The Trigger Movie

I was asked to do something like this, and I was happy to oblige.

I enjoyed that. And it had a pleasant sound track.

Your triggers are incredible.

You have to go through them video by video, but it was a really cool thing to watch. He takes you through the whole process of making one.

EDIT: Slow on the draw

Absolutely amazing. Yeah that silver one with gold flames is just stunning!

thanks for the blackness!

also, on some of those triggers it looks like you have jewels on them? are those actual jewels or fake jewels? and the one with the red jewel, i wish i had money for

holy crap, the details on some of those are amazing. The craftsmanship is on all of them.

You are cool!!!

Even your videos are cool.

You should come out to California, because I want to be your friend.

Really nice video man, great music and awesome craftmanship. Keep it up!

[Maghog]

Thanks guys,
This was actually a lot of fun to do. I made the music a while back already, and I just found it fit right. I was originally asked to just do some sharper images of the triggers seen in my workshop on another video, but I thought it would be cool to put together a little collection.

There's a few of them on there, and I only realized then that there are hundreds of them out there.
The really fun part is when I go through the archives and find stuff that I had completely forgotten about and I have to wonder how I did it.
It's all really fun to do, and fun to share. Thanks for your compliments, they mean a lot to me.

Know what? The materials are not what makes these triggers cost what they do, it's the labor.
Those are real cabuchon garnets and saphires in those triggers, and no stone costs more than 5 bucks.
I have expensive stones too, but I don't use them on triggers much.
Silver is also relatively cheap. I could make a trigger out of copper, bronze, iron, aluminum, nickel, brass, pretty much any metal besides gold or platinum(and by default mercury(although, if you froze it and then carved it, it might work, but the paintballs probably wouldn't like it)and not have a difference in price because of the materials.

I know my stuff is really expensive, and I wish it were not so many more of you could use it. But this is my path, and I'm taking it. I charge 25$ and hour and I work hard to make a good product.
I'm not going to change that.
