vapeaddikt - is that a shipping notice for another REO bro?

Yessir! It's due to be here later today:D

Tumbled Raw grand, RM2, and some more springs.


Looking to polish/anodize/and get some engravings on it. Might be some time but I'll post pics of the before/after shots of when she's done.

Wow, this thread took off Yaypudding. Great work in the field Reonauts. Keep them coming! This is the view from my office, behind just another PC screen.

Okay, I've decided.
I work at my family's auction house. We auction off some pretty weird, creepy, funny, odd stuff sometimes.
I shall forever keep this thread alive from now on by posting pictures of my REO(s) with these off-the-wall items. Granted, one might not be as odd as the last, but we'll see how it goes. :)

Please start selling those engraved doors. Please. No need to bother with custom work (at first). Just go on with your own taste. Please.

If Rob DOES want to start custom work, I'm sure NumberOneBatfan, Jet Knight, and I would all gladly pay extra for a Batman symbol engraved on ours. :D

Granted, these are all weird to me.

-Dolls are a huge part of the April and November auctions. And there are some CREEPY dolls that come through here. Especially when they have no eyes.

-Nude portraits always make me laugh. Not because they're nude, but because my cousin who works here turns red in the face when he sees them.

-We sold a stuffed Musk Ox a few months back. Why someone would buy it, I haven't a clue.

-WWII propaganda posters are pretty cool, but some of the slogans just make me laugh.

So, yeah, expect to see REOs next to totally random things like this.

Oh. My. HYSTERICAL. And, WHY would someone stuff an OX? I wonder what the buyer did with it? Dolls...SPOOKY.

Can't wait to see your REOs with your latest auction items! Might want to start a separate thread. :)

Probably a good idea to start a new one. Once the pace here slows down, I'll definitely do that :D

This would be awesome. I'm in the process now of trying to get glass drip tips of Batman and the Joker's heads. Next REO will hopefully be purple and green, The Clown Prince of Crime!

I'd love to have this symbol on one:

Any pattern like such could be simply imported into a cnc program once scaled/mapped to fit a REO at the proper depth. It would be a snap to engrave something like that once done.

See the vid of a guy using a cnc to engrave his zippo....it's probably one of Itastes prior to his REO killing it:D
