Fascinating to watch. By my guesstimate, even with the CNC, adding in a few for setup, it takes at least 30-45 minutes to make the body. No wonder you need a replicator :) Do you have any idea of about how long it takes to make a woodvil, counting in the door, and fitting all the bits and pieces after it's cut, then the time it takes to finish it (on average)?

Oh and you *do* like to tease, dontcha? :)
You are in the ball park time wise . Wood mods take allot of time to make unless your making a 100 or more its not worth it . I believe this is one of the reasons you dont see many wood mod builders stay in the game for long . I haven't put a time limit on it myself for one mod . If I did I probably wouldn't want to make them . While the mods are running in the machine two of them that is I only did one at a time for the video . I slip over two my cnc router or to my wood shop witch is connected to the building you see in the vid and work on doors or drilling out the button holes juice well holes . Tease me :laugh: what would make you think that ;)

I weighed my Grand and Woodvil a few days ago just because I could. My Woodvil was 1.25 ounces less that the Grand. This is with the same batteries and juice level in both Reos. I realize this can vary with different types of wood but even though the Woodvils are larger they are lighter than Grands.
Your wenge mod is not one of the lighter models if you held a birdseye maple burl you would be surprised most of the weight is battery and juice

I recognize most of those tools but which was the orange bit, Rob?
That is a 14 degree dove tale bit

Typical Tripp response always chewing on Rob . I wouldn't change a thing Hello Tripp :)

I love this thread and your videos and I'm not even in the hunt for a new Woodvil. To me, they're a lot like women. Once you find the perfect one for you, there's no need to stray. Still, it doesn't hurt to get to dance with her taller, younger sister whenever you like.
