First Crack at a Mod Block from scratch

[00gt1]

Was bored today so I figured I'd give a shot at making a mod block. Just took a 2x4 cut it down and then drilled out holes for each mod on the bench press and then sanded and stained. What will live here as soon as it dries is my 134, svd, 2 eGos, M16, Nemesis, 4 drip tips, 4 650s and 2 350s. I left the upper left open for future mods. I'm thinking about tackling one for my juices and tanks soon too. Let me know what you think!!

Very nice - good looking finish too.

Looks good. Amazing what can be done with a simple block of wood.

get a simple spade bit for a drill (assuming you have a drill). punch a couple test holes in a piece of wood you dont care about. its not too difficult. the difficult part is getting them lined up with even depth and making it look pretty overall.

then again owning a drill press or knowing someone that does makes this 100x easier.

Nice! It's good to see another 2x4 rack. I likey!
Yours looks a lot less ghetto than mine...

...in fact I look at yours and the term ghetto doesn't even come to mind
Mine's just umm...a rough prototype, yeah, that's it!

Awesome job GT. I spent my Sunday working on a charging station mod holder combo.


Sorry I don't know how to make the pic bigger

Fantastic job - nice stain, too!
But it's FULL already - better start on the next one for new stuff

OK, so what's that NEXT to your stand. Did you build a coil-wrapping gizmo by putting a drill bit and a screw in a paintbrush handle?
Patent that, quick!

Nice job- The options are endless. I picked up a set of forstner bits for this job- they make a nice clean hole with a flat bottom. Then drill another center hole for the 510 if you wish.

At this price they will not last long so take it easy on them- but they do a better job than my spade bits. Have fun-- it's the key !

Haha pretty much! The post is from one of those wire landscaping flags but is same size as my drill bit. It does wrap an easy tight micro coil.
I'm already thinking of the next version of it, something not made from a paint brush handle

I do have to give credit to the Darkzero coil jig from YouTube for the idea.
