Shrunken Quarter Necklace

After many months of designing, engineering, prototype-building and planning, we are finally shrinking quarters with Project Stomper!

The quarters are shrunk with impressive power behind them: 6,000 volts and 100,000 amperes.

After the process- which happens in less than 1/100th of a second – the quarters are now about the width of a dime, although significantly thicker.

Shipping is free on this item- anywhere in the world! You will receive one shrunken quarter (which all vary slightly, due to the hand-winding process for shrinking),  along with a small, frame-able poster describing Stomper and the process that made your new shrunken quarter.

This necklace is an amazing combination of science and aesthetic. Talk about a pendant she’s never seen before!

This is for ONE shrunken quarter necklace. It comes with a necklace chain.

Price: $30.00

Maple Whistle

When the Geek Group moved into the Leonard Street Lab facilities in December of 2010, one of the most immediate projects that presented itself was removing the Rock Maple flooring that was in the old basketball court, which is now the Main Demonstration Hall. The maple was pretty fantastic- MFMA Grade AA Rock Maple, as good as it gets for one of Michigan’s most famous trees. Harvested in  1975, this wood has a growth and grain that is not so common anymore.

This whistle is deceptive. It may be small and sleek,  but it packs quite the punch. Our testing around Geek HQ got Omni the Wonderdog to run up to the whistle every time we used it! (She is pretty happy we’re done testing.)

A common trait amongst geeks is a love for gadgets that are multipurpose. This clever little keychain has a secret- it holds a small tube that is perfect for a $20 note, or maybe some extra breath mints or medication.

This keychain has a very modern, sleek design to it. The walnut has been sourced by a Geek Group member, of local Michigan walnut lumber.

Your keychain may vary slightly, because all wood is unique.

Two-Tone Hidden Keychain

A common trait amongst geeks is a love for gadgets that are multipurpose. This clever little keychain has a secret- it holds a small tube that is perfect for a $20 note, or maybe some extra breath mints or medication.

The keychain has a pretty bulb shape to it and is made out of two woods. One of them is the infamous rock maple from The Geek Group’s Leonard Street Labs and the other half is an exotic wood of our choice.

Because wood has a lot of character, each piece will vary slightly.

Spalted Ash & Fir Pendant

This pendant started out as a defect, cast aside for the burn pile in a cabinet factory. We deemed it far too exceptional, as you can clearly see two trees had grown together into a single log. One tree was Ash and the other Fir. Between the two is a little bark and an exceptional wood trait called spalting, which gives it the character and beauty that holds the eye so much.

Because the wood was extremely delicate, each pendant has been fully submersed in epoxy resin (it took more than 6 coats!) so that it has the strength of plastic but the beauty of wood. As a bonus, this means that it can not only withstand hanging on a necklace but is fairly resistant to the rough & tumble lifestyle so many of us lead. It can get wet and is very easy to clean with just a damp cloth.

The pendant comes on a leather cord for easy wearing, but it could be easily swapped out onto your favourite chain, if you wanted. The cord is measured long (see the last picture) so that you can adjust the length to whatever you want.

These are made in extremely small batches (this batch had eight) and each piece has its own special charm and beauty.

The pendant is a little over 2 inches in diameter and a little more than a quarter inch thick.

Wood Chalice

This wooden cup was turned lovingly at The Geek Group’s HQ out of a piece of lumber that was harvested by another Michigan Geek Group member. We’re pretty sure it is mulberry – and it is rock hard. It is the perfect size for a table centrepiece, perhaps filled with candy or ornaments.

It is not recommended to use it for consuming food.

This chalice is full of character that keeps appearing as you study it. The major change in colour is due to a live edge retention that brought out the absolute beauty of this lumber.
