And this is the beauty of collaborative engineering. Thank you for your suggestions.
Tool shed rev-a and is only a starting point.
Dumping the avb will require removal off all tools. That's a good point I hadn't considered.
Is it worth an extra 50 bucks for adding a detachable (rare earth magnets) avb section.
Purchasing the base only is doable.
The armband grinder is 3" dia so a concentrate pad should be easy to acquire.
The insulated (wood) carbcap handles were started yesterday.
The smile on the face of the cnc lathe machinist when I handed him his first stick off wood was priceless.
The Alum dabber caps were also scheduled for next week.
Glad it was helpful! I’d pay $50 for a good removable AVB section, but I may not be in on Rev-A because I’ve got a lot of other stuff to pay for in the next couple of months. Plus I’d rather see how it develops a little before buying since I’m here a lot and I don’t want to end up wanting to buy nearly the same stand twice!
Also good news on the dabber caps! Assuming they come out well and fit in the stand, I’ll want a few of those too; same with an insulated carb cap handle.
On the concentrate pad, I could put one in the 3” hole in the old stand if I use the new one for AVB, but what I was considering was putting a rectangular pad in the AVB area on the new stand and just using the old stand for AVB since I wouldn’t have to remove tools to dump it. I have an armband grinder now though, so I’d want to use the 3” hole in the new stand for that.
By the way, can you explain what will and won’t fit in the bowl holes? Will the 6 that look the same in pictures all take at least 14mm and 18mm bowls/posts?
Oh, and did you have any specific ideas for the section under the hot post(s)?
Since I don’t see a better place for them I’ll probably use it to store a tiny screwdriver for tightening the bowl handles, Q-Tips, a brush and maybe a toothpick if it’s still useful after I pick up a decent brush.
Overall, while I don’t really *need* it since I have the round stand, I like it and I do want to pick one up when I can. For overall sales though, I am a little concerned about the price point, especially with a removable AVB section...I understand it’s a much larger block that is necessarily more expensive, but I recommend the FlowerPot a lot and the price of a full setup is already daunting for a lot of people.
Not a big complaint, just something to think about and maybe get more feedback on if they don’t fly off the shelf. Otherwise, great job as usual!
