Weekend Projects

I was saving to buy a hammer. Every month I came to the shop with the cash, the price increased.
I eventually screwed that idea.View attachment 211407 I needed a scarce weight of 28oz. Not a size needed alot.

A tool is a mans best friend! My Grandfather used to be a tool and dye maker back in the day and that’s where I learned the phrase “ if you don’t have the right tool for the job, don’t do the job”

Indeed. R600 28oz hickory handle in the right hands is plenty good enough!
 
Just finished my latest mod, been busy with it these last 2 weeks.
I was generously given a pcb and batt sled from a Vaporesso Gen by Hein from Juicy Joe's.
The 510 was shorting so I hacked the 510 from an IPV6X and built a box out of epoxy laminated denim.
The buttons are PLA from a 3D printer, I wanted SS but the reduction gearbox on my lathe broke and turning SS at 820 rpm isnt the way its done.
Have to admit Im quite impressed with all the onboard functions as well as the pc software dashboard.

The buttons match the drip tip. Well done it's an awesome job and it will give you something to do next weekend , making new buttons.
 
Something I just finished. It's still a little rough,IMG-20201117-WA0006.jpeg but who cares right now. It's rustic!
 
An extended weekend project that never seemed to happen.IMG-20201120-WA0018.jpeg IMG-20201120-WA0016.jpeg
I'm trying to find a suitable blade position that will still deem it useful.

I'm trying to find a suitable blade position that will still deem it useful.

Looks great. I am with @Stew , the higher position, but with slightly deeper notches for both thumb on top and forefinger on the bottom maybe for better grip when handling it either way and not letting your fingers slip onto the blade with forward thrusting.

This was what I originally went for. The scales are still oversized and once glued and pinned I'll sand it to fit in the hand.
I over thought it when I taped the scales in position.
 
Finished up some pattern molding boxes and a babington burner and wondered if there are any metal casters on the forum.
Looking for moulding sand and parting powder.

I haven't done that in a while. I have used lime. For both successfully, but then again I was just experimenting.. I didn't turn pro!
 
You definitely have my interest in this. I'm def a taker when it's available.
Thanks for the vote, alas the product is not at what I'd call a commercial level. :)
To be frank the juice did improve after 3 days, but one does get a very good idea in the first day.

We need to start production soon. I think three day steep is over enough. Who's taking orders. I'll run the Q.A.
