    Part 2.......... So, I've got all my "lumber" cut and sized, so it's time to glue it together. But first, I had to come up with a way for the pieces to come together and allow the grain to "flow" around the mod. The way to do it is to cut a 45degree "miter" on the edges (think picture frame)...

    Thank you, I hope you enjoy it. I have to admit I really liked the Becote and would build more if I could find more locally. I went to one place today and they didn't have much of interest. I might make a journey to a couple more to see what they have in stock.

    How do you make a Bahnzo's Box Mod? Thought I'd document what goes into each hardwood box mod I make. Here's Part 1. This is all for an 18650 mod. First, cut a board roughly to length for the mod size needed. Then get out the hand plane and square up the board. Then measure the side...

    Both mods bought and shipped, thanks to the new owners, I hope you enjoy them. So, guess that means it's time to work on more, eh? Got plenty of curly maple left, but also gonna head to a couple of my wood sources and see if they have anything interesting.....

    Pic time! These two are already pending sale, but some modPorn for their potential owners and the rest of you. Click on a pic for full size..... Becote w/rosewood 14500 on the left, Curly Maple w/Becote 18650 on the right. How about some tiger striping? Curly Maple is such a good...

    Got them buffed and carnuba'd today....install some of the guts, but I just remembered I need to buy a new tip for my soldering iron, so no more work until Tues I suppose.

    The two latest on the bench. Just received their third coat of gloss. Two more remaining, and then a week or so to cure properly before they get buffed and then the guts added.

    Got a couple of new ones on the bench right now. A 14500 Bocote w/rosewood caps and a 18650 curly maple with bocote caps. I'll post a pic or two in the next couple days.

    Flavor that won't mix....

    Ok that would make sense because I do use mostly VG in my mixes. Thanks all, helpful as usual.

    Flavor that won't mix....

    I bought some Root Beer from PA recently, and this stuff just won't mix....it remains separated now even after a week. Any idea on how to deal with this? I've been shaking it from time to time, submerging in hot water, etc. Nothing seems to work, so hoping to hear some ideas on what might.

    Kinda taking a break right now to clean up the shop and spring cleaning around the place in general. I hope to have enough becote to make a 14500 mod, so be looking for that, as well as the normal 18650 styles. I still have lots of nice curly maple laying around.....

    Thanks! Glad to hear it. I really like those buttons...they are expensive (very $$$, for a button), but I think they are worth it. And having the LED built in is pretty cool.

    Another handcrafted hardwood mod, this one made entirely from Bocote. Click on the pic for a full-size. Designed for an 18650 battery, with a sealed 510 connection. High quality button with a blue, built in LED. My new, slide-together design that seamlessly holds the whole mod together...

    Everything is good. The pic that Silentt posted is becotte I think....which is exactly what I have drying on the table right now. Should polish up nicely I hope. I had to toss the blue striped one I was working on. It didn't fit together well enough for my liking. Sucks to throw away a couple...

    Latest box mod, already sold however. The crappy cell phone pic doesn't show it, but the new buffing wheels I have work really well. A nice glossy shine. And for the final piece, a layer of pure carnuba wax to give it more shine and protection. But in the background there is one coming...
