Red Sky Mods - Part Two

[aidreon]

Ah, one other thing before I forget.

Please verify that your order is correct by looking at your confirmation E-mail from the website. I wish to avoid any mid-process changes like I have had the last couple batches.

Aidreon, would you please pass that along to the French crew? Thanks, you da man!
Arrr

Done!
Good morning Crew. Anyone chose a solid Bocote Cutlass/Destroyer or Cruiser on this batch? Would really like to see one. Couldn't order this month, but I so like Solid Bocote that it might well be one of the next lady to join the fleet

Edit: Damn, I'm growing old, I know Yqueff did order a solid Bocote, need my blue pills, anyone seen my blue pills, dammit!?

 

[Waho]

Good morning crew!

Congrats to all the new and repeat owners!

 

[pchela]

Wow! That was fast!

Happy Saturday everybody!

 

[Lineale]

Hi Cappy, it was really a good idea to ask us to check. I made I little mistake too. I've just send an email to ask you to change the pushbutton and the cactchup type. I hope it will not be a problem for you. Sorry and thank you

 

[aidreon]

Hey Lineale
Finally saw Iron man 3 tonight, it was actually good. Now time for some Rob Zombie with The Lords of Salem

 

[Capt' Brian]

Ahoy all, I hope you all had a pleasant day, I know I did even though I had to do some paperwork, yuck...


All the orders look ship-shape are ready to go, but I will check them over one more time before I start.

Sorry there were some people who wanted in on the batch and missed it, but most of the spots were taken within just a few hours and even after I increased the batch size it was still full by the end of the day. Maybe next time!

There are some damn fine choices this time and I look forward to seeing how they turn out.

Have a nice Sunday, arrr

Even though I missed out on this batch, I will have the PayPal cannons loaded for the next one. Congrats to everyone that got in. A solid bocote or a solid tiger maple may be on my crosshairs. France may have won this time, but there are no
real losers when it comes to joining the Red Sky crew. Welcome aboard maties. And Waho you gotta let me knnow when to say when. I really fell asleep in the crow's nest on that one.

 

[aidreon]

Have a nice Sunday everyone

 

[pchela]

Happy Sunday!

 

[Waho]

Good morning crew!

My bad Rt, didn't know you were sleeping up there. I was temporarily reassigned to underhull barnacle scraper for the day after the unfortunate accident in the rum hold that I again was in no way responsible for. That rum cask was already broken and spilling when I got there, and I was cleaning the floor!

 

[Capt' Brian]

Ah, it was a nice day off, hate to see it end, but look how late it is already! And tomorrow it starts, batch #22, arrr


have a great Monday (if possible).

 

[fright88]

Slow day aboard the Red Sky today. So just bumping the thread up and stopping by to say hi.

 

[Capt' Brian]

Ah hell, sometimes even I forgot to pop in and say hello.

Sold one desk caddy in the last couple weeks, just getting started on the batch with weeks before I have any pictures to show, just not much to talk about concerning RSM and such.


How about someone posting their new toys on the thread? I don't care what they are or who made 'em, lets see what kinda booty ye been grabbin fer yerself while ol' Cappy's been below decks slaving over the dancing girrr.... er the work bench...

Yo ho!

 

[Waho]

Good morning crew!

All is quiet on the homefront my way. Except for me breaking the silence with hacking coughs, stupid allergies!

As far as new toys, the only thing I've received is the new gg Ithaka, seen on a GGTS on the right.

A dual coil odysseus for the most part, pretty much a fog machine

 

[laurentdb]

J'espère qu'aucune fuite de toiture ne ......era la production.
Je suis tellement impatient que j'ai fait des essais pour voir à quoi allais ressembler mes futures RSM. Vivement la semaine prochaine qu'ils soient fini .

Quoi? c'est pas une semaine le délais ? on m'aurais menti .

I hope that no flight(leak) of roof will delay the production.
I am so impatient that I made tries(essays) to see what was going to look like my intendeds RSM. Deeply the next week when they are finished.

What? It is not one week deadlines(extensions)? One would have lied to me.

 

[Capt' Brian]

Arrgggg, I hate this day in the batch.

I just went through all the hardware I will need and made sure I had it on hand so there will be no hold-ups like before. Looks good!

But, that means it's time to anticipate the following batch and order hardware ahead of time, and since I'm doing a bit of guessing I have to make sure I have enough to cover all variations of models/hardware that might get ordered.

Regulators, switches & buttons, catch cups, bottles, tubing, and on and on, there goes $800 bucks! QQ

You're welcome Digikey ...(we should put them on our "To Loot" list), ARRRRR!

That's been the story since the first day, about 1/3 of the money I make goes back in materials, more if there is equipment problems, but everything is running good at the moment, knock on wood!

Off I go again, whining phase of batch complete.

 

[Capt' Brian]

Ahhh, while the subject of other makers mods is afoot, is there a major maker of mods, tube or otherwise that I'm totally ignoring when it comes to desk caddies?

Just wondering, arrr

 

[Waho]

I'd think most box mods would hover in the same 2"x1" region based on ergonomics, same with tubes in the ~1" department.

The only other large scale type would be epipes. They have a pretty religious following at epipemods.

 

[pchela]

Here's my newest mod.

 

[Waho]

Here's my newest mod.

I wish I had a mod named after me

Seriously nice though
