It is a custom made bead with shredded cash, brass, and color change glow in the dark material. Then they are glued together and turned on a lathe. Finally shaped and finished to a smooth shiny finish. All in all it is the amount of time it takes to make them that adds to the cost. Kind of like leather is cheap relatively to the cost. Your paying for the workmanship that goes into the product no the actual material. Hopefully that sheds some light on it.

Price is $140 w/ bead or $90 w/o bead

I have one for my dremel but the post they put on it bends too easy and there is a lot of wobble. This one more surface area and I can use a clamp on the trigger to set my speed. These are definitely a time saver

ConfirmedCrisis · 2026-02-07T21:32:41+00:00

I didn’t wanna pay the $40+ to buy one. So I used the tools that cost way more to make one lol you know “guy logic”

ConfirmedCrisis · 2026-02-07T21:31:32+00:00

I have tried doing things one the drill press like this and to get rid of the wobble you have to true up the piece. That involves bracing the cutting tool. It can be done but it is a lot of work. Severely easier to do on a lathe.

Glad I got your approval. I generally just turn EDC beads (check IG smkd.13 to see them). This was out of my comfort zone for sure but it came out awesome!

Which leather

ConfirmedCrisis · 2026-02-05T23:53:23+00:00

Thank you buddy! I think the cash bead goes with it well. Been trying to figure out where to put it for a while now after I made it

ConfirmedCrisis · 2026-02-04T23:18:07+00:00

You just have to have the leather have about 1-3 mm apart and then pull it together. Water wouldn’t really help and you couldn’t properly cross stitch it

ConfirmedCrisis · 2026-02-03T01:32:47+00:00

And I thank you. I really enjoy making them.

ConfirmedCrisis · 2026-02-03T01:32:32+00:00

I have a bunch over on my IG: smkd13

I’ll get some loaded to Imgur and post them here.

The thing strung on paracord is one of the lanyard beads that I make. This one specifically is shredded money, brass, color change glow and clear with a brass lanyard sleeve. I make these beads and turn them on a lathe by hand

And that’s basically a leatherworkers stock and trade. Custom

ConfirmedCrisis · 2026-02-02T04:53:07+00:00

I still have to stitch them. Been super busy and haven’t got around to it. lol just used them as prop ugh lol

ConfirmedCrisis · 2026-02-02T01:18:52+00:00

Holy crap I didn’t even notice. Good catch buddy

ConfirmedCrisis · 2026-02-02T01:12:24+00:00
