these rough-sanded, unfinished, pasty-toned pictures really aren't very impressive. It gets a lot prettier real soon here (but you know that Dan). Anyhoo . . . . 4

Thank you! Now I know I'm excited...but it's time for this ol' man to get some sleep. Visions of Li'l Pinch dancing in my head.

Speaking of multiple spots:

How's the listroduction ratio? With each batch of 6, do you get more than, or less than 6 new list spots?

Thinking I might need a second spot

no no, nothing like that. I only get maybe 3-4 new list people for every ~10 mods or so. It's closer to 250 slots out than the 300 it used to be. So, like, next slot is 469. (and I might be getting up to slot 200 in this next batch)

Wow! 8 is awesome looking; thanks Peter! I think(hope)...

That is the last piece of that particular looking chunk of Seward Park Maple Tree. More precisely, I've got more of that general feel; but it doesn't have the grey splootches or the thin black spalt lines. I've got some other stuff that is going to be ready soon which is pretty character-ridden. I've had the SPMap in the shop for ~8yrs? now, in large chunks. I just cut up another of those larger chunks into coupla'mod size strips in March, and I'm thinking they should have done that last little bit of acclimating (almost-finish-size shop-drying) by ~~~ end of summer here. That one (the upcoming) is spalted; but still firm and strong.

Is that from the piece you showed me during my "bug the crap out of pdib while making up my mind" stage?

If so... WOW, I certainly missed on that one

So, the piece I used for demonstration purposes, re: your spalted, was the section that I couldn't use from the stuff I cut up in March (re-cut).
The mod, "8", is quite likely from a block that you saw a picture of . . . but you were leaning to the sapele at the time.

OK, so on the coil: funny thing. Hard to explain, but that last build kin'a vaped like it took to make it. I swear I could feel the electricity hesitating at the crooks. It vaped . . .. . "complicated". So, I took a chance on 2mm ID, which allowed me to just do a straight-up 5 3/4 wrap (still right around .162Ω tho). Anyhoo, the cotton is keeping up just fine at 2mm ID on the 23g wire, and I'm a happy camper. Great vape!

So, now, these↓ pics here may not look like pictures of magnets . . . but, believe me when I tell you, these here are magnet pics. I'll start prepping the mags tonight and insert them into SFM's "inbox" tomorrow to see if there's any attraction ( . .. . errrmm . . I mean install them in the mods tomorrow).

OMG, I have got to quit peeking in on this thread.......ya killin' me. Wow, just wow.


What is this wood?

OMG that is too funny. Guess I am just drawn to it! BTW, it wouldn't sorta look a little like this shell would it? Because in my book, it is the numero uno!!! Looks like fire doesn't it? AWESOME!

You drill some mighty fine magnet holes Pete

 

[CaptSteve]

Congrats to all the boys and gals in this batch. You can retire the rest of your mods because I assure you you won't use them anymore after you've been pinched

You should take more vacations in the middle of runs. You're flying through these.

 

[2pak2zero]

Or maybe it just seems that way cuz I'm scrambling to fund mine.
