    VR Wood Mods bottom feeders kiwi style

    I have purchased blocks from this guy as well as onemill101 and 20deano05's stabilizing is quite a bit more penetrating. I'm working with some buckeye from onemill101 right now and while it's easy to work with, it doesn't have the hard dense feeling of 20deano05's stuff. Just an FYI

    I'm going with stubborn, since it appears on his FB that he's working on a regulated squonker. BTW, he also mentioned making new, threaded ceramics for the v5.

    the delrin seems to be the biggest problem. Well that sucks, I was hoping since V's using it, it was okay. I guess you gotta give FD props for trying, since no one else seems to be. Or not, idk

    I've done it on a fire button once but it was supplemental. I even have some cylinder magnets that are diameter magnetized so two together actually act like a hinge, although with limited travel. The problem though is that it's not really a secure connection. If the mod was dropped, the bars...

    USA FedEx Charging Duties Tax on Order from ESG?!

    Maybe it's just a random BS fee for funding their Biologics department. I hate "fees"! They are never contested, and the imposers know it. Look at your cable bill or hotel bill...fee for this and a fee for that...utter BS. It's just another way of collecting taxes.

    Thank you for the detailed response studiovap! I had the same reservations with the "standard" JB weld, and had no idea they had a clear version. Gonna try it 'cause it looks easier than the epoxy I have. The finish product I have is Sam Maloof (I think :unsure:). It's an oil/poly mix followed...

    That's good news Quigs. I've had a couple of failures on my previous mods using CA. It could have been poor preparation but I don't want to risk it with this mod. I have a 5 minute epoxy I haven't used yet. Will it be more reliable?

    I need a T-mini and a T-Tranny. You had another leather too didn't you?

    I don't understand. What does biologics have to do with metal parts?

    USA FedEx Charging Duties Tax on Order from ESG?!

    I've been stuck with this too in the past. It's the $20.00 FDA "processing" fee that hits my nerve. WTH are they processing??

    I thought this was an open source thread :D. I had originally planned on hinging them with a 1/8" rod but I'm going to try BeCu first. It takes less space and should give me chance to adjust it if needed. I will try no attachment at first but I'm thinking it may slide to one side or the other...

    Capt Brian makes some nice wood squonkers...I think I have 5 or 6 Cruisers. They were my favorite before I started making my own.

    Thanks asdaq. Yeah, the bars will be hinged at the back, so you'll pinch at the front for a slightly leveraged squonk. I'll show all internals once it's complete.

    thanks Quigs :) yeah I just peaked in there to see other complaints (I don't really do FB), and he said that it was a screw-up during manufacturing, and to send any defects back to him. I think he even said he'd send an extra replacement for your shipping cost. Contact him, from the sounds of...

    I have the v4 and the v5 coming. On his FB he claims that orders after 9/9 should be fine, and says to send defects back to him. I'll start with the v5 and cross my fingers. I'm about finished with the shaping. It's not a skinny "mini" but I want this to be a little tank so my friend doesn't...

    Chalice, Nectar, and Forge at the moment. Need to revisit Buhawi.

    It would definitely work. It's the perfect diameter at slightly smaller than the ID of the cap. If I do use it, I'll drill the top of the cap and press fit it as far down as space allowed. But I was so wrapped up in finding a well made working compass this size, that I didn't really think about...
