Would Love One Of These

heh - I'll see what I can come up with this weekend and will posts some pics here - I have some scrap pieces of pine lying around that I can do a tester with, see how it works out. I'll do a simple design first, then if it seems to be not too labour intensive (time for me is always an issue) then I'll take it from there
Awesome, and whilst you are at it, some of these as well:
Wow @Matthee, that is awesome.
My late dad, who was a medical doctor was also a woodworking hobbyist. If he was around to witness my vaping, he would have built me something just like this. Best part is he could adjust it for me as i went along. He had all the tools and all the saws, goggles and all.
He actually made me a stand for my printer and a magazine carrying mini side table and a few other items which are still in use on a daily basis.
so any chance anyone has a m7 tap lying around with a 0.5mm pitch?
My late brother was also amazing at woodwork, although with his drug addiction in later years he didnt make anything but I remember as a child (He was in his teens then) He was forever making stuff for my mom - made her this really awesome fold up table and a key holder shaped like the map of africa and awesome boards and and and! He probably also would have made something like this if he was around today, It would have been a good venture for him
Should be off-the-shelf available at tool places like Adendorfs and larger stockists of bolts & nuts
For ??
M7x.5 tap is the 510 connector size, seems he is going to build a Mod? Correct me if im wrong?
So I threw a few pieces of scrap pine together as a test/design exercise. Please don't judge me on the quality of this work - I measured nothing and I was working with scrap wood that is warped, chipped and generally well, scrap.
I like this design with the sides, makes it feel more sturdy and will prevent batteries or juice bottles rolling of the sides.
Finished product will be stained, the edges will be routed (didn't want to fire up the noisy router on a Sunday) and of course lots of varnish - also a lot more holes will be drilled for tanks, bottles, driptips etc., but as a first pass I think it went rather well - didn't take too long to do this either
Things I learnt from this exercise:
1. Drilling big holes like this in wood should be done super slow - I tried to rush it and the holes came out looking really ragged
2. My 'shelf' for the mods is too low - they look top heavy this way - I think it needs to be another 25mm or so higher
3. I didn't want to use screws, just glue, but I think I will have to, just to pull everything tighter together, otherwise I'm going to sit with gaps
Anyway, comments, critique and suggestions welcome

Yep - the final product will definitely have a spot for box mods
I'll start a new one during the week and give it a bit more of a serious effort
Cool - yep thinking of doing a RBA workstation too - spot for coils, kanthal, ohm meter etc. - then maybe a DIY juice station too
Thanks Stroodle - gonna make a proper one during the week & weekend, and will post it up here for sale - then I'll make them as I have timewow @Derick that is a stunning looking stand
Like these 2 - (Pictured for normal ce5 style attys aswell as big guys just as an idea)

- Once I have the design down, building them should become quicker as well.I have a nice cherry wood stain that I want to use - the finish should end up looking like this key/mail holder I made a while ago - that's 4 layers of varnish if I remember correctly - so that's going to be the part that takes the longest - but if I make 3 or 4 at a time it might speed things up too - will see

Awesome! I like it as is though
Lol I prefer the Pine lookYep, I moved my tools outside in the shade, there was a nice breeze going which helped - and of course I took long vape breaks
Awesome! I like it as is though
Well not having to stain would save a lot of time and hassle - stain can be very temperamental with pine because pine is so porous - took me plenty of tries to get a stain that worked well and didn't end up looking like stained pine
- so I'll give it a go with the plain pine look and see how it turns outDoing proto typing products (mainly electronics) as a career I think you did a stunning tester there! I do agree with the other comments re extra holes. Looking forward to the next stage.
Thanks!
Yeah, gonna be plenty holes, for mods and for tanks & juice bottles
