Ahoy all!
Yeah, had a couple of false starts in picking up the Commodore, but they finally released her and it was a nice enough drive and she's home and lounging on the couch watching tv. All is right with the world again.
Today the batch got edges put in. I was really worried about the ziricote and ebony body but they took edges without chipping or cracking but that damn marblewood body almost gave up the ghost. It started to chip badly as I was running it through the edger so I finished it with the belt sander and so far the batch is 100%. They all survived!
Besides the usual & unusual combinations this batch I also made 3 that have solid bodies, an ebony, ziricote and marblewood mod. Probably the last time I do it as they are all so very hard to work but between them and the mods with layers/endcaps/26650 batts it's gonna be one of the most unusual batches I've yet to do. If only I could decide what engravings (if any) I should put on some of them.
Sorry to those who want one, but this batch doesn't have any Cruisers or Marauders in it, only DNA20 mods.
Tomorrow I put in pistol grips on the few mods I've decided get them, then it's two full days of hand sanding and then.... and then... a coat of finish! Can't believe how long this batch has dragged on. They usually take 6 weeks or so and I'm on week 10 already with 2 to go....
Good grief, arrrrr
p.s., anyone know where I can get Ramen in bulk, wholesale? ARRRR!
