CUSTOM MADE for KEITH RICHARDS

NOW ! FOR  SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

Some years ago I was working at my bench
in our Covent Garden workshop.
It was just a regular day, when a good friend
from New York popped in to say Hi!
I  ve known Pierre for many years.
We traded guitars and amps since the 80's.
Anyway , Pierre is looking at the iems on my bench
when he spots a knife that I had started
customising.
I had a plain black blade and had started to carve a
handle for it.
As it was just a piece I was "messing around" with
It was far from being finished.
Pierre said
" I know someone who would love this"
I knew who he meant of course!
I explain this was just a rough idea but I could
make a "proper" knife.
So I designed a blade and contacted Wilkinson swords
to make a custom  blade for me.

It took me about a year to carve the handle....
My idea was,,,
Life /Death
Man /Woman
Human/Animal
Plants/Flowers.
Eventually I collected the blade and box from Wilkinson swords
and spend a few more hours assembling the piece.

Approx knife length 40cm

NEW ANIMAL RINGS DESIGNS /CAT ring and DOG ring

It s raining cat's & dogs!

Back by public demand are two of my old designs
that had been unavailable for many years.
THE BOXER RING and THE CAT RING

BOXER RING 24mm tall X 22.5mm wide

CAT RING 17mm tall X 15.5 mm wide
 

Despite being reknown for as a skull ring designer
over the years I have made many animal rings.
From Rhinos , Elephants, Tigers, Wolves,
Snakes, Lions, Dolphins, Sharks,Gorillas,Goats.
Frogs. Pigs and many many more,
These two designs appeared to have been favourites
and I thought it was high time to reintroduce them
to our expended range of ANIMAL RINGS.

Like all our designs these are the original first
generation pieces, made from the original masters and
recarved in 2013 to get maximum  detail.
As always everyone of the original pieces has
the ZIG ZAG signature inside the ring
as seen unerneath our skull logos hown here.

DUSK UNTIL DAWN / DUSK TIL DAWN

Here's a a Custom one off ring we just
completed for a friend..
There was
No budget imformation
No specific design just the phrase
DUSK TIL DAWN
and worse of all
only 2 weeks to make it!

But One will do anything for a good friend!

Based on graffitti style lettering we cut these out
of a solid piece of 18 carat yellow gold.
The ring itself is sterling silver with a rough texture
To add effect and contrast we coated the ring with black rhodium.
The DUSK TIL DAWN words are actually
curved underneath and soldered on each of the corner
to the ring itself.
So you can actually look underneath the words all the way round.
LIKE IT!

ALVIN LEE of TEN YEARS AFTER

Very sad news this Sunday morning
ALVIN LEE guitarist, singer, songwriter
past away in Spain after a routine hospital operation.

Alvin Lee was the main reason I wanted to play guitar
After watching the movie Woodstock.
even though Jimi Hendrix was the main attraction
In my opinion ALVIN LEE stole the show
with his amazing version of
I'M GOING HOME
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW5M5xljdCI.

Even today, watching this footage
Alvin Lee will simply blow you away.

ALVIN LEE was and will always be a GUITAR  LEGEND
I will miss him .............

JIMI HENDRIX ,People Hell & Angels

Check out the latest copy of Classic Rock magazine
It comes with a CD of JIMI HENDIX called
People . Hell & Angels.

One of our earliest customers that became a great friend
was MITCH MITCHELL drummer with JH Experience.
Here he is on one early visit at CRAZY PIG DESIGNS
exchanging stories with Jeannette.

At the time I told Mitch that I had purchased a double Ludwig drum kit
and he asked me if I mind him coming around to my place
to have a practice.
Did I MIND??????????
So later on that evening he was bashing away at the kit in a room next to
my kitchen while Jeannette prepared dinner.
The crazy woman that lived next door kept on banging at the front door
complaing about the noise!
I told her..............
Its not NOISE it's MITCH MITCHELL
