Encased within a hand-carved wooden box, reminiscent of an expertly crafted toolkit, lies the the finest creation of Maize Gantetsu.
Upon opening the case, you will find an array of meticulously arranged woodworking tools, each selected for their precision and ease of use. At the heart of the kit is a compact hand-crank lathe, capable of boring and shaping Apricorns into the custom Pokéballs such as the Friend Ball or Heavy Ball. Despite its size, this lathe, once revved up, is as effective as its full-sized counterparts.
The kit includes:
A sharp and reliable utility knife for initial cuts and fine detailing.
A precision moisture meter to ensure your Apricorns are at the ideal humidity for crafting.
A sturdy chisel to carve out the basic shape with accuracy.
A trusted level to maintain the symmetry and balance of your Pokéball.
Adjustable sliding bevels for marking and measuring angles flawlessly.
A layout square to guide your cuts and keep them straight.
Calipers for taking precise measurements and ensuring a perfect fit.
A hand plane for smoothing rough surfaces and fine finishing.
Strong clamps to hold your workpiece securely as you shape it.
A custom jig to aid in consistent and repeatable crafting.
A hand-crank mechanical drill for the initial hollowing process.
Orbital sanders to achieve a smooth, flawless finish on the Apricorn surface.
A hand-powered vacuum to keep your workspace clean from shavings and dust.
A small, yet mighty drill press for precise hole making and detailing.
All these tools operate through a complex network of clockwork gears and delicate cogs, a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern design. This kit pays homage to the ancient art of Apricorn shaping but also propels it into the contemporary age of Pokéball creation.
Crafting an Apricorn Ball is a long and arduous process for an amateur and can take several hours and many failed attempts. Three successful Clever+Crafts die results are necessary to create a functioning Ball along with at least four hours of invested time. However, as the user becomes more proficient with the kit and process this will be reduced to half the time and one successful Clever+Crafts check.
