The Nomad From Morwood

All ya'll thought that the Nomad itself was the star of the show, but no no, IMO it's this heater module.
Excepting me, your astonishing heater was my primary reason to order Nomad. The beautiful and excellent craftsmanship was the second, though it is absolute selling point and sufficient reason by itself.

Is it wrong to get an erection from a heater module? Asking for a friend.

Then came Stu's friend.

The problem with the SS pin is that it couldn't dissipate the heat fast enough. So, actually, the brass pin originally used would have transferred even more heat back down to the PEEK insulator. Either way, I tested the PEEK insulator with the SS pin and it's just fine, well within temp limits.



An all wood stem would be doable!

I'd like to make a two part stem, with wood for the main body that extends out the top of the Nomad, but glass down below for the bowl area.

A WPA can be adapted easily because of the standard sized glass stem.

Now, onto the events this week. The new heater module design is born!

All ya'll thought that the Nomad itself was the star of the show, but no no, IMO it's this heater module.

I've developed the new and improved silver braze joining method. These connections are on a whole new level, stronger than the base metal itself, many times more resistant than the old stuff, it's mainly pure silver, cadmium free (of course).

The brazing technique was much more involved than the previous low temp silver solder. Brazing nichrome is no easy task, and it's only made more difficult by the tiny scale of the joints.

But the process is figured out now, and all is good to go for making these heater modules.

Here is one finished up. It's probably the toughest thing I've ever had to make. SO pumped about how it turned out!

Notice the tiny stainless set screw. You can loosen this screw and spin the insulator disc to adjust the tightness of the wound coil. Wind the coil tighter, and the coil will let in more air around the outside, creating a tighter weave near the center pin. Wind the coil looser, and the weave will open up around the center pin, letting more air flow through the center.

Beautiful as always!

I've sent out the emails to take the next batch of orders. If you thought you were on the reserve list (the list that I made for the people who *just* missed the pre-order batch by a few seconds) and didn't get an email, just let me know!

@Hogni Whoa! That's awesome man! Following! P.S. - Your boards are great!

@Dan Morrison,

I can't find the order list of the first batch anymore but I know that @Prolusio was a prospective customer of the first hour of this project. I only want you to point out as a precaution that he passed away on 02/27/18 as here was announced.

It's a pitty he couldn't enjoy the Nomad anymore.
:rip:

He was #004.

RIP @Prolusio.

They are the 25 folks that got into the first round @little maggie.

We got an email with our exact number.

@Hogni that's a beautiful collection of photos!

I got my email, and I'm so excited to be in this next group! I've been looking at the paper selections, and it's going to be just as hard to pick a favorite one this time as the first time I looked at them. So many choices!
 

Hogni

Honi soit qui mal y pense
Thanks, but I'm just the simple collector of all these beautiful pics. They are all so good they are art by themselves and it was my pleasure to collect them. So better thank Dan.

I guess better hard to choose than no email notification :cry:
But would feel the same ;)

Well, I was having a bit of trouble picking a paper, then I saw it. I just requested my first and most likely only mock up. I still reserve the right to change my mind, but I'm calling it now :love: Nomad 028 is going alpha!
I'm jealous I thought I "saw it" as well like 8 times and now I have 8 mock ups coming! :shrug:I hope I don't annoy the man, but it's like vacation the anticipation is half the fun!

That Burl tho is happening for sure!
