Yes, I know. It didn't look that bright until I held it up to my face and took a drag. It was almost blinding. I had already glued everything in place at that point, so I just used the blackout paint to dim it a bit. In hindsight, I should have put it in a different spot so it wasn't aimed at my...

Man, where were you two months ago? I Looked all over for a nice wooden project box and couldn't find anything suitable. I ended up making my own. If you could make an unfinished box with pre-installed hinges and magnetic clasp, I think it would sell well.

yeah, it took about 5 coats of shellac and 50 coats of wipe on poly to get that gloss. Honestly, that's what took the longest. It has some flaws in the finish, but I can live with it.

Just finished my Evercool mod. It took almost a month to make and I am pretty proud of it. I hand carved it out of 2 pieces of 1x4 redwood. All the switches are recessed which is why it is so large. Big 4A trigger switch I used a slider pot for the voltage adjust The hinge is...

Ha! The Poak.. Love it!

I would hold the iron upside down and apply the parts to it. That way the iron will be stable and you don't have to worry about dropping it on your foot.

Covering the cone could get tricky because as you apply it, the angle of the grain will change. You might be able to do it it with 2 pieces of veneer.Just apply one piece at a time from the center of the piece out towards the edge. then cut it so its straight. then apply the second piece and...

Yeah, these damn things tend to jump right out of your hands don't they?

That looks freakin' awesome! I used Minwax for both the stain and varnish. A word of warning though, don't use the fast drying polyurethane varnish. it dries waaaaay too thin for this type of application. You will have to apply a million coats and it will leave you with runs and ugly spots...

+5 With lips that are that glossy red, You know there are fangs hidden behind them. And vampire chicks are hottt!

Yeah I just looked at it again, .5A 125v made in Japan, no other markings. So far with the new switch I have had no misfires, hard presses or other problems. Voltage to the connector measures 6.2 v. I don't have a load voltage checker so I can't measure that, but it's working fine. I did have...

As much wood as a woodchuck would chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood. Thanks for all the comments guys, I think it turned out good for my first attempt. Since I have a ton of this stuff left over, I'm contemplating building an altoid's box mod and veneering it just for fun.

So far so good. The only one that has leaked was the one with the narrow ptb inserts. It leaked out the battery side though, so I must have dislodged the center stem when I inserted the Ptb's (edit) Scratch that method. I started to get the dry cart taste, but the cart wasn't empty. I added...

I did use the filler ring. But I installed it upside down. I have also cut the inner ring out of the filler ring increasing the inside diameter, but that didn't seem to have any effect good or bad.

Okay, so I just got my 510 xl's from Clouds of Vapor yesterday and this is my experience so far... 1st one I opened and filled with the syringe, no dry burn, no ptb.Wicking was extremely slow and it had primer. So I emptied it out, soaked it in hot water and dry burned it. That got rid of the...

Simple recipe for my holiday favorite from Starbuck's 15 ml base 2.5 ml Lorann's Keoke Coffee 1.5 ml ml Lorann's Eggnog 12 drops PA sweetener (roughly .5 ml. You can use any sweetener but add it in slowly. Too much will ruin the batch.)

Thanks Jeff. I'm extremely happy with the way it turned out. When are you going to add the Veneer option to the lineup? Just kidding, kinda... A friend of mine asked why I prefer the Chuck to my V3 or ego and I handed it to him and said, "this hits harder." One puff and several coughs later...

It was at the local store. They have a large bin with all different types of switches. I picked up a few different ones for some other projects also. I don't know if it is gold plated, But it works just as good as the original.

I found it at radio shack. its an spst momentary switch rated .5 amps at 125 vac. Its the same switch that came out of my Chuck, but made by a different manufacturer.

(Edited version of the switchectomy post on Thagbuilt forum) I have seen a few posts here asking about wood grain finishes so I thought I would show off what I did to my Chuck. :headbang: I found this material at Lowes: I bought the 12 x 48 inch (enough to do at least 20...
