Hello from Gothic Punk Specialty Hardware,
This week, we are adding a solid metal cuff to the catalog.
It took a little while to get the design down, but the result is pretty cool we think. First off, here are a couple of pictures of the cuff which are linked to its page on the website:

The cuff is cut from 3/16" thick Aluminum pipe, machined into 4 hinged pieces. It is 2 1/2" wide and about 2 1/2 inches in diameter depending on the size ordered. The cuff's closure mechanism is a pair of thumb screws - not the kind used for torture - it just means you can screw them in and out with your fingers. The result as you can see is a solid metal cuff that is right in line with the cyber/ industrial aesthetic.
We will be adding at least two other versions to the catalog probably next week. One will have drill holes allowing you to attach spikes to the cuff, and the other will have some cut out shapes machined into the panel to give it a different kind of look.
I really wanted to try to design a cuff that would retail in about the $20 range, but after actually designing one, the cost has turned out to be $35. That's still a pretty reasonable price I think. The one with drill holes for spikes, and the one with cutouts will probably about $5 more once they're up on the site.
Anyhow, thats the big news for this week from GothicPunkSpecialtyHardware-
Thanks a lot for your interest - Ben C - owner/designer
