Y'all are making me wish I had one too! (a fancy one, I mean)
Speaking of which . .. .
So, what if I were to tell you all that #0002 may become available? I say "may" because I'm considering keeping it for myself. The friend who bought it, as a beta tester, finds he isn't using it much. Rather than have it sit on the shelf, he wants to sell it back to me and let me do with it as I please. (He's very considerate, nay downright nice, he is.) He's already sent it to me.
The mod's been used in a humid environment. The copper has a full patina. It looks like it could've been found in a trunk in Grampa's attic. (I mean that in a good way, if anyone's into old/antique looking gear, this one fits the bill.) I could spruce it up. Heck, I could refinish it. So, it's kin'a special in that, if one were to desire it as a functional collector's item, they could choose to; take it as it is (looking very much like a piece of history), or have me do a minor refinishing (get it all shiny n' stuff), or have me completely refinish it. If I did that, it would/could be a Natural Seward Park Maple Burl (looking more like the others I've made). I have it, I've examined it, fired it, it works great.
Here's a pic from when I first made it. click on this pic and it'll take you to the gallery for this unit. (I'll post a slideshow link below too).

If anyone's interested, give me a holler.
(btw: this one I'll sign and # if requested)
I'm convinced pdib somehow knows what time I go to bed. This was the first unread post that I logged on to. On that note, had I mentioned that I mailed the check for the beach house rental just yesterday. Yeppers, $925 to appease mamma, and keep my future vape budget at acceptable levels. Like gg, this was the mod I coveted the most from the original pics. Perhaps, pdib should just add this to the inventory, and offer it to those in the present run, or next, should no one want it. I'm sure it wouldn't last past, say, run four.
