Woodvils finish pics

[Steelgirl]

So disappointed. I got my Woodville today and I can not get ANY atty to fire. I tried calling Rob, no answer, no msg's being taken. I sent email to his @ reo email address. I've done several adjustments to center pin, all to no avail. I don't think the center pin is the issue. I'm just soooooooooooo disappointed. I'm in tears

Oops... the button was locked - lol.... Hey, I've been surviving floods in Houston all week. It's a mircle I'm even awake.

Just a thought, but one of mine wouldn't fire either. Turns out the switch was rotated counter-clockwise (locked in off position). It's nearly impossible to tell it's locked by the feel of it. Just something to check. Rotate it all the way clockwise and try it.

ETA: Whew! Glad you found it, took me a while to figure out what was wrong too

Got my woodie today after a small delay caused by happy fingers clicking away having it delivered to my house and not at work- where I'd be. I'll get it right next time! My firing pin came loose on me already. Wouldn't fire after working all day, so I started with the atty then the battery and that's when I noticed the pin wasn't straight. Got out the big Allen key Rob included in the first aid kit and tightened that puppy down. Problem solved! Thanks for making such a beautiful mod and thinking ahead of what we're gonna need to take care of it.

So glad ya figgered it out......I was so upset when I saw this, cuz I'd typed a reply several hours ago when you said you couldn't get it to work.......then got side tracked....and just now got back to it, and saw I'd never posted it! Anyhow, was gonna say that you might have to turn the 510 out a full turn, that happened with my grand, couldn't get it to fire at all the first night I got it. Had adjusted it 3 times, 1/4 turn each time, and just thought it wasn't working, til someone said I might have to raise it a full turn. Don't feel bad........heck twice I've gone to refill my bottle.....took that batt out, filled the bottle......slid the door on....... why isn't this vaping???????? put the battery back in it and works a lot better ding dong!

Gawd.. flipping amazing looking! I really like the zebra. Too many wood types I'm digging is really making it seriously ruff to pic a second woodvile out.

Rob really needs to get a good camera to take pics with. The stuff on his site does his mods 0 justice! In a way I guess it turns out ok as the buyer will be really thrilled to see it looking even better. UT dam. Would they all sell out in a hurry if people other then reo fans can see what the wood really looks like!

I like zebra too!

Got these two beauties yesterday! Bubinga birdseye on the left & cherry bloodwood on the right.​

After having the woody in hand, I feel like a huge doofus for not giving them a go earlier! 3.5 years of Reo's and never had the woodvil. This has to be the most cofortable thing ever. Oh and an amazing work of art! I think I may have become a Woodvil convert. I will keep the metals as I have to have a mower friendly and yardwork Reo but I may par down the number of metals

They had it first place I checked, at "OSH"

Bathed in mineral oil. I use it on all my kitchen tools, butcherblocks and wood projects.

There are still several (too many) beauties I'm drooling over. Every time I see a "real" picture of something I have completely discounted as an option, I start re-thinking it. For instance, that lacewood that @keepsmiling posted in the brag thread is just gorgeous. Makes me want...... Arrrrg!!!!!!

Has the entire Universe fallen asleep.

Unbelievable that their are STILL some absolutely gorgeous ones left.

Perhaps the fence sitters would prefer to wait another 12-18 months for the next run. /humor /lol /no offence intended /mild snark
