VR Wood Mods bottom feeders kiwi style

[BobC]

Close enough

 

[inspects]

Sure did Blue, there is something special about the stabilized stock, only issue is the price! Thinking about how best to go about this, there are lovely top grade pieces for around $75NZ plus shipping, which changes things a little price wise...

Vaughn, I could care less what mine costs, its impossible for me to put a price on craftsmanship like this.

I know I'm still way down there but I have to agree with inspects.

Could you imagine a match like this .

That would be the ultimate dream.

Will be a couple of months or there abouts before starting, And making decisions on materials etc is not required until the job is about to start. I can put you on the list now, and you will come up in due course....

Thanks so much. I am super excited to have an oppertunity for such a beautiful device!

I like the 2 battery in the upper left corner. I like the curve effect. Of course I think I would prefer it to be right handed if I were getting one. [/QUOTE

Still working on the whale bone, houndb has elected to wait and see how that pans out before making a call on material, so his would be the first if it works out for the best. trying for the bone of one of these (they strand around 150km from here).

Kicking around designs after discussing possibilities with members from here, and have made a few sketches. Thoughts on these? The bridgeless designs do save some space, best in stabilized timbers of course.

These probably look the wrong way to most of you, I'm left handed...

+999,999 internet points to you sir for being a lefty!

Funny enough, I was just having a price argument with a friend, who was blasting me for wanting to spend so much.
To me the artistry and worksmanship that is so evident in these mods is totaly worth it to me. He said it should have a DNA 200 etc... But to me a piece like this is about the artistry not technology.

That's it exactly. And what I've learned, the hard way, is that when the technology changes those cutting edge, expensive regulated mods become worthless. But something like this never becomes obsolete.

And if you treat them right they last forever. Can't say that for regulated mods. I would much rather spend my money with Vaughn, CC, Pdib and Tbev than with Sunbox. The personal attention and craftsmanship are really important to me.

My bad Super. Of course Rob should have been included. Without him I would never have discovered the others.

Without him the others might not have been there to discover.

Funny thing is that (in NZ anyway) a building company will charge $60 an hour labour, a mechanic $80 an hour, with a similar level of experience. That makes what all modders do seem very cheap indeed, I would love to be able to knock one of these out in only 5 hours..lol. And iv'e had people here baulk at $200 with my early ones.

Most don't realize that $20 US for a cloned device is over a week's wages in China, or around $1000 in our money....

^^^^ I'm not complaining. [emoji41] In relative terms it's a bargain...

I think everyone here feels that way.

I'm complaining

Complaining that I don't have one in my grubby hands yet

 

[Loopy1224]

I am complaining that there are idiots who have the nerve to complain. Nobody is forcing them to buy a mod.

No wonder you got dropped off the list before.
