Ahoy and good morning, the week is going by too fast! I need to get busy, I've been slacking off lately.....

Good morning Crew
The new ladies look awesome Cappy!

Edit: Pre-orders open this week then? Did I get it right?

I am hoping to be able to open up pre-orders by Friday or Saturday evening, the sooner the better as I have already missed almost an entire batch during this downtime.

Indeed, that destroyer is rocking!

Now if only I could find suitable black and white ebony for side panels :(

Hard to find, but as always I ask people to PM me the information before they buy, some of it is not suitable for making mods. I've also noticed that B&W ebony panel wood on ebbayy is end cut, or in other words it is sliced from the bottom of the lumber. The grain of the wood runs parallel with the thickness and the panel has no strength, it would easily snap by flexing it too much. Bad ....


Bit more coffee and vape and off to work, yo ho!

Good morning crew! 2 down, three to go!

I was noticing that about b&w ebony being cut like that. Very pretty that way though. Could you possibly buy a block and cut it into a few sets of panels?

Boy I'm picky and demanding lately! :D

I've watched for B&W ebony for many months and the stuff I see offered is not good. It may be B&W ebony but the markings are ugly, or it's full of worm holes and the black pattern is almost invisible... basically what I see isn't worth the cost.

There used to be a seller that had some nice pieces of it, but I have not seen him selling for a while now, all I can do is keep checking.

Ahhh, everyone is playing and I'm working, time to knock off fer the day, arrr!

I spent most of my day messing with panel wood, but I think they are all ready for use, inventoried and David is putting them on the website as we speak. One more job done and closer to opening up pre-orders.

Wanna see a picture of a bunch of them?

Uploading.....

Jeez...sign me in....for all of them!

Sold! I hate to even think how much I've invested in all this panel wood, ah well, gotta spend money to make money as they say....

Still shooting for this weekend for pre-orders. Once that is done I can sit back and let things run themselves while I take my short x-mas vacation, arrr!

Still struggling myself...not on the wood as I'm pretty much set after the PM I sent you last time, but about getting a Cutlass or a DII....Life's hard :D

Think you might like to try a VW this time? I might try to throw an extra Cutlass DNA into the batch for myself, although my CII from a few batches ago is still in tip top shape, so kinda hard to justify another new one for myself :D

I stopped trying to justify anything a long time ago, I ran short of reasons... :D
Yes, definitely VW this time. The plan was to get a second Destroyer to be on par with the 2 Cutlass... that makes sense and is a reason in itself....right? :D

Plus I have an extra DID waiting for it. See, I've got a good excuse!

I can't justify it either, I've already purchased myself two holiday gifts and a 1 year vape-aversery gift. Wait, it's my birthday the 28th, excuse ahoy!

Damn! Can't use that, mine is on the 22nd...of february :(
Oh well, who needs reasons anyway!

The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it... I can resist everything but temptation.

My wife won't buy it anymore...nah I'm going on the collection side now, wood love etc... makes more sense as she realized that one PV would be enough to keep me away from analogs. Damn, never marry a clever girl...never! :D
Off to bed, Goodnight everyone ;)

I started telling my lady I won them in contests or traded stuff for them. I think she's wise on me but lets me get away with it. For now...
