The Nomad From Morwood

[nickdanger]

I've narrowed down my selection to a few papers, but I'm still having a hard time with the idea of covering up that wonderful burl. It's too pretty to cover up!

Did you get an overview of all designs from Dan or out of what do you have to choose?

Everything is pretty much the same as what he gave us for the first preorder batch as far as material choices and costs and such, except now it's 300 for a base unit, the abalone is the standard button instead of the lichen, and it only comes with the standard heater module included

Thanks, ok that I didn't get up to now.
Is it possible to get more paper sleeves for additional costs?

You will have to purchase a whole base since it's all connected to the wood. Dan will do it but it will cost extra.

The paper sleeves are connected to the wood??

Does that make a real sense?

Yep it's all one piece once it's done. Just slides right over the base with a pressure fit.

I just took a look at Dan's first post introducing his thoughts on what ultimately became the Nomad. I was amazed to find that he’s kept some of us entranced (well, ME certainly) for over 2 years now.

Let’s see now, that’s approximately 740 days, so if I checked the thread twice daily (a VERY conservative estimate, I’m sure) that would mean I’ve viewed it about 1480 times! Then, on top of that, he forced me to start watching Instagram! The man is devious, I tell ya! Devious!

I am SO looking forward to receiving my Nomad. Of course, then I’ll be checking the thread for others’ usage tips, and Dan’s accessories and modifications. This could go on for years longer!

Woof, came in here to read about the email and saw the news about @Prolusio and am now very sad.

Yep makes perfect sense when the wooden base is the battery/heater cover/air intake and the paper sleeve is the means via friction fit to hold it all together.

I think I can see mine in the above pics, unless anyone chose exactly what I did. Unlikely though with the amount of options. Fantastic work @Dan Morrison looking great!

A wonderful person gave me their place in line. So now I get to order a nomad!!
Looking back to see which paper I voted for way back. Somehow I was able to narrow it down even though now there's at least 50 I would choose.

Now I can't find the section where we all posted our favorite papers. Is that still around somewhere?

This thread maybe ? http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/dans-nomad-mockup-shipping-thread.24768/

Thanks for that! Didn't know this thread and was prior confused where you did get the view of possible papers.
Fuck it! Just about 100 pics I've to take in addition to my Nomad pinboard on pinterest!
But looks so nice to see them gathered What a collection of beauties!

First half is done, may be the 2nd half will follow later in the evening (8:45 p.m here in Germany) Hope the overwiew will make it easier for you to decide which paper sleeve you want to have. Cheers!

Has anyone had their nomad designed around an image not in Dan's papers?

Yes, I went for a custom cover.

I put a basic image together for @Dan Morrison and he came up with the idea of using tissue paper for the larger objects and I assume he'll use something like a fine detail pen for the rest.

I hope you'll post it when it's ready.

I'm hoping @Dan Morrison posts a pic as soon as it's ready, he's a much better photographer than I am. Also he makes vapes too

This makes me so, so happy. Welcome to the club, friend.

Congrats @little maggie and everyone else in this batch! I don’t know when the rest of us will get ours , so enjoy them for us!

 

[little maggie]

Another question- what is the width of the glass stems? I need to use a whip or water but prefer a whip so may have to buy a stem with a thin enough stem to fit a whip.

@ZC, I will be looking at this detail a bit closer. I'll see if I can simulate a fault, and see just how large of a tear it would take. Perhaps a design change is in order, we'll see. I think that I could add a radius to the ID of the brass plate, and make the hole a tiny bit larger than the hole in the wood body. Essentially creating an air gap between the battery and brass, so even without a wrapper they wouldn't be able to touch.

A note about glass stems, I've gone with 14mm OD, 11mm ID.

I don’t think it’s changed, so it should be 14mm on the outside.
