    BOTTOM FEEDERS= a place for everything modified and/or custom made

    It is hard to visualize (I'm having to make it in sketch-up to visualize it myself)... trying to describe molds and plugs is one thing but then to envision the finished product (which if you think about it, is the reverse of what you're trying to accomplish with the molds... forget about it...)...

    I did consider the cleaning aspect... By having a fill screw at the top I should be able to create a little tip/tube that can screw into the fill hole so I can power flush it. ... now that you got me questioning the spring back what about drilling a 10mm hole in the plug that gets removed after...

    Gdeal, I like your idea of fabbing and encasing a "spring-back" helper "frame"...but like Rhelton, I've looked into this Dragon Skin on several different sources and from what I understand the Dragon Skin slow's resiliency and shape return is that of legends...I'm thinking even with a Grand...

    that's an excellent point Rhelton...and and plumber/gas fitter buddy actually pointed that out at the time (one of the reasons why I binned it)...though I actually may have an alt solution (it came to me in a dream last night :tongue:)... So as a proto I'm thinking hammond box (ya groan away...

    I did the big fat bagger thing because I started to feel like every time I jumped on my GSXR I was playing Russian roulette...a messy end was inevitable... time to slow it down, cruse (and get some feeling back in my arms[emoji1] ). As for the auto squonking...I remember researching a tiny...

    No kidding, she's got gravel in her shoulder that'll be there for the rest of her life... and she still wants to ride... silly, stubborn girl...She almost bought another bike off a girlfriend...I bribed her out of it by getting her a new vw beetle convert... seems to have bought me some time...

    That makes me feel waaay better Turbo...don't you just love those legacies sitting in plain site reminding you of your disease?...I bought a Victory Hammer one year (just didn't want to join the HD herd)...that winter I broke it down to the frame/motor and proceeded to build a "monies no object"...

    Asdaq!...long time buddy... Question for you all...have any of you ever just "hit the wall" while building a mod?...for me I tend to go through this "lost interest" thing for a bit at about the 80% mark (especially if it's a complex mod), but so far I'll just put it down for a while, tinker...

    If you could change one thing about your Reo?

    I got it good...my wife still smokes...and in Canada, at like $11/pack she says nothing when I drop a couple hun. on a new Reo (actually, it's been a while since I bought a Grand...what a buzz kill when I heard the new mech woody was a side switch)

    Given the fact that at least my creations are far from air right I never had an issue with sinking an RDA below the air hole line... but then that battery off-gas thing crossed my mind so I at least direct vent with body holes as close to the RDA's air hole's as possible. Given the fact that I...

    I'm a big fan of the dual (opposing each other) squonk holes... makes squonking a breeze , it looks more balanced plus you're shedding weight (every gram counts) I've finally got all the major parts to my latest built and since the subject of weight came up I decided to pile everything on to a...

    I don't think that's Macgyvers work Turbo...it's missing the key "duct tape" element...I'm thinking more Jeremiah Johnson...see the edge work there?...that's the leftover boot leather from his cabin door hinges...

    The Zinc content?...Ah, the great Brass conundrum, hours of fun...let's explore some parallels for a sec....statistically GM produces some of the most dangerous cars in the world, (the fact that their engineers knew about the current issue for 13 yrs is another debate)...but I needed a car, so...

    Now there's a perspective I can wrap my head around...:D Your buddy is right...there's no such thing as Pb free brass, but marine brass Pb content is pretty low...about as low as that cheap 302 SS FD's 510's are made of...you only lose the Pb from SS once you hit 316, which is why few builders...

    ...about 20 yrs ago (and this is like it happened yesterday) I did 2 Christmases, one in Vancouver with my folks, then jumped a red-eye to Zurich via Heathrow for my 2nd Christmas...by the time we got to Heathrow the weather was bad (there where peeps crying)...I'm a pretty comfortable flyer, I...

    Probably the first Reo to ever be advertised in GQ... "Join in on today's alternative to smoking, vaping. For the Sophisticated, discerning gentlemen vaper, a finely honed piece of bleeding-edge technology of highly stylized post modern minimalism with a muted nod to the stunning craftsmanship...

    Ok...re-writes...(btw, if there are any "actual" machinists out there...please, please feel free to slap me)...so these holes I'm boring in copper stock have to be dead bang on...and I have 18 of them to do...this morning I went out to face another 6 and used a different method to make sure...

    show off your mech! homebuilt mods only!

    I love it!...1st off, nice wood work, but more to the point, diggin' the bare conductor (I like doing that too for some reason....must have been all the HV vault maint. I did in my puppy years)...you've even managed to make a FET look cool... But I have to be critical on this one...what's with...

    You and me both...It's a pretty unconventional mod so I've built it in sketch up a couple times to see if it'll actually work but of course in sketch up everything is prefect (it lies)... but the most valuable piece of knowledge gained from the modeling is this thing has to be build like a high...

    The Z axis was top of mind when I bought the Grizzly MM....I bought the Proxxon vice for their x-y table and as good as it is, its not much good in holding a mod (though the clamp down kit it comeswith isn't bad) It was the Z that almost made me get a floor DP (my dad has a nice HD Delta he'd...
