All the blocks went out today.  They should be arriving by Friday.  Even for you Cali folks, expected delivery is Friday.  Just in time for most of us to get snowed in over the weekend.

LOL; I expect that you'll be hammering my block out then since we're both going to be under snow.

Love all your work Nateman! If there are any doubters, his work is top notch. Another great project to add to your arsenal.

Got mine in Cali yesterday ... If anyone is on the fence, you have got to see it to believe it ... The quality is amazing. Nate I couldn't be happier! I might be adding a fourth Dark (most likely), so if no one else needs to jump in on this next Vreg batch, I'll add one more. If it's full Nate, just keep it in mind I'm adding another set. Man this block is sweet!

Nate; do you have any official completed photos?
 
Just like to get idea of how they are setup so I can start re-designing my loop for when the next batch gets made.

I found them; are you doing engraving yet? I saw your work and it's sick.

Thanks!  I am not geared up to do engraving.  There are special spring loaded collets etc that i don't have.  I can do some fancy extrudes, but the smallest bit I have is 1/16", and I only use that for the O-rings.

I have sent blocks to Italy before with no problems before.

I haven't done a block for the kingpin 780 card yet, but if someone needs it, I aim to please.

The tool diameter is 6mm and the machine has a custom collet, not a standard R8.
Acesi7, can you let me know the tracking number so I have an idea of what day they might be delivered?
I need to make sure I am at home.
Cheers

6mm is kind of large for the Vreg block, but the chipset is workable.  You need something more like 2mm or less on the vreg.

6mm is just the cutter shaft diameter, I sharpen my own cutters so can engrave
from 0.2mm up to the 6mm wide (shaft width)
:-)

We'll I've just received word that our blocks have landed safely in Sneaky's hands. So we'll have our colored engraved blocks up and running soon!
 
Hey Sneaky, I'd love a "Before, During and After" set of shots if you can get around to it. :)
