Hey what's up Gman , thanks for answering that question . Glad to see u stopped in
left to right
wenge, yellowheart , bloodwood, Tiete, Paduak, Dalmata these 6 are for end caps
from top to bottom
Walnut , tiger capsi, red heart, these 3 are used for end caps, cocobolo and indian rosewood , these two are used for Sp's
the wood is subject to change but I will always carry coco and wenge , and bloodwood
As a woodworker myself, I'm just curious VP, what equipment you have to do these? Just the common tools and jigs, or maybe a cnc router? I have no desire to make these myself, but as I said, just curious.
It's cool man I don't mind people knowing, this is suppose to be a community and communities share .
I use a router , the main bits I use is 1/4 straight and 1/2 straight , once I cut the groves I need I use a vice to good the wood so I can saw what length I need. I use a run of the mill hand saw , then use clamps and glue together. Once dry I sand with multiple sand sponge from there I use sand paper I start with 80 and work up to 220

Ok just walking in the door bout to go Finnish some sanding ill be away for a bit
LOL, I gotta say man, you are better with a hand saw than I am. The end I cut off would probably be at an angle by the time I finished the cut.
vp, did you get my pm? my kiddo needs help with his sp and i think we need to send it to you to have a look see.
haha, i got your pm!! thanks a ton it should be on the way to you today.

My grandfather wouldnt let me use an electric saw to cut wood so its old habit . He used to make me use the old drill that looks like an egg beater but I got a drill press
Cool. I have an old hand drill that was my grandfathers. Luv stuff like that, especially when it's still useable.
wow I forgot how this web address look's on a computer. much nicer then what I see on my phone.
I also still use tool's my grandfather made, like screw driver's , work bench, carving tool's . he was one of those guy's who had to make his own from being to cheap to pay for somthing already made.

This is my flint rod handle I made, as I was making this I kept changing the shape till I found one I liked now I will be making more and cleaning them up a little. I can't remeber the size rod I use I belive it is 1/8 ID and 2 L it is the smallest I found. I will also be picking up some steel to make a striker to go with it . although I always have some type of knife on me I thought it would be fun to make my own
it's hard to tell since it's black on brown but I have about 3/4 of the rod available for striking , the grove is a nice fit and is very easy to strike . Since I use my scrap's to make that once I get more color's it will be easier to see
Thank you air ,
Update its my bday and although I am working my son is being dropped off earlie to celebrate with me , so that means ill be getting a little less done then normal .
I am a little ahead , I started the finish of the feeders that were pre ordered . I have a Sp that will ship tomarrow for Jen. The glue is still setting .
All in all things are looking good time wise
