Hi all!

Long time lurker/learner here. Just signed up, thought I would start interacting with folks. :) I'm not a fast cuber by any means. Learned the basic solves, and then started doing F2L, I can get that down pretty good. At the moment I'm learning some of the easier algs for OLL and PLL. Even without knowing those, my solves are in around the minute range. Would love to get to 30s, but I think it will be a while.

I'm so interested in cubing that I made my own cube out of aluminum, brass, and steel, probably not legal in competition, but it looks neat, and moves pretty fast. It took me 18 months by hand (on a mill, non-CNC). I've patented it in the USA, and will file internationally in the next day or so! Currently talking to a manufacture here to see what it'll cost to mass produce them.

Anyway, cheers!

Wow, that's really cool! How did you make it?
 
Will you be going to the Diamond Bar Spring competition this weekend? If you are I would love to try this cube :) welcome
 
Hey! I can't do the Diamond Bar Comp this weekend, prior plans.. I'm hoping to go to at least one cubing event this year, I just don't know which one! I have a friend that's into cubing too, so we might go together for a day in the future..

Here's my shop, a little dark. I hope the pictures show up.

I'll try and get some video up of a solve of this cube in the near future!
