Hey FC!
I've had the pleasure of playing around with this bugger for a few weeks and wanted to chime in.
Currently I'm using a Ronxs single/dual flame torch with only one flame engaged.
I prefer low temp hits and as you can see by the anodization on the cap, I aim towards the top. For heat up I...
Yo FC!
As always, I hope everyone is kicking as much ass as possible and that your 2021 was better than your 2020!
I squeezed out many things this year...here are some of them.
2021 Induction heaters
2021 Single PIDs
2021 Dual PIDs
2021 PID/IH combos
2021 Dual VVMS based off...
Hey folks.
Just wanted to post some pics of some recent builds.
Hope everyone is safe and sound!

Hey FC!
I'm just about finished with the first "production" batch of Matrons.
There were some tweaks to the design mostly to clear as much space as possible inside because it's tight in there!
Here are the first three of the five piece custom order batch that I'm working on.
Rosewood and...
Hey FC!
I've been tinkering with my smallest portable IH to date.
The Timberhead Matron is 4" x 4" x 2.5" is powered by a 1000mah lipo battery and has 2 toothpick holes, 2 Vapcap holes, a 10mm x 5mm magnet and the heater.
I'm currently trying to nail down the rear panel for repeatability and...
@scy123 I tried that configuration on a couple of builds last year. Those batteries worked pretty well. The boost board is what really turned me off. I just don't want to add that many failure points to any build.
And I'm certain that many other builders/tinkerers have tried the larger...
Hey again FC! I'm just checking in with a couple of recent custom IH builds.
Bloodwood and purpleheart are definitely two of the more popular wood options. I love them but they are super dense and very difficult to machine.
I had an order for a Zombie last week so I made three for shits and...
We are having zoom poker nights that are peppered with all kinds of debauchery. Still, it isn't the same but at least we get to check in on each other.
Glad you announced it Pipes!
I've sent out 5 units with the newest version and the flat heat shield is a significant improvement and I'm sure that any steps to ease assembly and/or troubleshooting are a great relief.
Congrats!
I just finished a new prototype for a Bluetooth boombox with an IH that I've been working on for quite some time.
I knew that I wanted it to sound better than even the higher end bluetooth boomboxes already out there and I wanted it to get loud as I imagined taking it camping.
Of course...
Yes the bases fit both versions of the Rio, however the newer Rio torch is a tiny bit wider than the original so I fit the newer torch. If the original torch is loose, a 1" piece of scotch tape near the top of the torch resolved the issue.
Thanks for the business @Shrike, @Terpenetime and...
Hello FC!
I'm Timberhead Paul and I make wood stuff in my basement.
I got my start when @edstnt asked me to make a stand for his Woodscents and I've been rolling along since.
My stuff won't be everyone's taste but that's cool with me. I try to approach every project from a fresh perspective...
