SUPER RAT MACHINE WORKS

the inaugural batch of S.R.M.W. pedals are finished! here are a few pics of what they look like…

spindle detail:

end cap:

the end cap proved to be a slight hurdle, it’s not necessary to the function of the pedal but i felt like it needed to be there to provide a finished look. and it’s a great spot for our little logo! we’re working on a “parts drawing” that will be included with the pedals that will illustrate how everything is assembled, as well as a sweet set of instructions.

another interesting decision has been packaging? i’m guessing that few people are interested in our products because of our packaging merits… but it can add cost and waste very easily. as a machine shop we try our best to be environmentally friendly, and as a machine shop that can be a difficult task. we recycle our aluminum chips, we’re switching to a more eco-friendly coolant. even purchasing domestic material plays a part since domestic aluminum mills are held to higher environmental standards than most would find in other countries. it’s a work in progress but we try to do our part. i think we’ve found a nice method of minimal and functional packaging. and of course it’s simple since i’m the one doing the work!
i’ll get some pics up soon of the packaging and included contents…
