FRANKENCUTTERS WISHES YOU ALL A SAFE AND PEACEFUL HOLIDAY SEASON!

NEWS FROM FRANKENCUTTERS!

Okay, here's the deal... I'm trying to phase into retirement and cut back to mostly operating just one business. (My other business is technical writing for the aviation industry, which has just gotten a lot busier). So the cookie cutter and cake pan/cake mold business is for sale. I've been in discussion with a very good commercial customer. It may work out or it may not (update, it didn't). Either way, I'm getting very low on copper and aluminum sheets, and I don't want to buy another $1,000 worth of copper that I may not need.

Sale of this business would include all the hand tools, special tools & fixtures, bending jigs, materials, and a whole lot of documentation showing just how all the FrankenCutter products are made. I'd hope that a buyer would come to beautiful Ludington for a good long time, so I could be sure the buyer learned everything needed to take over this fun business.

Here's a link to most of the tools, fixtures and materials: frankencutters stuff for sale

And this link is to the workshops and tools: workshop history and tools

Anyway, stay tuned, I'll keep you all posted on developments...

Read this first ==> How to request info or a quote

All items hand-crafted to your specifications, right here in Michigan

You can simply say "1972 Volkswagen Beetle, make it 5 inches wide", or you can send us a side-view photo of yours. Send it by email, fax, or regular mail. (If the design is copyrighted, I need permission in writing from the owner of the copyright). For most shapes, though, it's best if you send us your preferred shape as a .jpg graphics file. Please DO NOT SEND .PDF's or .DOC's. as it take me a bunch of time to convert them to .jpegs.

Small quantities are no problem

As few as one, as many as a dozen. Sorry, but as everything is individually handcrafted, I can't do wholesale pricing or resale quantities.

Normally fast turn-around times

Really depends on the current workload and season. Update - Oct. 19, 2021 - not active with this for now..

We will email you a free quote!

It's MUCH faster to work through email. I'm way too busy to spend time on the telephone, and I'd have to ask you to email with the request and zipcode anyway as prices can only be given through email. Same with faxes, they might work, but email is much faster and better. Please!! read this link: How to request info or a quote before you email, though.

Materials used

Most of our products are crafted in copper. For Cakepans, I use sheet aluminum. To make very tiny cutters (down to 1" x 1"), I normally use thinner copper. Everything is lead-free. Any plastic used is HDPE, as used in foodsafe cutting boards. I can't make things in stainless or tinplate.

What's New with Frank & Lori

Year 2024 Not making cutters, but still pretty busy with local things, fixing stuff. Had to replace the old truck with a (new to me) 2018 F150, great truck! Doing more vacation travel now. Had a great time at EAA Airventure (Oshkosh). Only 1 snowfall (1") and it's almost December! What's up with that?

Year 2023 So far, so good. Not a bad winter, Moderate snowfall. Only had to fix snowblower twice. Made 1 gallon of maple syrup. May have a bit of snow today (mid-April). Lot of daffodils blooming. Very busy with family things this year.

Year 2022... So far, so good. Been reading a lot. I recommend any of the latest Robin Cook books. They are about Health Care systems, Viruses, and Pandemics. Interesting to read a medical thriller written by an actual, real, Surgeon.

Year 2021 Finally catching up with a few things (like this website). Have not been making cutters or cakepans, sorry. Finally playing pool with my friends. Did a lot of camping. Went to Oshkosh again. Discovered "cheese". Now I'm a cheese geek.

Year 2020.... What can we say? Pretty unfair. Terrible, or worse, for many, no problem at all for some. Unfair...

Winter of 2019 was pretty calm at our house, stayed hunkered down, read a LOT of books. Pretty mild winter.

We're doing fine here, Ludington seems mostly sane. No shortages anymore. Sad to see lots of stuff cancelled,
but that's what we grownups gotta do....

Very mild fall and winter so far. Hardly any snow. Temperatures warmer than normal. Lake levels very high.

Very calm summer, didn't do much at all. Read a lot. Only camped out one weekend in the fall.

Fall 2019 was pretty busy, weather ok here, not much snow yet. Only had to snow blow twice so far!

Had a crazy busy summer 2019. Bought a small travel trailer and camped 28 days total, in Michigan & Wisconsin.

Pretty crazy winter here in West Michigan, no real snow until January, then some VERY cold weather, than a thaw...

Had an incredible 35th Anniversary party in Frankenmuth. What a great fun place to be!

EAA Airventure 18 - Broke no bones this year, had a great time. No great flood either.

Ludington had the Traveling Vietnam Wall in town. Awesome. Here are my photos
