    Pocketnaut Update!

    August 12, 2024 /

    We are excitedly in the process of changing out the black plastic in the injection machine to yellow for the upcoming Yellow and Dark Grey Pocketnaut release!

    July 24, 2024 /

    This video shows how I made a realistic but relatively safe prop hatchet, for film or theatrical use. A goal with this video was to use only materials I had left in the shop, so there are alternative materials (potentially better) that you can use.
