Alright guys, I'm going to go out on a limb here,lol. Has anybody seen the Spider shift *****? They have a real Black widow spider encased in the top of them, and they can come in any color. They used to have a website www.spidershiftknobs.com, but it is no longer active. I have been looking for one of these, since they are unique, and cannot find any whatsoever. BTW, all these shift ***** are cool!

I can do the same thing if I had a Black widow spider! In fact, a guy at work asked me to encapsulate a Puerto Rican flag in his red shift **** and it came out really nice. However, keeping the embedded item in the correct orientation can be a bit tricky. Here it is:

That's cool looking! The spider was encapsulated in the top of the shifter, with the shift **** being a solid color rather than transparent.

Here is a white one that I found!

Jake,

I did make a couple of ***** with the C5 flag lapel pin in them:
Here's a sky blue one:

However, it's a bit difficult getting all the bubbles out with this shape and because the shape is circular (and the **** is not symmetrical), orienting the lapel pin perfectly is not without tribulations. I really need to come up with tooling that will make this easier. In the meantime, I do have some "blems" and other ***** (including this one, bubbles and all - $15) that you can find in the "**** Sale" section of my web site.

I do have a red one that has a few bubbles near the top - check it out!

Dave

Joe, its www.conceptualpolymer.com

Jake, I'll get in touch with you today. It looks like the add-on sale stuff doesn't tie-in directly to the normally-priced stuff. I'll see if I can straighten that out ASAP.

Thanks,

Dave
