True2form Fish - Sculptured Replica Magnets by Steve Houk
Trough the 90’s I created and produced a number of sculptured giftware items. The fish magnet line caught on and quickly became very popular with sportfishermen. So I started a company called True2form Creations in SoCal. Each piece, crafted and hand/airbrush painted by yours truly. I made over 10,000 of the fish, a labor of love. Not currently in production. ><(((*<

Made these for guitar player friend long time ago. They’ve seen better days, and lost some bits to kids play, but he still enjoys them :) Size approx 4”

I worked on this King Kong Scull Island set by Playmates for the Peter Jackson version of the film. My friend Jay at Mana Studios called me in on the project. I did all the mold-making and casting to get this RUSH project out and to market by release on a short schedule. Was a grind, the molds were large, a few all-nighters involved…but completed and a job well done.
Oddly to obtain a sample playset, I ended up purchasing one for my boy the following xmas, but to my dismay it did not come with our friend Kong :(
…but I was able to snag the T-Rex, which is cooler because it eats people, complete with Dino roars but also human screams and bone crunching sounds, lol. Jay did a great job on the lizard!
Looks like it made #1 of ask.com’s

Guitar Saddles in Stainless Steel - Patented Linear Tremolo
My friend Don Ramsay has developed this revolutionary (and extremely cool) linear tremolo (vibrato) system. The guitar “whammy” has not seen any true innovation in many years, and all are based on some manner of levering the strings over a fulcrum point. This takes it outside the box all together in design and function. Unlike all other designs, it does not bend or fatigue the metal of strings, hence they don’t break, and it stays in tune. He has outfitted many big name guitar hero’s with prototypes who are playing, touring and recording on them now. Look for these in the future!
