Thanks for the heads up re: the website guys.. I thought it was the server but we've got several other websites on the server that are still up so that's not it. @ OTA - wishful thinking dude lol, looks like the database is down for some reason, I'll have to try and repair/rebuild and see if...

Wow, I've had a busy day in the shop and haven't had a chance to really check back in on this thread until recently and I have to say, well, wow it's really moved on and in a great way. Seems like we've rounded a bend and are really on track to a good and productive conversation. Well done...

@ SM - really happy you like the caddy and the stems man, I couldn't resist making the stem to match the space modulator but wasn't sure how they'd look mated up.. looks pretty good to me. :tup: @ stickstones - thanks dude..

@ SM - what makes you think I don't have something in the works like what you describe? ;) Not saying that I do, or that if I did it would have a disco ball or if such a thing existed that it would also be known as the Disco Dog. :p @ Abysmal - I like the sound of that fusion arc design dude...

I'll power up the flux capacitor to make sure we can drive all these Cerberus's at once and have them ready for you guys.. :ninja:

You're always welcome to stop on by the shop here and test drive a piece or ten everyusername.. :p

Heya dudes how's it all going around here? Been a long day around these parts but I got a bunch of packages shipped, some appointments appointed and still managed to squeeze a couple hours into R&D work. Come on UD-XL, take me away! :cool:

Thanks for the additional information on the insulation Mom. When I read them I don't see any undue cause for concern so I think you must be right in that we have very different philosophies on the subject. I can respect that. I'm sorry to hear that I won't get a chance to try and change your...

No problem, wish I could be of more help. If I get different info in the future I'd be happy to share it. Do the several specific brands of alumina fiber insulation read differently than one another in any significant way? Maybe only brands that have some kind of specialized formula bother to...

MoTG I don't have more info so no-can-do. A printed version of the MSDS that I linked to is what was included with the insulation I got. A lot of materials supplied buy industrial supply houses aren't brand-specific which is why they will use a single MSDS to cover items of a same type. So when...

Thanks for checking on that zmurder, I don't have an HI so I'm just going on other peoples statements and pictures. I didn't say the hot air path is open to anything just that the core, which includes the air path is physically open and not able to keep things isolated. With the plug I mean that...

I have to disagree stickstones, while the PD is by far the most "open" of those designs all of them are open. The pod design is open because the bottom of heating chamber (core) is not closed where the resistor is inserted and the incoming air travels through the wooden body of the Pod to...

Oh, I didn't post an MSDS for the insulation since it didn't have any real precautionary statements but if you want to see it here you go: alumina fiber insulation To answer your specific question on design I would disagree that the HI, TT, PD and the Pod have closed core designs. I would...

::edited: sorry for the back to back post. Thought there was a comment in between.::

Very true stickstones and I agree with your logic as well. I was just making a general statement of support and agreement with Hazy not one of specific application. The irritant risks of wood (and similar natural materials) tends to be the inhalation of dust and/or a skin reaction from...

Awesome Gandalf glad the VVPS is got things all dialed in for you.. :tup: Not sure if you've already seen it mentioned here before so if not I'll repeat it. If you like to leave your piece running 24/7 with your VVPS you can turn it down to a 'standby' voltage of 11-12v and then turn it back...

Good points Hazy and great info.. I think Banksia pods are a great material (as you already know). I've turned bunches of them over the years and have never seen, heard or read of anything that would give anyone the slightest concerns in my experience. I read somewhere (but have never...

I was going to post a pic of it cause it's damn pretty but I decided that I'd let Peloton have the honors.. it is after all his baby. :)

Heh, I remember that piece! :D Oh yeah, that's cause I was playing with it this morning..

@ darkrom - Mom got the piece directly from me and it was new and unused other than the standard pretty exhaustive burn-in period and testing here. I'm pretty sure she was using it with the stock power supply I provided so I think we can rule out most of those concerns. It did go through the...
