Pdib:
Am I doing something wrong or was my mommy right and I am just special?
The brass screw you sent me won't seat as far in for obvious reasons shown in pic, because of this if I use it the top cap won't sit flush and the mod will constantly fire.

hmmmm . . . . I was having luck with seating the 1/2" brass screws, as did others to whom I sent them. Maybe there's something a little different about your stem. (a dit of epoxy up in the top of the stem . . .. way at the end of the tunnel). Generally speaking, it seems the "bugle" part of the brass screw head seats deep enough in the hole in the plate, that it nets out same as the aluminum. I can send you a 3/8".

The other thing you can do is remove a nylon spacer from the battery contact in the bottom cap. Were you using a nylon spacer under that aluminum screw in the top?

Here's a couple pics of the worked fossilized ivory. I think this may be mammoth, not walrus, but I'd imagine the principle is the same.

It is VERY rigid. I don't actually take this divot tool on the course. It's also a tad fragile so it should probably be kept out of reach of turbocad ;)

Feels weird with the button sticking out so much, I was using fattest spacer so button was almost flush.
Also noticed it hitting so much better with new spring and screw. Gonna have to be careful I dried that wick out quick! :D

Yeah, I've been trying lots of variations with the button this week. Sometimes, depending on what I've got in there, it's sticking up pretty far. I don't like it so much; but I'm going through all these temporary set-ups . .. . so I'm not addressing it each time. I think, with the silver thing pending, and the brainstorming going on, let's suck it up for a few weeks. When the dust settles and I'm/we (are) satisfied with a "final" configuration; I'll try and sort out the "pressing" details. (←HAH!) :p

I love the cool stuff Mundy is doing! However, aalwani, if you want the same performance, I can provide it. Ag/BeCu spring, sterling silver contact, . . . . . .

and I'll sit on it for an extra 6 months after it's made . . . . . :p

sure, sit away, I will sit on the money in the meantime lol. No but really I know stock will hit way better than any other mod. It's just me being greedy :D.

The little bit of voltage I drop saved with the strap / silver contacts doesn't amount to a hill of beans in the real world. The Ag/BeCu spring will do just fine. I just can't help myself. :facepalm:

Well i thin the bridge bypass of the negative is what matters. In all mods i see myself thinking: how can I bypass that damn button spring!

I fixed my crack, looks perfect but in sanding it I broke through the finish a bit in a few places. I know I can coat it again with the superglue and polish it out no problem but I think I'm really liking the duller low gloss finish, I think it looks more like real wood on my mod so I think I'm going to strip the rest of the mod down and see what it looks like. I see why you really like the Cyanoacrylate finish, it's like an awesome clearcoat and it looks to be very hard and durable too and finishes to a flawless almost plastic like glass finish. if I don't like it raw then I'll redo the finish :)

It's a divot repair tool. It's used when you hit a golf ball onto the green and there's a dent where it landed. The prongs slide under the grass in the dent and pops it up relatively flat. I collect them and have about 30 of various woods, horns and ivory.
