That looks genuinely awesome. Any major difficulties with the construction?

Almost done.... wasn't happy with the window/frame so still deciding what to do with that and it needs a good polish up.
But here it is working so far. (still have to drill vent holes yet which I nearly forgot about in the rush to see it working).



size comparison with Provari 18500 and 18650.






On with making a charging stand to match now..

That's the best box mod I've seen so far

Wow. VB tagged me and I missed the notification - my bad.

I've been following this thread anyways. Nice work Mev. Love the idea of the charging stand too.

Really your attention to the detail is outstanding

Also glad you sorted the windows issue

Not really no, it was pretty straight forward. I didn't do any real planning as such I just knew I want a trim top and bottom and walnut body and just went along from there. If I was to start again there would probably be a couple of things done differently but that's the same with any project I suppose. I kept it as small as poss and it was quite a squeeze to get everything in.

made a start on the stand.. will finish it tomorrow.

I simply love box mods - and that one is awesome!!
You are very talented indeed. If you ever decide to make some for selling, PLEASE be sure to let me know.

I hope you have many a good vape on that bespoke device

Liking the base charger as for the screen surround am sure you could still inlay a 2mm thick piece in there nice and flush.

I've trimmed the original frame down and fitted that lol

I got bored so did a bit more and milled out the back too. lol



Just to drill for the Fibre optic/led's then sand and polish the base and fit everything in.

Lovely job M8

[prr]

That is a thing of beauty, are you planning on making and selling them Mev

[Mev]

It just wouldn't be feasible prr as i've put too many hours into it. I am still thinking of converting my Mill into a CNC and if I do that would make it more probably to do stuff like this for sale though. It would be a couple of months off though if I did. Short answer = not right now no. lol

And then there is the stress side of making them 

My hair is growing back ever since i stopped

[Mev]

LoL aint that the truth mate.

someone asked earlier what finish I used for the wood but I couldn't remember the name. Chestnut friction polish www.axminster.co.uk/chestnut-friction-polish , it gives a really good finish by hand but a really high gloss if used on wood in a lathe.

Stunning work Mev

Charging stand is done, lights red when charging and turns blue when fully charged or nothing on. It'll do for on my desk
