The next Bathgate sculpture will be available for pre-order on Friday. $1,200:

"So, it is many things, it is a container (but a rather small one), but it is also a lanyard style bead (a rather large and impractical one) with a through bore to receive a piece of paracord. It could be worn sagemono style when paired with a second lanyard bead (obi analogue) and a carabiner (netsuke analog), something other machinist in the community could easily contribute to this project on. Those of you who machine or collect rings, you can use it as a ring box (something we have tested). Or use it as a snuffbox (something we have not tested), what ever you like. I am sure many of you will come up with interesting uses.

That the work has such flexibility in what it can be used for opens the door to additional collaboration with makers in the future. I am looking forward to seeing how it is interpreted by others in the machinist community.'





Not sure if GIFs work:

That is incredible!

Those fat pins on the lid remind me of the door on a bank vault, which is appropriate because after you fork over $1,200 on it, all of your spare change will probably fit in it (with room to spare for your extra Chuck E Cheese tokens).

My old Fisher Price bank has Chuck E Cheese tokens and tickets in it.

I actually thought it was gonna be a lot more than $1,200 when I first saw it. It may be tiny in size, but it looks really complex with a lot of machined parts to it. Plus, it involved three different individuals teaming up to make it, and that always drives up the price.

The first 25 sold out in less than 7 minutes. You can still sign up to be on the lottery list for the final 25.

Which one of you will be ponying up the $100m+ it'll take to bring this Da Vinci home?

Another Bathgate pocket sculpture is coming out. Not really sure what it does other than make ratchet noises:

You know? what the heck, I’m ahead of schedule. Introducing “The Bathgate Ratchet!” A First look at the new kinetic pocket sculpture I have been developing. Its got a really satisfying detent ratcheting mechanism that rotates the inner geometry in one direction as you butterfly the outer bits. Really proud of how I could get this all working without compromising a single design decision. It is also lanyard-able with a 1/4” bore. Preorder date to be announced soon. #pocket #sculpture #makeartnotparts #edc #lanyardbead #art #lanyard #beads #cnc #machinedart #mechanical #engineering #design #maker #fidgetspinner #notreally #fineart #decorativeart #intersecting #methods #makersgonnamake #metalart #industrialdesign #chrisbathgate

If that's a 1/4" bore, then it's got to be at least two inches across. Any idea how big it is Oak?

Unfortunately the dimensions haven't been released, but the sculpture looks as big as a small peach.

$450M for Salvatore Mundi. Wow. The $100M estimate looks pretty good right now.

Not sure how much it'll be, but I'm sure it'll be pricey.

Wow, even at $1,350 each, they still sold out. There’s no stopping Chris Bathgate these days.

$350k for an original Beethoven manuscript? Seems kinda low estimate. But then again, with buyer’s premium it’ll be over $400k:
