AH HA! I knew it went by another name but could not for the life of me remember what it was called! Thank you, it was driving me nuts!

dat's purdy!! .......... uhmm......... what is it?? lol looks like it could be either the side of a very snazzy BB or a pretty nail file lol

Well tomorrow is the big day! I am to unwrap my hands and take a shower. Then put regular CTS braces on. Numbness left the two fingers that were numb last night. Am using a subtank right now,and while I couldn't pull the drip tip off, I was able to unscrew it to refill. babysteps...

Wahoooooooooo sooooooo glad that yur fingers aren't numb now and that you can get outta the bandages! It's kinda nice to have the surgeries/recovering going on at the same time, but would be quite rough to have both hands outta commission at the same time.

Naw, I'm on top of the world See?

that's cute. Yur not allowed a life outside of here.....didn't you get the memo?? lol Sorry you're having a rough time, but am glad it was nothing here that upset you! And glad you're back!

Debadoo, the Sabot isn't being made anymore. The only way to get one is to buy it used.

Peter, I'm looking forward to getting home from work tomorrow night and hearing a good report on your shower. Uh. Well, nothing too graphic. Just how your HANDS are doing. Ok?

 

[Debadoo]

thanks dancin........and.......... so sorry hun, meant to thank you for the pics and totally didn't!!! That was sweet of ya to take those. BB might a tad wider than the grand, but not as much as I was thinking it seems.

 

[DancingHeretik]

I don't have a Grand yet. That picture was of a Billet Box next to a Mini 2.1 (like Beauregard).

I have to say that I'm thrilled with the new (11mm) stainless steel hybrid tips. It's been so long since I've had a one-piece that I had forgotten how spoiled I had been by them. I think I'm going to fill a few more tanks now!



And KD - it's DEFINITELY time we change the wraps. C'mon girl, please?

 

[LittleBird]

J5, I'm so sorry to have missed your birthday. Hope it was filled with all good things!

BTW, perfectly appropriate to count backwards ... or in a different base. Been doin' it for years!

 

[Debadoo]

Mornin DP and Birdygirl!!

 

[DPLongo22]

Morning ladies.

Hi-ho, hi-ho for me. And please don't take that personally. ;-)

It's off to work I go...

 

[Debadoo]

[DPLongo22]

Thanks, Deb. And I wish you (all) the same!

Pen blanks are typically used for turning drip tips on lathes

Gotta say, those look really nice. Do you end up with any condensation from the lack of o-ring?

[andyman97]

Yep, that'll be the material used. No, I don't make them, I don't have a lathe or the know-how to use one. With the help of folks in this thread, I found an awesome guy that was willing to make me one.
