My first wood mod to the far left.
The next one is made from a pine tree that I had cut down.and the center strip in that mod is a local tree also, called koa. Koa is very expensive , like 23 bucks a board foot.
The next 2 are made of the same wood. The little one will use a 14500 and the other one 18650 kicked!? I have the layout but I need the exact measurement from the contact to the post. In inches please..
I would just buy one but all oos! And as soon as the classys have one someone beats me to the the pm...
Could someone please tell me that measurement?
Oh wow... those are ALL gorgeous, each and every one. I so envy you guys this skill! I can't imagine starting with a hunk of wood and ending up with something this lovely. I think my personal fave is the first one. Something about the color of the wood just looks like it would age beautifully with the natural oils from handling it, and the shape of it with the rounded edges is just flat out sexy. I really like that its rectangular, as opposed to square box. I know a lot of you guys love your boxes, but I've got tiny little 10 year old kid sized hands, and 'boxes' are just a little too wide for me to handle comfortably. But that shape looks perfect. The Koa is amazing, too! I can see why its so pricey, since its obviously unique and rather rare. Something about it reminds me of art carvings I've seen done with natural driftwood, just in its natural swirls. Seriously, ha-y-n... they're all incredible.
As for the Kick measurements, I don't have one, sorry! Maybe you'll get lucky and someone in this thread has both a kick and calipers for an accurate measure. If not, I'd ask that in the Variable Voltage or Mod forums... Surely one of those guys has one, and the ability to measure correctly. From what i've heard and read, however, they typically fit on the end of an 18500 and are supposed to be about the size of an 18650 once the kick is combined with the 18500. I'm not sure why some wood mods designed for 18650 aren't fitting the 18500+kick device, though. Personally, I've seen a huge variance in size just between battery manufacturers, so guessing something like that is the culprit. Crossing fingers you get the answer you need, though! Gorgeous gorgeous work! Every time you guys show off these amazing wood mods, it just feeds my new obsession! lol
So, any of you guys wanting to use the kick in a wood mod have any idea of kick + standard 18500 size?
And tybin.... Omgosh! My eyes are about to boggle out of my head! What a gorgeous outstanding collection you have there! Holy moly.
