New 1/4" acrylic ball colors

I just got these in this morning, so I'll need to photograph them before they're added to the site, BUT just wanted to let you know that we now have 2 new colors of UV glitter balls - clear with red glitter and clear with gold glitter. They both look fantastic and will be available for our industrial barbells and more. In related news, the purple UV 1/4" acrylic balls that were restocked this morning are a great shade, much more of a true purple as opposed to the slightly reddish purple we had before.

Randomness

If you add our website to your "favorites" list you'll now have a little tiny Maelstrom swirl logo beside it - go out to the main page - http://www.maelstromstudiolab.com and try it-

That and we're going to be getting some new stone plugs in very soon. Stay tuned.

Also - I can't stand the way the first page of our website looks, if I get other more pressing things done this weekend, look for a redesign. a good friend of mine FINALLY convinced me that CSS is not the devil, so we'll see

Meet "OBE"

Yes, meet "OBE" that's short for "Order By Example". I'll be adding OBE pages for a number of our custom items, starting with the Industrial Barbells. Basically, if someone needs an idea for a barbell, or is overwhelmed by the prospect of picking out the material, color, design, etc. for their barbell, and THEN choosing from over 45 options for ends, OBE can help. Or something like that. What it'll be is a page of our most popular and commonly ordered custom industrial barbells, plus several that we just think look super cool. From there you pick the completed design and the length you need. What I'd like from you all right now would be suggestions of your favorite barbell designs we have on the site -
if you need a refresher - here's the current design-your-own Industrials page:

So either leave a comment here, or email me maelstrom@maelstromstudiolab.com and we'll see about featuring your favorite on the OBE page for Industrial Barbells. And don't worry, we'll ALWAYS have the design your own pages available. But note this, there will be some barbells that are ONLY availabe on the OBE pages - watch for crazy new ends!
