I put it on ebay. I'm working on a second one now. Not sure how many more I can stand building. These may just be extremely limited edition mini baskets.

Hey now. You opened this can of worms. You are now morally obligated to make all of us baskets at $25 a pop. I don't make the rules.

Yeah, but my hand is killing me from all the cutting and bending. Almost got the second one done in just over two hours.

That looks so awesome, plus what else are you going to do during these winter months? Seriously though, good job, I like seeing things like this. I'd rather have these as trophies then those mass made Innova mini's

No. 2 is welded up. I was considering leaving it raw so I spent more time with the Dremel cleaning up the welds. Still far from perfect but it looks a little better. Now for the big question. Should I leave it raw, paint it silver like the first one, or go with gold paint and gold chains?

BTW. "IF" I do any more of these they will not be this intricate. I'm considering leaving off the nubs going over the top of the basket and switching the top to an Innova style band around the top.

NICE!

 

[lavon_andy]

Raw!

Make a proto non intricate, it would probably still sell if you could paint it right with the yellow band haha

GOLD!!

 

[Almighty_Ed]

Gold version. It's also about a half inch shorter than the first one.

 

[bdodson]

That is sweet

 

[General Scales]

Yeah I screwed up and moved the mini's into their own album on photobucket. The 5 min edit law needs revised.

awesomeness, can't even imagine attempting something like that, kudos

I have a microputt that I bought from a local in milwaukee, years ago. I believe he still sells them on ebay from time to time.

Your handcrafted baskets are the **** , his were more machine tooled.

 

[Almighty_Ed]

The gold one will go on ebay tonight. I need Roc 3's

 

[Almighty_Ed]

Well I never did sell the gold mini, however I did just list it on ebay. This will be your only chance to own 1 of 2 ever built. Linker... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hand-Made-Mini-Basket-Trophy-/131499885802?ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:1123
