    If you could change one thing about your Reo?

    Even though I'm a mech guy all the way, I built a DNA30 Woody (mostly because Turbo's looked so cool I just had to have one)... I'll admit almost every point Turbo makes is legit and I do enjoy it... Now on to what I'd change (all Grand centric).... and to be fair I've actually made all but one...

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

    That's really good to know....I usually hand sand with a bowl of warm water to about 600 (I leave the 1200+ to NASA) then I buff with brown then to blue (on the same wheel, duh?) then finish with Mothers Mag polish (stuff is awesome)... So, time to buy a polishing wheel and some white and a...

    CaptSteve...waiting on some mats for my next build but while I wait, I'm really digging your inlaid Grands...mind if I build one?...feels like I'm stepping on some toes, (even though one could say "you" copied my Brass Grand) but just thought I'd ask just the same :tongue: I just don't want the...

    Praxis Derringer RDA

    On that exactly, I found some thin wall brass tubing that if you chuck a piece up in a drill and run it against a file a bit it can be "pressed" into a top cap (in place of a DT)...you'd pretty much have to drill it out if you changed your mind though...I "had" to come up with that solution when...

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

    Are you kidding me!...you suck :laugh: So it that the Proxxon?...how is it? I was quite surprised by the quality of the x-y table (it has less lash than my mill)...though with the amount of milling you do I wondered why you got the lathe first (not that we both won't have both at one point...

    Praxis Derringer RDA

    I've been googleing these RDA's...imo, looks like a nice unit... and I can't see how bf'ing one will be much of a challenge (if you think they'll release a native bf version you're dreaming... we're barely a niche)... but I've just got this feeling that with the dragging out of the FB buzz...

    Praxis Derringer RDA

    Fixed, well "fixed" isn't really the most accurate term, even though I rarely swap RDA's/mods I actually have a quazi hybrid "system" which makes it pretty easy. Seeing as 10 of 12 of my mods don't have conventional "510's" I just thought that if I'm going to ditch the paradigm to wring out that...

    Magma (made flush sided, stupid AFC ring :facepalm:) sunk 7 mm into the deck of my Cocobolo...not a ground breaking achievement by any stretch but if you're gonna truck with a Magma every little bit helps...btw, I had to put the door on and clamp it in place, right at the top (clamp it good) as...

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

    Don't meant to cross-post but I've been waiting for someone (with way more cred than me) start an appropriate thread...so I'll begin by tossing this up... Even though it's a pretty little mod of Paduck caps and Bubinga body It's built to handle a lot of current with the small amount of...

    show off your mech! homebuilt mods only!

    They rated that momentary at 60A? (DC?)...I'd certainly believe that by looking at the connector lugs sized to accept #4 stranded...that switch would be every modders dream come true?...I think a decimal place was added in translation. I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already...

    Praxis Derringer RDA

    I love the look of milling the Grand completely flat on top (will be doing another one this weekend)...I still remember the first one I did, like holy crap, what did I do...that's when I realized that Rob will sell anything...you have to drill out what's left of his 510 and press in a new one...

    show off your mech! homebuilt mods only!

    8V isn't really that bad a way to go, some will argue against me but I think you get faster heat up on your coils in series...though it does seem weird wrapping almost 2 ohms worth of coils eh? ...I will say that switch still looks a little light Amps handling wise though....please fuse that bad...

    show off your mech! homebuilt mods only!

    Thanks but a live feed of my work methodology would certainly be the evidence needed to have me committed :facepalm: I'm going to be starting on a Hammond 1550P dual 18650 and V meter for a buddy and he hates top switches so I've been thinking about it as of late (I personally like top...

    What makes the woodvill such a sought after mod?

    Of course is still a mech if you use wire... its a means of physically extending/re-routing of the current path from an engineering perspective..It's really no different than if you used busbar... in my last mod I had to use braided conductor to allow for vertical movement of my neg. batt...

    Innovative, but not by me I'm sorry to say...gotta give credit where credit is due, I ripped that off a mod called a Phidias by Fonosmoak. The switch is a very amped version of the Reo...the rest is all mine. There's so many hyper reg'd boxes out there now I just did the math (I'm an...

    Just floating the idea...

    I don't doubt it.... the entire trip to get the pizza she was like Joe this and Joe that and Joe is the greatest, Joe, Joe, Joe.. I know we aren't supposed real names but I guess the cats or of the bag on this one [emoji1]

    show off your mech! homebuilt mods only!

    I think this one fit's the criteria... Fully sunk Atomic (hybrid'd so no real 510 conn.), Beryllium/polished silver 25A contact leaf for a switch, solid polished brass spring loaded neg (hence the fuse)., all wire (what there is of it) is #16 awg jewelry grade sterling silver (and silver...

    Seems fair...your girlfriend took me to get it in your car:tongue:...4th and Alma seemed like a long way to go for a pie, but she said is has to have quinoa on it, hey, what do I know?
