the mod that should be yours
Oh, that old thing ... I don't think I'm gonna make wood mods anymore, I'm making a prototype for the worlds first CARDBOARD box mod! Yay Me! ...... Nobody is cheering ...
Nvm, I'm going back to work now ...
(lol, I cut the end of my pinkie finger earlier today, I never realized how hard it is to touch type when you have a digit bandaged up. Maybe I could just ski the letters my inkie finger usually ty es for me?)

good afternoon to me, good morning to you all!!! vaping some Kona Cream from sweet-vapes, nicey!!!
Ahoy, good morning, good afternoon and good day to all!
Got a couple pics for ya, I didn't post a final pic of Laz's Mark-VI(6) Wench prototype so here they are;
...and this one below I'm going to use in the shop I think, it was a comedy of errors but I finished it anyway so I would have a Mark-V for myself.
After I assembled the end caps on it and started sanding I realized that the wood suppliers writing on the end of the wood had bled into the wood and was still visible a bit at the very top, oops. On further inspection I realized I had drilled the atomizer hole on the front instead of the back, oops! So I set it aside. (I almost tossed it in the trash).
A day later I picked it up again and thought if I clad the top in Recon-Stone I could cover the old hole and bore one in on the back where it belonged. To balance it out I decided to put a stone inlay along the side too. Well, it was late and instead of putting a channel in just the back door I forgot to remove the door first and put a channel in the whole side! Argg, now instead of a two piece inlay I had to fit a 4 piece inlay. It was late, I put it aside again.
The next night I installed all the inlay, put the Recon-stone on the top, drilled it, sanded it and noticed it now had a crack in the door! Crap! It looked like a small check had split during sanding. Well, I stabilized it with some glue and finally finished it up late last night. Here she is, for better or worse, my new Sycamore lady.

Comedy of errors? Did you YouTube them? ;-)

When you feel comfortable walking about The Wench, what are the main differences? -Magnus
EDIT: Wait, this is the non-feeder Vv?

Yep, he wanted a non-feeder Buccaneer, it's just missing the feed system and of course thinner because of it.
