I can't begin to tell you what a stupid smile I have on my face

Thank you Peter for an awesome li'l pinch

(once the amazement and awe wares off in about..... oh say 3 months I'll tell you what I think of it objectively)

Just came home with a new family member. This is Pixie our new little Golden Retriever chick to keep company to our old boy Hank. Wife's been bugging me to find a Golden girl for a while now so when this litter came up I couldn't miss the opportunity.
Little Pixie is 50 days old

Wanted to share some pics of the Clear Caps being machined. For my one off custom stuff, I dont CNC machine them, I machine them manually to add a bit of me to it, so each piece is unique and truly custom

This is the machine that the clears were run on All chucked up and ready to go

First steps, facing the end and rough milling the bore:

Then I size the bore with a boring bar:

Now drilling the drip tip hole:

Now I turn the Outside to size:

Now I cut off the part to flip it over:

That leaves this:

I face the Part to length:

Then turn the drip tip to size:

finally add the chamfer to the top cap:

Part is done except for the slots and polishing up nice and clear

Off to the milling machine to do the slots.........

Just came back to the room from a great meal and a few bottles of red wine with good ol' Doff. What can I say, if you think you know Doff on the forum, I can tell you he's even better close up. We had a great time catching up and exchanging squonk stories (his Pinch is gorgeous BTW, tight hole and all) and it was an utter honor and true pleasure meeting up with him.

It's a true pleasure putting a face behind an anonymous forum member and just goes to show that behind every cyber handle there's a real person with a great personality.

Thanks Dan for making the effort to come out and meeting up with me even for a short while, I'm honored to make your acquaintance and hope to get to see you again when I'm next in Melbourne.

Squonk on brother !!

That's really beautiful Marcus!! Can't wait to see what else you have planned

How about a sneak peek.......

Still a work in progress but you can get the idea

Had some time to finally attempt a CA finish on the Wooden Nuppin sleeves. Results came out pretty good, but not as nice as our resident Bee's work

Totally gained a new appreciation of what Peter goes through to make our mods look so good

So, got home and yes indeed their was vape mail on the table.





Some flat cable jumpers and connectors from Mouser to be able to extend DNA large screens.

Man those connectors are small!

Gonna be a real challenge to solder them with these old eyes, shaky hands, and 30 year old soldering iron.























Oh, and there was also THIS!

The white one that is.
