Looks good. Cutting rear to line up also right?

 

Yup after I get the bed setup situated for the full weight then flex it out

 

2" should do right?

 

@Boogyman at about 1.5" from full compression with 2" cut out of the rear. I think it's the sweet spot from what eddy and cap gave me.

 

I rub at full compression in the rear, I did 3 up front

 

Yeah you should that's why I cut 2" out in the rear and now I have about .75" from rubbing now when fully compressed

 

Currently trying to figure out how to do the DTRL mode. I've already looked at the free mod section and don't understand it very clearly as wiring/lighting isn't my strong suit.

 

My baby.....not quite as impressive.

 

@Boogyman My first pens.

 

Gorgeous! What kind of wood? It's got grain structure like olive wood

 

The guide I read recently said you had to buy a relay kit or something for around $60. Not sure how to do it for free

 

I did some digging and might have found an easy way to do it. I'll work on it tomorrow and see how it goes.

 

Hey @TenDollarTaco ... Thought you'd like this. My dad transferred the title to the truck to me.

 

Let us know how it goes. Just remember to unplug the battery no matter what you do...

 

That's a hard deal to beat!

 

Haha yep!

 

Ding, ding, ding! Top one is tiger maple burl and the bottom is bethlehem olive wood.

 

Did you use BLO or varnish to finish it? Do you have any use for soft maple? I got in a metric shit load of soft maple if you need any. Name the size and I have it lol

 

I just sanded and coated with CA glue, then buffed. Some alternate the blo with ca, but some say it will flake. I'm going to try some with just blo and buffer. what would be a good use for the soft maple?

 

I'm a firm believer in BLO and buffing.

Mostly chair making. My dad makes a lot of custom chairs and my boss had some he had cut. Did not realize he had 2 whole truck loads of soft maple for me lol. Do some research on what you can turn with it.
