Hello everyone, seems I am running about a month behind like normal round these parts. I hope all is well for everyone and the summer is starting off nicely. Been awful freaking hot this way way more so than whats typical this time of year. We went straight into summer with a sweltering 100 degree heat for a few days ughhh. All is good here just slammed as ever probably even more so with all thats going on. Have released the PipeScents and am nervously awaiting feedback from all the customers. Really anxious to know and fingers crossed all is positive. I am told dont sweat it, its a winner winner but cant help but be nervous as its like sending out a little one into the world all by himself. Did em in Cocobolo and Blackwood
Only did a few in Blackwood and majority in Cocobolo. Moved almost all the first batch, way cool. They should be arriving today and be in the hands of most users. Really enjoyed making these and look forward to doing more ASAP. Am hearing good things about it from a couple users and will be posting a video demo/review of it from one of them soon.
Am going to be moving this month again, moving back to the country. Gotta move the family and now 2 shop buildings but have everything lined up and should be dry as a bone so praying this goes smoothly and there is no hitches in the giddy up. Looking like the shop and the biz will be down from the June 21st - 30th. really hoping its back up and running before the 30th and so so praying not to many past the 30th if there is any unforeseen issues. Thats going to mean that orders will be delayed and and hope you will let anyone out there know if they make mention.
Have also begun turning the new 2019 WoodScents design into production.
Its same size OD and in length. I changed up the midsection giving it a couple v grooves and center angle as well as a couple burn bands to accentuate them a bit. Did the larger wider groove up high near the top, wasnt planing on it but the thumb fits nicely in it when holding. Think maybe it was subliminal, made me want to hold it more so lol. Left a sharp edge into the upper cavity with a slight angle for a flat edge to another sharp edge. I have posted pics on IG and overall everyone is liking it but there was a couple that didnt and hey thats fine. I am working to release these into next month after the move and all has settled down.
Am doing more and more pieces for the DV, not sure I told you all I have added 45mm MS to my site and also added 3 species I am offering internationally in Ebony, Tigerwood and Canarywood. Have also done a new style 45mm length WPA in 14mm that will be sending the first batch to a good dealer of mine in the UK. Am sure I will be adding these to my site as well in the near future so stay posted.
Uhhhhh not sure but think I have covered all the happenings and goings on round here for the most part. If I didnt pls get at me and will try to do so.
@Alex3oe Omgosh, Senor Chance has become quite the member of the family and an intergral part of the shop team lol. He is quite the character and has been needed round here for a while. Sure do miss Mr. Biscuits, he will never be replaced. Senor Chance has been a blessing.
@Madri-Gal Hey thanks for welcoming him, I appreciate it. I also appreciate all the kind words you have been sharing for the stems I did for you, am most grateful and thank you for that. I am glad to hear you are enjoying them as you are and hope you do for a long time to come.
@Modicum Lookout, you back in the saddle again!!!
@AJS Bro you so deserve that trophy, you are the MAN!
@Ramahs You are so correct in your post, there is alot to like about the WS and to each their own right. Wood is good and WoodScents makes the best sense. Yeah be hard to compare it to the DV sinmce its not capped and the only thing the same is the tip and the filter disc within the WS tip.
@LesPlenty Bro you rule with the 2 WS a once!
@BigJr48 I believe there is but there is so many factors and variables that can play into whether it is or isnt. This is a complicated question and see there has been many comments on this subject, am trying to catch up now.
@flammy I am glad to hear thats so, maybe by now you are. I feel you are right about the air flow restriction. I am glad to hear that you are enjoying the WS more and more. I have said it here before many times, a good finger grind to your material then using the straw method load the tip, give it a light tamp just so you dont have any debris falling out onto the heat port or so it isnt resting on the filter disc, then draw long and slow for the win. As for variances in the heaters there should be none to very very little if any. These arent stock ready to go heaters, they are made when ordered and in a batch where they are tested at the end of the process and pass or they dont and get trashed at the manufacturer. Thanks for spreading the word of the PS and posting the links, I appreciate it.
@arb I feel that for flower. I have never had kief in it so cant say but with flower somewhat not so tight loads with flower work great and air flow is better.
@Chandler I feel you "In my opinion however, you must grind your herbs for best results with WS. Then it reciprocates nugs in vc. better flavor, potency, hits. The whole convection thing comes to mind, n makes sense. WS is not vc. They're just compatible." Wise words.
@Dynalowrider Wow bro its been a while and #13 huhm gosh have done alot since then, am well over #500+ now. Glad you found that gem and have gotten to use it again, lol scorpion arent cool at all and can ruin a good time quickly. Is good to see you round here and hope all is well your way.
@Modicum I like how you said that, nice.
@UnevenPizza Hello and thanks for stopping by and your interest in my work. WS is a 12V system, let me know when you order as I have 12vPS with the EU plug configuration I can put in your order. You will be good to go and ready to rock and rip. Just turned a beautiful 2019 model in Thuya this morning.
Hope all is well everyone and wish you all the best.
