Devo is right, it's a block of cherry wood, and what you see on top of it is the Elk Hide. The block (and shrink wrap) keeps the Elk Hide straight till you are ready to use it. The block has a groove in the bottom and a couple of rubber bands are in there too. This forms the clamp used when you...

The tubes are each sucked with a four horsepower shopvac after boring and shaping, then washed in hot soapy water, then vacuumed again. IE. we do our best to rid the tubes of anything that isn't nailed down permanent.

The Buzz-Butter is similar to Peanut Butter or Ketchup (catsup), in some ways. Solid till it is moving, a clean finger-nail, or clean knife edge will scrape enough up to make the material soft. It changes under pressure. And it's pretty plain that a warm PD will accept wax and oil easier. Get it...

Yeah, I know buddy. ;) HighSti, Here is the thing with the Pandora Kit, you are being taught to fish. You can take these instructions and make one that looks like... Whooohaaoo Godzilla ! ! ! Just kidding, somewhat. ;) I expect all kinds of variations on the theme. :D What I am saying is they...

NO, no... I get your reference Lwien, but this name is very much prior to that. I don't mean ancient myth either. This idea came 'bout March 2008, just after the crossbar invention. The idea was if anybody (copycat) opened the box, I would do this. ;) BTW never seen it... :cool: You know I live...

This is a little askew, but related. It has been mentioned that some contributors are using English as a second language. I am amazed at the effort, and courage, it must take, to write to a mostly English speaking audience. :tup: How the heck, can they make sense of some posts... in English...

Pandora is really just a concept, not a unit name so much. It's still a Purple-Days, but purchased as a Pandora Kit. :cool:

Hey there, thanks for your support. :) Yahoo mail is down or Pammy would confirm your order. Anyway shaping tubes: I get the polypropylene in as 8 foot x 1/2" solid rods. I cut them to length and then drill them through, then drill for the vapor tip. At that point they are a tube but the...

Sorry for the difficulty, thanks for letting us know, now we can see that it doesn't happen again. ;)

Yes, that's what we need, Lwien. I listen. :2c: BTW it may not have been a bad length of tubing either. I cut the tubing with a roller cutter. If you don't crank it down enough on the first spin round you can get a barber poll with the cutting wheel, so I may have been cranking a little too...

I'm heading to the shop right now to test some holes and a bit of tubing from a different length of 1" stuff. Be back in a few. Several test holes with the Freud 1" carbide bit (fairly new tool in the shop, so it was suspect) and a new length of tubing. The holes should be somewhat snug, it is...

Devo, I will check on the hole size. :/ I recently ran into a few tight ones myself, first time this has happened. But knocked them home. I'm thinking I had a piece of stainless tubing that wasn't quite round. Hard to believe that a Freud 1" bit is not 1" but I will check that too. Either way...

Lobsters, mmmm. I'll tell you, if you can guess where the Don Ho came from. :lol:

Hi BDB, the PD Original is sold through VapeNow, but I think I saw (from another thread) that you were interested in the Pandora, which we (Pammy and I) sell and ship. The two products are handled very differently. Pandora Kits have a 3-4 week waiting list. And shipping 1st class mail through...

The Purple-Days Original had a small purple LED when we first started making the unit. LEDs are vulnerable to heat migration through the wiring. A failed LED, on a separate circuit never stopped a PD from functioning, but was annoying. So we stopped producing LED units in late 2008 and went to a...

Fender Blues Deluxe (Re-issue). Glad you are enjoying BuzzHead. :tup: The Double Barrel Porta-Billy ;)

Nothing like the sound of analog into tubes. :cool:

Been away for a while, but haven't forgotten the contest. Current King of the Heap :D The two previous Kings of the Heap :) Honorable mentions: :cool: Because we lived in Florida Because I always wanted a Don Ho post a card Because we just like some folks. Ditto: Because I'll...

Thanks for the feedback on the pics and vids. Sometimes hard to judge your own teaching skills. An expert doesn't always make a good teacher. I just got through a set of instructions for installing an on-board tuner for the strat, replace pot, re-wire etc. but nothing hooked up where the...

Time for a PD break. :cool:
