From the amount of interest in the 18650's, it looks like I'll be making quite a few after I finish with this pre-order batch. And I can understand why..the 18650 battery is a very good match for the LR 510 atty. Has enough "oomph" to power it, and lasts a LONG time.
I'm not giving an ETA, other that I really want to have them in everyone's hands before Christmas. I'm in wait mode right now..waiting for my handplanes. These should not only make things easier for me, but improve the build quality. Should get them Monday.
Gotta let someone else have a...
A couple pics of the latest 14500 mod (and it's sold). Just saying hi and I'm still here, but working on building the 18650's for those people who PM'd me and got in on the pre-order.
This mod was made from the left over wood I had from making a couple test 18650's for the upcoming orders...
Stuck at home due to blizzard in the mountains along the way to where I was supposed to go for the weekend...so...
A pic of what I'm working on now...the figure in this maple is pretty darn good....
ALSO: a few weeks ago, someone sent me a PM asking about a mod for her husband for christmas. If you are reading this, please PM me. (I'll remember your name when I see it). I have to keep cleaning out my PM box and deleted your PM.

This is what I'm using, but I'm rethinking that....it's kinda prone to tear out on hardwoods...it works very well on something like pine. I'll probably just switch to using a block plane when I manage to find one that's not $100 (and not a china...
Thanks Sandy. I would be careful about rounding the edges, you'll remove the protective finish that way. If you do it, get some urethane and give it a light coat or two around the edges to seal it.
I just bought a tool to round the corners a few days ago. These are small enough that trying to...
Thanks, I'm very happy you like it! I'm always a little apprehensive when I send one out...they are all different since they are made individually and I'm always worried there's something wrong that I didn't see. But I take the time to use each one for a couple hours to make sure it's good, and...
Hey everyone...just checking in. Got a new batch of curly maple that I dug out of a pile at the lumber place. (How come the best boards are always at the bottom of 1/2 a ton of wood?) Looks great and has some nice figure. It's currently at the shop getting sliced down to specs. I have some...
Another up for sale:
This is made from the Birds-eye maple that I had left over. This is a 3.7v, 510 sealed connection mod. Made for a single 14500 battery, it has a C&K tactile switch with a mosfet circuit..button on the side of the mod. Red fire LED.
This is the smallest 14500 wooden...
Here's a pic of the inside of one of the 18650's. I had someone ask me what those things on the inside of the lid are. I call them "cleats"...their purpose is to keep the door from sliding sideways. Even with a tight fit, it still wants to slide around and the cleats prevent that from happening.
Sorry jcamancho, I know you have been waiting to get one, and you're top of the list. I just don't mass produce these things, so it's hard to meet the demand of everyone who wants one. If you have any questions, it's best to PM me because I don't always think to read this thread unless I've got...
When I think of Veteran's Day, I think of my great uncle. I finally got him to tell me about Pearl Harbor a couple years ago......
He joined the service at age 16, lying about his age and was there that day when the attack occurred. Since it was Sunday morning, everyone was gone from his base...
Hang on :)
I'm still not sure on price, and I have PM's from people that I will offer to in the order they were received...I'll then take pre-orders from anyone that PM'ed but don't get one and go from there. I don't really want to get into taking pre-orders, but these would be special because...
