Got a million things going on right now between work and new kids in the house. Would love to meet up with fellow Sacratomatos, but can it wait for a few weeks... I'm slammed. LOL

I also vote for party at Mama's house! LMAO.... only problem about waiting is that it just keeps getting hotter and hotter. It's going to be nasty by the end of July.

We do have some meetups that happen occasionally, however it seems all the people are doing summertime stuff right now so no one is talking on the group page or the Facebook page right now.

I swear, if I find out that they are all meeting up at mama's place on the weekends, I'm gonna be ............ ;)

LOL. anyone who show's up at my place will most likely be shot...


But i will throw out a Sac meetup. My daughter owns the Starlite Lounge on 21st in midtown. she normally opens at 5. if y'all wanna meet up there some day, i'll spring for a round or two. i almost always wake up before 5 pm, so there's a good chance i'll make it this time, as long as it aint on a weekend when my baby girl visits....

I've been thinking myself :blink:

I was thinking, man I wish pdib would hire some folks and start turning these out quicker so I can get to vapin on mine in a month or so instead of next year. I want to have the Dibi experience now.

Then I thought, what makes these so special? Yes, they hit like a beast (or so Ive heard), yes they are beautiful but there's more...

I love music, there's nothing I enjoy more than listening to a great guitarist. Some are technically perfect and can play with amazing speed and precision. I enjoy that, but the guitarists I enjoy most, no matter the genre, are the ones who's soul you can feel by listening. When the song plays, you feel the emotion as they are experiencing it while playing. SRV, Derek Trucks, BB King, Randy Rhoades all, IMO, are in this category. It's an intangible, like catching lightening in a bottle time after time. It's something they are born with inside, a gift from God, and refined through countless hours of blood, sweat and tears.

This is the same feeling I get when looking at Peters pics, just seeing them I can feel the care and love that went into them and I can only imagine how much stronger it will be when mine is in hand.

All that to say, yes it makes perfect sense to me. I will moan and groan about the wait and tell you to put your nose to the grindstone to hurry up and get them out and complain when something else takes you away from making mods but what I really want is for you to take your time and continue turning out mods which are born of your soul. I can get a hard hitting, nice looking, mass produced mech anytime I want, my local shop has a great selection and Rob can get one out to me in a matter of days. There is a place for them and that is great, but the Dibi is so much more.

Sorry to run on, I need some coffee now :)

I don't like quoting an entire post with a one line reply, but it's worth seeing this again. Very well said, sir!

I think the gist of it is this:
NO%20PUBLICITY%20PLEASE%20CCard%202010%20cover%2075dpi.jpg

I think he wants to keep it off the front page of Rolling Stone so that this "thing" will remain quaint and accessible and special for all of us. Word of mouth 'll do for now.:)

Either that or he wants us all to start drinking heavily.:blink:

Start? Did I jump the gun again?

Personally I haven't even thought of plywood for a $300 mod , but I'm pretty open minded. I just can't imagine how it will be sculpted to prevent splintering....This I gotta see. :))
What's the difference between "plywood" and "laminated wood"? I've seen some very cool looking rifle stocks made of laminated wood.

Plywood is crap wood glued together. Laminated wood is typically thinly sliced quality wood (often dyed different colors) laminated/sealed together using a similar process to stabilization.

During WW2 the Germans were running low on wood for their Mauser stocks and came up with Laminated Wood. I have one over 70 years old and the stock looks as good as new.

Purple heart seems to be the topic tonight. I had purpleheart/zebra REO and a purple/blue dyed one that some liked and some didn't. Its all about personal taste and only matters if you like and not what others think. Natural Purpleheart can look different. Some more purple than others.

where do these purple trees grow?im in ohio and have NEVER seen such a thing!!!WOW!!
