I have done that in the past and most of the time it has worked out ok. I have received stabilized burl in the past though, that even though I made the mod it had many voids that were impossible to fill and the wood was a bit 'mushy'. It might be a good idea to post the link to the wood you were interested in so we could take a look at it b4 it was purchased.

The dimensions I would need that would cover any model would be 2 3/4 x 1 1/2 x 5. For just a 18650 model it would be 2 1/4 x 1 1/4 x 5 inches.

Good to know!

I agree, they do all look amazing!

Hehe

I have a half dozen mods to get ready to ship tomorrow, then I will be working on getting the mods that are finished up on the website. I will also post pics here as they go up for sale. Some mods are lagging behind, they will also be posted when ready.


Great batch Cappy! You totally picked some nice wood combos here, no customers choices, all yours, and they look amazing :)

I've found over the years that, except for a few exceptions, you all pick combinations that I loved and might have picked for myself anyway!

Well, now that the two new models (26650) have been made, I can spend a lot more time playing with styles and such with the next batch. I spent soooo many hours on the last batch trying to get two brand new models up to speed it didn't leave me much time for innovations in style, bummer.....

i tried ordering a 25 box and an 8 box caddy, but the site didn't love me. i'll try again tomorrow to see if i can find a place to input my shipping info.

Ahoy, happy Tuesday!

How about a few pictures for ya.... Here are the mods that have had 'dibs' called on them. I wanted to finish these first, then I will do the rest of the batch.

I took the pictures outside, it was very bright and just had to trust the auto-focus as I couldn't see the screen well. I also noticed I had a bit of wax dust and a stray strand or two of lint from the buffing wheel I failed to clean off on some. Ah well.... here they are

Cutlass; Black walnut body, black mesquite panels and end caps

Cutlass; African mahogany with Canarywood panels and end caps

Destroyer; Solid Ziricote

Destroyer; Brazilian Imbuia body with East indian rosewood panels, Jolly roger engraving

I want to get these taken care of (paperwork mostly), then I will work on getting the rest of the batch ready for the website and posting pics here on the thread.

Yo ho!

Very nice work Cap'n. :)

I especially like the Solid Ziricote and the Brazilian Imbuia w/ East indian rosewood.

Somehow dark and mysterious.

Pretty even.:D


EDIT: Just saw the confirmed shipping email on my Desk Caddy Apr 1 at 8:43 PM
Thank you very much...

Now I'll wait to see if it was an April Fools email. Ha Hah!

:D

Ahoy all, happy Wednesday! All hands on deck, full speed ahead, busy day today!

It should be fixed now. I needed to add an algorithm to the shipping processor for an order this large to accept a medium flat rate box. I watched the error go away on your checkout page after I fixed it and refreshed the page so hopefully the problem is gone.

Avast! Well, I have 3 more ready for the website and 4 more I'm still working on. David (my website guru & youngest son) is leaving us soon to move up north, so I am weaning myself off his assistance.

I think I managed to add the next new mods to the website but if anyone reading this experiences problems please shoot me a PM or E-mail me at Redskymods@hotmail.com and I will look into it as soon as possible.

Cutlass #16 / DNA20 / Padauk body, purpleheart body layers and side panels



Cutlass # 19 / DNA20 / Black walnut body, Bocote side panels



Destroyer #4 / DNA20 / Brazilian Imbuia, Koa side panels




I will try to get the last 4 finished and up on the website in the next couple days.

Ahoy all!

Just the usual weekend here, but I did do a few custom desk caddies and I think I may make a couple of them available on the website for others who might like the designs requested.

This one is the large box model built for the DIY kinda person with a bunch of 30ml, 6ml and 3 ml holes along with some DP holes.



And here is one that will hold eight box mods and 10 RM2 / A7, etc sized rebuildables.



Tomorrow I get all these desk caddies shipped, then inspect the batch one more time and if they all still look good I will wax, buff, assemble the accessories kit and do the paperwork to get them ready to ship!

Hope you all had a good weekend, arrrr

Just received the 8 Box mod version and absolutely delighted. Very nice work Cappy....my REO's, RM2's and Cyclones RBA's now have a Home. Fellow REONAUTS.....this is a great display stand and I highly recommend! :vapor:

Ahh, I see the forum is back up from maintenance.

I think I'm caught up at the moment, got a couple things to ship tomorrow then I need to switch to desk caddy mode.

Interesting note! According to the spreadsheet that I've had since I started this madness 3 years and a month ago, I just broke 100 thousand dollars in 'gross' income! Of course, one has to factor in the approximate 35-45% overhead, still.....all made with my own two little paddy paws... har!

Yeah I know, take away 40% and divide by 3 and it doesn't seem like much per year, but I read somewhere that to be as happy as you are working for yourself you have to make 3 1/2 times more money when working for someone else to reach the same level of happy, har!

Perhaps is time to set sail for some pillaging, arrrrr

Have a great night!

with your help, i managed to order a 25 box and a "10 box"

through no fault of my own this also mysteriously slipped into my cart:
>Cutlass # 19 / DNA20 / Black walnut body, Bocote side panels
CD20-19-1589x1024.jpg

ii'm pretty sure that Cutlass will put me over the # of box slots in the caddies i ordered, so i may need to order another caddy shortly.

thanks Cap!
