"We regret to inform you that our beloved BobC has suddenly passed away this afternoon of undetermined causes.
Bob suddenly passed in his Library while at his computer browsing some E Cigarette forum, he died suspiciously with his eyes bulging and a big grin on his face"

Well... guess I'm one spot up in line now.

Man I'm just thinking that wrapping these beauties in a wrap is like putting a plastic cover on a leather sofa. I just got those grey / brownish 3m pads and they give it a perfectly new brushed look. Ill take a pic later.

A burka on Sofia Vergara when you can just wipe her down

I feel the same, these mods are to beautiful to wrap. But at the same time I'm over protective of my "babies'. I actually have clear wraps on all but one of my Grands and that one is nekkid only because it's a wrinkle.

Yeeeeesssssssssssssss

Now for the progress pics

Cool read, // going to be a mod with lots of inherent strength, are you going to reduce wall thickness by 50%?? Or keep dimensions the same...

Tennalum 7068 Ultra-Strength Aluminum – The Ultimate Alloy
Circa 2000, the Ordnance industry requested development of an ultra-high strength, lightweight alloy with corrosion resistance equal or better than 7075. In response, Tennalum Inc. (a division of Kaiser Aluminum Corp.) developed an ultra-strength alloy called 7068-T6511 – commonly known as Tennalum® 7068. With a yield strength of 99 KSI (683MPa) it has the highest mechanical strength of all commercially available aluminum alloys (2.5 times stronger than 6061, and 35% stronger than 7075) and exceeds that of many steels. In fact, it’s yield strength is approaching that of pre-hardened (HRC 26-32) 41XX and 400 series stainless steels but at a third of the weight. In strength-to-weight ratio, Tennalum® 7068 out performs nearly all other engineering alloys in existence (33% better strength-to-weight performance than 7075, and 28% better performance than 6Al-4V Grade 5 Titanium). However, due to its higher cost (3-4 times that of 6061) and limited availability, it has seen very little commercial use. But for many applications there is no better alloy, not even Titanium.

Pretty cool, right?!?!

Yeeeeesssssssssssssss

ah bob you have had the patience of a monk

 

[BobC]

Now I have a Twitch

 

[BobC]

Pretty cool, right?!?!

Is it more expensive then Titanium?

 

[Nautilusfan]

Is it more expensive then Titanium?

Not sure? Haven't priced titanium. But it is a little pricey!

Initials day reminds me of the velvet rope days of Studio 54 in the seventies

"Ohhh Ohhh, Pick me! Pick me!"​

Not quite that high,...but it's roughly 8 times higher than 6061...

This pair will be mixed. 7075 and 6061.

Also, anyone thinking of getting a jwrap should consider a couple things....
First, the squonk hole they have on file is V1.
Secondly, the button hole is 7/16". Some earlier mods had a 3/8" button.
Third, some of the earlier mods may vary in dimension. I wasn't overly concerned with each mod being an exact replica of all the others... Only that the fit-up between the cap and body was perfect...
They are all the same dimension, at this time. The current spec. is 1.750" x .900" x 3.340"
That's what Beck's is...

Just don't want anyone to order a wrap and it not fit....

 

[super_X_drifter]

Good idea, Rudy! Perhaps I can bribe, er,... I mean, um....talk,... super_X into doing one....
He's way better at that sort of thing...

I'd be glad / honored to make one this weekend - Perhaps we can chat like phone style first too. I'd like to get it perfect.

 

[Sloth Tonight]

Pterodactyls might still be a thing. Something crazy this way cometh.

 

[super_X_drifter]

Like this??
I didn't even know who she was till you have mentioned her, I haven't had TV for the last 3 years, so I'm not up to date on pop culture

Bro, I'm not sure what Sofia Vergara you were searching for - this is the one I'm referring to:

Keep us posted, Sloth! Watch yer six, buddy!

Absolutely! It'd be my pleasure!


Then there's this....

 

[mackman]

[BobC]

We're a couple of lucky folks MM!

 

[BobC]

Don't I?

Glad you noticed

 

[custom-classic]

Thanks, guys! Let's don' get carried away, though...

It'll take me every evening this week, plus all day Saturday and Sunday to get from here,... to there.

If all goes well,... you should have them Wednesday, next week.
