Oddly enough, it wasn't the electronics that I was worried about. I know I can do that. My worry was whether or not I can carve the Ironwood. :)
If you don't have a mill I would do a simple constructed box. Like a jewelry box.

Nope, no mill. Most of my woodworking (or metal) tools are for large things (like building cattle fence, stalls, etc.), so I have a table saw, a few circular saws, sabre saws, bandsaw, scroll saws, drill press, lathe, grinders, disc sanders, belt sanders (yes, I do have a random orbital sander too)... but if I want to go small, that's where the Dremel and it's thousand tiny bits come in. :)

My as yet unworked out plan is a block of 8/4.

On band saw resaw battery door off.

On DP with Fostener bit hollow insideout.

Going for the "billet" wood look.
That would work well. Big forstner for the hogging and a small one for the corners

Well that wasn't easy, I used a hairdryer to take the carbon panels off, along with a craft knife and some guitar plucks, it came off so good that I can use them again if I wanted. Cleaned all the mod up and carefully placed those Abalone sheets on, man, I nailed it. If they look a bit off in the picture they ain't, if anything, the alum housing is a little off. Lovely greenish, yellow, goldish color to them but on the picture on the left, the sun caught the abalone and I managed to capture the picture, oh wow, this thang is flash. I don't usually like these colors but me loves this mod now, what a difference those panels have made. Boom, respect to dat.
ohhhhhhhhhhhh so somehow this is where I quoted this. :facepalm: hehehe well it's still beautiful!! put more of a message on the other thread lol

An extinct olive that grew in Zimbabwe and was found buried in the red clay.
wow......that's beautiful! Hope they put at least some if not all of the rest of that in a museum or sumpthin so folks can see it. Amazing you got some of that.

So now to deal with what I hate about the Reo. Hate hate hate hate the top fire button. Hate it. Did I mention I hate it??

No battery gauge. Fine for around the house but useless everywhere else. I will not carry extra batteries. Back when I used mech I dam near wore a Bat utility belt. The Dripbox had USB charging which while not idea makes it at least useful. Either way I hate the variable vape of a mech. I like same thing every time.
sorry ya don't like yur Reo. What kind do you have? Does it have the new contact and adjustable 510 pin? For some folks that makes a difference, for some it doesn't. They also have the p-67, although we're waiting for another run that has a side fire button. But again that may not make a difference for you. If I'm going out, I make sure I have a full juice bottle, and check the batt. If it's gittin kinda low I don't mind taking others with me, or I'll just pop a fresh one in before I leave. For me that's much easier than having to take a charger along and trying to vape while it's charging, or take two mods or whatever. But different strokes.

Not that I can get one now but, was recently looking at Reo's site and saw the P-67 with the side fire. They look great to me, never been a sqounker but have wanted one for a while. Ill hafta look out for the new ones you mentioned! Even top fire with a Button Cover would work for me. :D

I wish I bought one of those Kangxin VF Squonker clones that @DingerCPA and @chopdoc got some time back!! :facepalm:

he's also got some budget ones and blems that are cheaper. He's such a perfectionist that even with a blem you're very unlikely to find it. You can always email him or call him to see if he's got any blems that aren't listed, sometimes he does. Just found out he's got two more small runs of p-67's coming up. One will be available June 24th, then another about 5-6 weeks after that. This thread is a good one to watch. And you can check the stock updates tab on reosmods.com
The Reonauts new lounge earthrocker works with Rob in the shop.

Yeah the button covers help a lot. Some day I do want a p-67 I love the shape of the woodvil, and it's just much easier on my hands. They also have some easy squeeze bottles that are wonderful!! If ya have any questions, lemme know!

Well, truth be told, I like the Dripbox better, even though there's no regulation. I sometimes struggle with the TC on it. It often asks for a resistance reset. I find the juice feed somewhat clunky too.

I wouldn't mind a regulated squonker, but I don't want to cough up the money at this time.

No saving the Reo for me. Button is awkward. Bottle is awkward. Feels like a brick in my hand.

MUCH prefer the Dripbox. Actually like everything about it except the fixed 510 that won't read my Malstorm which I am starting to believe is the best RDA ever. It came with a solid pin for normal use so I may convert it to a regular dripper.

Half of it is at the University of Zimbabwe in Harare. It was found by a farmer who sold it to my friend who kept half and gave the rest to the university.

We also brought in two shipping contaners of other more common "exotic" wood to be sold in the states. Made a tidy profit.
