Ok, first coat on Drotts, (we shud nickname her 'Dratt'), 2nd coat on Lazerrreds, Scallywag ships on the tide ... I'm done fer the night...Yo ho!
Ahoy, well you all know I'm not the best picture taker there is, but here are some of Drotts. 3 coats of finish left and out the door it goes.
Yarrr........
Price be under 200 dollars? I hope?
I don't think I am ready to venture into the realm of LED's at this time, lots more work and would jack up the price too much. The one that is posted is a special mod for a prize winner.
If you have your heart set on a LED I would suggest heading over to the Monkeyboxx thread and order one up. He looks like a man who takes pride in his work too and just doesnt crank out clone after clone to fill his pockets. Just sayin ...
P.S., does the Grip VV come with a LED? I don't know much about his work except it is good work from what I've seen, the guy has very nice woodworking skills IMHO, he can actually do flush angles!

Off the top of my head, its about 1" to 1.05", usually no more than that, the Mark-III is about .9" width. Enough for .15" of walls on both sides and the width of the battery. I like to make these as tight as I can which is why I have a problem adding something as big as a LED, lol
Oh, I also rolled over the edges more than usual, not round but very rounded on all edging, even the top edges. I should start offering various edging again, round, semi-round, octagon, no reason I couldnt.
No, I do some woodworking myself, and I like that you obviously try to bookmatch your panels, pieces are flushed and not obviously proud or shy and you take the time to hand cut inlay with different patterns. I will wait for your next bunch to come along, but thanks for the suggestions.
That sounds great! I like that kind myself. Hope your on the west coast or you are up way lateim at work myself. Client just got up for a facilities trip ..
I'm a way late night owl, but am heading to bed finally, then back at it tomorrow, arrr...
Someone does understand! It's not what kind of wood you work, it's how WELL you work it! Yarrrr....
Make sure you post this weekend for a chance to win one
