some new machining techniques which is also taking up my time. We are still on schedule though and will offer a smaller drop (roughly 25) on Oct 14th noon central. We will do weekly drops of these for a while. All the info you will need will be in the video. Hoping to upload it this Friday!

Give you a little taste…

10/8/20

Need help! Is there anything specific you want to see covered in the Gambit video? This will be the official release video and I want to make sure I explain the product completely. Sometimes I get stuck in a rut assuming people know everything about a product. Any suggestions would be appreciated

wait until you see the third coin design…

I actually did this on…a computer… I feel dirty…

I feel dirty

Here it is! Let me know if you have any Questions

10/13/20

Good morning beautiful people! I am attempting to get some custom foam packaging for the Gambit. This can be challenging because some will order multiple components. I am going to pursue it though but tomorrow’s sale will ship in standard packaging. I am not worried about it being protected but I just think it would be cool to have some foam inside the box made specifically for the Gambit!
If anyone has any questions about tomorrow’s sale let me know! Have yourselves a wonderful Tuesday!!

10/14/20

Thank you all for the amazing support! Looks like the convex sold out first then stemless and lastly flat bottom. 700 line manual program coin sold out (much appreciated!). This gives me an idea on how to move forward. All these orders will ship today! Can’t wait to see some pics of them after you get them. More drops will be happening in the coming weeks. Thank you again and have an amazing rest of your week!

Gambit baby yeah!

We are machining this drop now and will offer what I can. All three bodies and all three coins will be available. Coming tomorrow Oct 16th noon central https://www.billetspin.com/gambit2

10/16/20

Jeepers!! Crazy fast sellout on the bodies!! We will do another drop on Wednesday! Thanks again all 🙂

We are working hard on making upping the quantities on next Wednesday’s release. These just take quite a bit of time to make. We will be offering a few new variations as well. New variations can mean machining variations OR material variations OR both. We are getting low on springs and just emailed our supplier to see if we can get the next order in sooner. Doing all we can for you all! Thanks for the amazing support and really appreciate your patience! Have a wonderful weekend!

Looks like some Gambits might be delivered today!!

Let’s have some fun! I will give away one Gambit. Reply with which body/coin you want and what you like most about the Gambit and I will pick a winner Monday!

10/19/20

Congrats to Paulo Almeida on winning the Gambit! Please message Sue Stadler with your shipping info as well as the combo you would like. You can pick from the ones available as well as the on in the video from the contest. Thanks all for playing! I wanted to do a live video but our connection lately has been bad.

Who’s ready for the next Gambit release? Copper you say…

10/21/20

Just a reminder of today’s drop!! New body design and some copper coins along with some OG Gambits. Noon central today!

I got no words for this. THANK YOU all for the amazing sellout…AGAIN!! Bodies only lasted minutes, convex went first then stemless then flat bottom. We are getting really low on springs now but I have enough to do another drop this Friday OCT 23rd and for all you international buyers we are starting the sale at 10pm central! I will offer what I can and orders placed Friday will ship on Monday.

I am working hard on some big Gambit news so fingers crossed. The feedback has been extraordinary so we are trying to push the envelope that this connection system has to offer. More details to come. I apologize for our connection being bad and not being able to do live video’s. I will work on getting that fixed right away.

Thanks again and have a great rest of your week!!

Gambit update! I had an order of 500 more springs in and upped it to 1500. They are hoping to get me a partial in 2 weeks. I am running short on bodies but I will offer some this friday night at 10pm central www.billetspin.com. The rest will be offered next wednesday noon central. We have a decent supply of coins and will continue to run those.

The biggest issue we have is that coin #2 is the most popular and that runs on the same machine as the bodies. They are running non-stop so we are doing our best to keep the flow of these going! Fingers crossed we have the springs in time for the drop in 2 weeks.

Moving forward, I plan to introduce 1-3 new variations every Wednesday. These can be either material or machining variations or both. If the quick sellouts continue to happen then we will continue with the friday drops which will mimic the wednesday drops as far as offerings but will be smaller in qty.

Behind the scenes, we have a TON of stuff going on so I appreciate your patience. We will continue to run the Gambit here until I can build a big enough inventory to be able to offer these for quite some time. Once that happens we will move onto the next project. The Gambit will not be discontinued for the foreseeable future!

Lastly, some of the patterns don’t work in some materials. For example, Coin #2 will not be offered in Copper. Coin #4 will not be offered in Tungsten. The machining/tooling is just not a good fit for some patterns. As I get better at this design, I will be able to create patterns that are more conducive to being made from all materials. Will I be using exotics? Possibly, probably, fingers crossed. We won’t know that for a bit yet though.

Ok this really is the final point lol. If you want to help us out tremendously, post pics and vids of the Gambit to social media. This product has definitely got interest from people outside the normal market. The more people that find out about it, the more we can grow our community. Thanks 🙂

New coin design we are working on. One more tweak and I think we got it!

finished! Hoping to have some of these available for Wednesday’s drop! Don’t forget about tonight’s 10pm drop!

Well what do you think? Dropping some of these next Wednesday!

10/24/20

Thanks again for another quick sellout! For those of you that missed out, once we get the new spring order in we will increase the quantities of the drops. We are running very low on bodies and will offer up the last of everything we have this Wednesday. Doubt we will have a Friday release next week and fingers crossed the springs are here for the Nov 4th release.

10/26/20

Wednesday’s drop: Edit-springs are on their way so we can up the body quantities! More good news…TUNGSTEN coins!

Tungsten coins:
Design #2-$45
Design #1-$45

Bronze coin:
Design #2-$25

SS Spade Coin (This has been changed, see pic for new version)-$25

These will be dropping Wednesday, Oct 28th noon central
www.billetspin.com

GOOD NEWS! Looks like the springs will be arriving tomorrow or Wednesday. This means I can up the quantities of the bodies for the Oct 28th release. Might take up to a week to ship though. This will make it much easier to get a body 🙂

10/27/20

Who’s ready?

just a reminder, in 2 hours, we got the biggest Gambit drop we have ever had by far! This is your chance! 6 SS bodies, TUNGSTEN coins, Bronze coins, SS coins, new Spade pattern coin, oh baby! We will begin shipping…TODAY! www.billetspin.com

50 minutes…

Well we definitely gave everyone enough time to get what they wanted this drop 🙂 Thank you spring supplier!! This was a major drop so I am sure these will be around a while yet. More exciting things to come for the Gambit!! Thanks all once again for the amazing support, means so much to all of us here at BilletSPIN.

Let’s have some fun! You all draw up a coin design and post it in the replies. I will pick the best one on Monday and make it and that person gets one free! This is your chance to experience the joy of being a maker! Can’t wait to see what you got 🙂 You can just draw something on a napkin, take a pic and post it. One entry per person so make it good!
