Second Mod - but which wood??

[Raguri]

Have you heard of hell freezing over? Back to Uni in September no chance of making something so complex...

Was worth a try
Then again, I was used to milling machines etc so I was a tad spoiled, no idea what you have to work with

Aaaaaaah, so he does it the proper way instead of the cheating way! I have a lot of respect for people who can do that.

It's not often that I miss much about my ex husband, but he was an antique restorer and had all the wood working tools you could ever want and then some!! He also had offcuts of exotic woods etc. I don't miss spending hours sharpening the chisels using three different stones, so you shave with them! or hours of French polishing.... it was great fun playing on the wood turning lathe though.

Double post!!! Is there a poltergeist on POTV...

Tried 3 variations of a box mod but the post below shows how far I have gotten... not very... LOL

I have been trying various things and this is what I have so far.

Nice slide on box type, still to add top and bottom, didn't want to try making it in one piece....

Will fit a 18650 battery, but may look at making something smaller

UPDATE:

Little more work and the basic shape is there, now to do the innards...

Thanks KulrMeStoopid and Blossom between family commitments and other projects I'm getting there

I'm actually really enjoying doing this, which has surprised me as it is such a small thing...
