Hello and good morning everyone!

@Reflections Thanks for the kind words and for stopping by, glad you like the pic of Major! He is so much fun we have been having a great time!

@ataxian I hope you are enjoying that piece, was fun to make! I can do you a solo wong if you like, you know how to get at me, just holla when you are ready!

@FlyingLow Holy shit bro, damn I had no idea your hobby could be that dangerous! You gotta watch it and hang on to those digits. I know I hadnt seen you around in a while but am glad to see you back and happy to hear you have healed up! I appreciate all the kind words, thanks so much! As far as custom work turn around time, I am still going at 2-4 weeks. I am not taking custom orders this week, just got a couple to finish up and gotta get some Vapman and Lily pieces made for retail this week also. I should be back taking custom orders next week so if you wanna get some work done just let me know! Once again its damn good to see you round my man, I wish you well and thanks for stopping by!

@little maggie He was born Dec. 13th so that puts him at almost 3 months, I am glad you like him! Give me this week to get some Lily stuff made and hopefully you can put an order in first of next week so you can get one in your hands soon! I am anxious to get them out there and see what you all think of how they perform! Thanks for stopping by and I look to hear from you again soon!

Hey @Ed's TnT I guess I messed up my post somehow so later when I get to the hotel I'll take the time and put the pics back in for you.

 

[Ed's TnT]

@Melting Pot Do what you can when you can bro, I hope all is well your way!

 

[Melting Pot]

Hey @FlyingLow Glad to see u back around especially with all them fingers still attached!!
You know who I got those beautiful wood blanks from @Snappo
And you know who worked there wonderful Magic to make them look so beautiful @Ed's TnT
Here's the stack I picked my blanks from and some pics

Thanks again Ed and Snappo I really love them.
And by the way Ed "MAJOR" is looking tough!!!
I posted this earlier snappo wanted the pics on his thread. So I copied and pasted the whole post it was frowned upon my bad.

Forgot this Sorry for all the pics that's just how much I love them.

 

[little maggie]

My beautiful Haze stem just came. I'll try to post a picture later.

 

[FlyingLow]

Jesus, here comes the wood porn again

I actually just got engaged a few hours ago, and will be treating myself to something special in the near near days My girl is dancing and I am on clouds

@Ed's TnT ~ at the scale we work, these are super dangerous. to paint a full picture, my wound would have been much worse and lost a hand had it been with our larger heli (9 foot rotor blades spinning at 4,000-6,000rpm), but my wound was caused by a y-6 multi rotor with six 14 inch blades. Even after a decade in the business, I made my first critical mistake. It was a reality shot worth stitches...

For a taste of how we roll, check this out... Many will not understand or believe what they see, but this is all RC (no strings).

This will fuck you up if you get hit... the HD camera's framerate cannot even keep up with the speed of the blades.

@SSVUN~YAH Wow, I have never seen that before, thanks for posting that image, I appreciate it!

Your more than welcome Ed!

Holy shit that is legal? I would be running for the hills, you are a braver man than me! Fire up that Lotus, glad your back, thumbs up on that!

Good morning everyone! We got a snowday today! The boys school has been canceled, have about an inch or so of sleet piled up on the hood of my truck. They say the worst is said to come at daybreak. WOOT WOOT, its bout to get ignorant round these parts! Remember I am only a 1/4 mile from dirt roads as long as you have gas in the tank, gonna wait and let the boys wake up and we are gonna get stupid! Gonna be fun to get out and enjoy this rare blessing from Mother Nature.

@Melting Pot Thanks for the post, I still cant get over the beauty of that straight amboyna stem, its a freaking stunner my man! @Snappo is the man, hes up there with Mother Nature, if it werent for her doing what she does and him searching the world for these treasures I wouldnt be able to do what I do. Thanks to you all for giving me the opportunity to do what I love. I hope yesterday went well for you and wish you better days! Oh dont you know Major is gonna be getting in on all the fun today, wouldnt be much fun to leave him out of all the good times me and my boys will be having today!

@little maggie Glad to hear the bird has landed, pls do post up, would love to see the whole rig!

@FlyingLow Watch out my man, congratulations on getting engaged!!! I so wish you two many many years of great times and memories you will carry for the rest of your life! Holy shit man, are you freaking kidding me, is that you with the chopper? Hell no, thats asking for certain death! Yeah its cool to watch from the other side of the screen but Ill be damned if I stand next to you. Be careful bro, you got someone else that needs you now, wear a freaking helmet and body armor, lol!

@SSVUN~YAH Hope all is well for you!

Ok, well thanks to @steama the lily stems are going back to redesign, not that there is anything wrong with the straight stem idea but after speaking to him there is just so much more that can be done. So thanks to Steama's kind kind agreement I will be getting his Lily back very soon and will begin turning these ideas into reality. I look forward to the work and hope you all will like what I do.

Well the sleet seems to have slowed down somewhat since I got on here a little while back, maybe a good thing but come on Mother Nature dont fail us now, give it hell, we need snowmen to build, snowballs to throw and hands that need freezing!

 

[Reflections]

Congratulations on the engagement @FlyingLow.What Ed said on standing by you while flying the copter omg you are lucky it was just a thumb..thing looked like a flying saw blade lol.

Morning Ed, hope your stem making day is great!

 

[DieHard]

@flying low good to have you back. Congrats on the engagement! Dude, that chopper is the sickest RC thing I think I have ever seen! Total controlled insanity. I'm stunned. I just imagine a pilot passing out after the first trick, or possibly being flung out! Impossible at 1:1 scale with pilot. That may be my next hobby. That MUST be a very expensive learning curve.

 

[Enchantre]

Thank you for the maple wong for my NANO!
Now I need one for my SOLO!

YAY!!!! now, no more broken gongs!! wooooohoooooooo!!



I am so very happy for you, ataxian!

I've never lusted after wood as much as that Amboyna stem... OMFG!!! *drool*

Birthday is in August... I can wait.... *sigh*

[djonkoman]

hey ed, just wondering, how are you coming along with stems for the arizer air? read a while back you were working on it, but didn't see anything recently. already broke 2 stems so I'm looking forward to the moment I can order one from you that won't break

 

[Ed's TnT]

Well hello and good morning everyone! I hope all is well out there! The snow day for the kids wasnt what we were hoping for, Mother Nature let us down, but hey the boys were still outa school and that was cool! We hung out, got caught up on DVR good stuff, we have really gotten into History channels Legend of Superstitious mountain. Oh we dig that kinda stuff, we so love treasure hunting and supernatural type stuff. They went back Friday and watchout now they are off for 9 days, its spring break in these parts! Oh they are excited! I went to Walmart yesterday to get some groceries and all that, plus picked up some crappie gear, when its this time of year the crappie are nailing it and wow are they alot of fun to catch. Its back warming up here, supposed to be 63 today with highs in the 70's next week but quite a bit of rain in the forecast. We are gonna squeeze in some fishing regardless, count on it!

@Reflections Good morning, thanks for the post and for stopping by, hope all is well for you and yours!

@DieHard Hope you are enjoying that sunny weather down your way, have a great day bro!

@Enchantre August cant get here soon enough I am sure! Wish you a great weekend!

@Snappo Keep it up, keep those goodies a coming, you are doing a great thing for so many people! And WOW watch the hell out, what a collection of UD's you have there, damn it my man, I so dig those pieces, freaking stunners!

@ataxian Good morning my friend, not sure if you have got that order in yet or not, if not do so and it will go out first thing Monday! No need in breaking any more glass bro, just a headache you dont need!

@djonkoman Hello, my guy just finished up the bushings for the AA yesterday, gonna try and get some wood turned for them today or tomorrow to see how they perform, sorry for the delays, its been go go go round here for the most part with no end in sight! Stay tuned for updates on those soon!

Alright, alright, now its time for a little show and tell, @NickDlow wanted me to do something for him with a SS UD bushing, told me the sizes and said to make it burly, I did a little digging and found a sweet piece of Buckeye burl I had put back. Turned out to be one of what I feel to be one of the finest pieces I have ever made, really like the detail this piece has, its hard to show in the camera but there is two eyes looking at ya if you turn it just right. I hope you all like it as much as I do!

Hoping for more to share and show tomorrow, wish you all a great day!

Beautiful work! @NickDlow has plenty of great wood, I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you sent that here. I'm going to have to save up for a big purchase bc your work is incredible and I want sooo many things!

@Frederick McGuire & @Vitolo have been very creative with gifs and pics lately...

A fish fry with this crew would be an outstanding and quite comical outing I'm certain!!!

[Ed's TnT]

Watch out, anybody else wanna throw something in? Yall ever heard of that old story/fable Stone soup?

Some travelers come to a village, carrying nothing more than an empty cooking pot. Upon their arrival, the villagers are unwilling to share any of their food stores with the hungry travelers. Then the travelers go to a stream and fill the pot with water, drop a large stone in it, and place it over a fire. One of the villagers becomes curious and asks what they are doing. The travelers answer that they are making "stone soup", which tastes wonderful, although it still needs a little bit of garnish to improve the flavor, which they are missing. The villager does not mind parting with a few carrots to help them out, so that gets added to the soup. Another villager walks by, inquiring about the pot, and the travelers again mention their stone soup which has not reached its full potential yet. The villager hands them a little bit of seasoning to help them out. More and more villagers walk by, each adding another ingredient. Finally, a delicious and nourishing pot of soup is enjoyed by all.

Sounds like a good time for all! I know I have seen it mentioned one time here or there in a thread here at FC about an FC meetup kinda thing, itd be a hellova thing and I would be more than happy to provide the place/space to do something like that one day! Good people, great eats, even better drinks, vapes all around!
