Just curious, Boden, why do you get the outside almost finished before milling the inside? That's not a vape question, just in case someone needs to kick my ...., but a wood-working question that might or might not have vaping implications. Maybe my mind works backwards or I am just very old fashioned, but I suspect I would have created a blank, milled the inside, then put the finishing touches on the outside after being certain it would hold all the stuff I intended to stuff in it. So if there is a good reason for your methods (I'm sure there is), clue me in please. Tanx.

The outside is just cut to size. I needed to square up the outside first so when I go to mill out the inside it sits square in the vise.

I'll finish the outside once I'm done holding it in the mill vise.

You may be confused because I wiped it down with mineral spirits for the pics. Here's what it looks like now.

Boden, that box is amazing. There's only enough room for 2 batteries though? Looks bigger. Will this be regulated or unregulated? That wood is outstanding!
I'm considering making it a squonker. There is enough room for two cells, the DNA75 and a bottle inside.

It's the same walnut crotch I used on the last one. It's junk wood around here. I can see 15 or so black walnut trees from where I'm sittin on the porch right now.

For junk wood it sure is a wonder in your hands. I'm lucky I can get a board down on my back porch that turns out OK, never mind what you can do. I'm honestly in awe of what you can do. Makes me feel like I should really learn how to do some stuff. Not like that. I'd be happy to just a build box with matching sides that will stand flat on a table without wobbling and not fall apart if I look at it too long.

No joking. You really are amazingly good at this.

Thank you. At least now I don't feel like I was missing some major procedural tactics. :)

100% agreement. A very talented artist/machinist.

    Storm... that would be a good name for a mod. Or call the mod "calm" and the tank "storm." Maybe we can get Boden to build it...
    So it'll be a cloud chasing tank then, obviously.
