I think it's difficult to convey the beauty of purple heart via pictures. I find the wood to be so rich in person. That is a stunning stand and heater. It will have one lucky owner for sureThis will be the last time that I route purpleheart!

Yo VA! It's been too long!
Happy New Year to everyone and I hope your holidays went swimmingly.
My new job is keeping me very busy at the moment and I'm looking forward to a week off late February to hook up with @Ed's TnT and @phattpiggie in Vegas for Champs.
I've been primarily cranking out plug-in induction heaters since my last visit and of course some holiday gifts for the in-laws and my family.
I just got an order for two G43 stands so I only have one left. I'm surprised that I sold 19 out of 20 so far as production on the G43 has slowed down considerably.
These 2 are padauk and canarywood.

This Mobile Executive might be my last battery powered IH purely because the battery adds so many failure points. I haven't had any problems yet, but can't afford to put myself in a position to cover shipping back and forth when so many are international. I might reconsider later but I love the simplicity of the plug-in heaters.
Anyway, this one is walnut, wenge and purpleheart.

I prototyped the Cow-catcher IH. The prototype was in 150 year old reclaimed chestnut.
This was a fun one. My first production Cow-catcher in bloodwood, wenge and purpleheart.

Cutting boards for mother-in-law and mom in walnut, hard maple, chakte viga and mahogany.

4 Zombies in bocote, canarywood, chakte viga and one in purpleheart/canarywood. That was a crazy piece of canarywood!

4 mallets that I somehow didn't get a good shot of (My dad got one).

I've got a few things in the pipeline too but I'm having trouble finding the time at the moment. Hopefully work will settle down a bit and I can spend some evenings and weekends testing out some ideas.
Thanks for looking and I hope everyone is kicking butt!
Hey again VA,
It's getting hot in Pittsburgh but thankfully not as crazy hot as in the northwest US. I hope everyone in the heatwave is finding a way to stay cool and safe.
I've been really focused on tightening up my pid builds and thankfully folks have been ordering them so that I get the opportunity.
The only component that wasn't completely recessed on my first couple of pid builds was the controller itself. It has a rather thick lip on the outside that protrudes about 5mm.
It was a bit challenging ironing out a repeatable and accurate way to align the recess but I am believe that I have it nailed down.
These first ones were to test how thinly I could make the pid and to test the recess.
I discovered that I really hadn't cleared out enough space for the massive amount of wires so I redid my template to make it easier to cleanly run the wires.
Then came my first dual pid setup with the additional space for the wires.
Another dual pid with an IH heading to Thailand.
I also wanted to test out how securely I could hold the elev8r in an 18mm glass fitting.
Once again I retooled the template to more securely hold the pid. This is also the reason that I tried to work out the pid in the first place...to combine an email and IH in one piece.
The blank space on the left side is for either a flowerpot post or an 18mm glass fitting to securely hold a dc elv8r and similar style vapes. It will be up to the customer.
I hope nobody minds the IG links.
I believe that you can view them without an account and they each contain multiple images.
Take care everyone!
