Yes, he shows them to us to make sure we want them before he sends the invoice and ships them out.
LOL, like anyone has ever said no.

Ahhhh... thanks!
Oh NO monkey!!!
I think it was turbo (??) who suggested gluing a penny to that bottom section of the wood part to help reinforce it? Or some type of short aluminum tube (possibly aluminum cigar tube?). Would that help?
I'm pretty sure that unless I throw mine at concrete it won't break (big leaf maple burl) because it's a more flexible wood. I think this is one of those wood uses where maybe high wood hardness (brittle) works against the thinner lip part.

I'm really liking the look of the matching wood buttons with the black caps. is that new on this run or have I just not really noticed any of those before?
copterstyle started it last run, and it seems popular. To be very precise, there's every likelyhood that someone like bustabo requested a button like that before copter did. Copter's, I believe, was the first published.
Oh, hey, as long as we're talking about fancy buttons: on these I didn't charge extra for custom materials. But, as I was making them, I did realize they do entail some more labor than do the black Richlite ones. (mostly sizing and prepping the blanks, and the fact that the varying materials can have different characteristics and sometimes take a couple of tries to get successful buttonage). In future, I'll add a small extra cost for custom button requests on standard mods. Nothin' crazy.
Oh, and BeCu strips in place of fuse. I've gotten to fashioning a rather particular shape . .. .. . takes more time. . . . .. . coupla bucks. In future.
Oh, and if anybody wants to call me Ferdinand . . .. . .
. . .. or Cantinflas . . . .. .
that'll cost you.

Ari Gold is (was) the man. In our halo clan I was DRMA, my son was VINC, another dude was TRTL and my step dad was LOYD. none of them ever even saw entourage . I had my step dad thinking Lloyd was a baller. He was actually but in a catching sort of way

Wow. Ferdinand, the grain detail on this one is remarkable. Another impressive piece! This thread is like eye candy..envy sets in....
Edit: Whoops... didnt see the surcharge note for the new name....
YES...TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!
I want the richlite top and bottom cap but would love a matching button if the wood were to work for that. And what ever you charge I know it will border on fair to you not choosing to charge enough....

oh, one of these days i'll get a little smarter(er).
Are we still getting a group pic of these or have they all been shipped-off to their lucky owners? These runs keep getting better and better!
