Please remember - he does not have time to sit! It is just for guests I guess ... and that is clever, because they won't stay that long. Well planned Charles :p:Quote:

Good Luck Charles.
no idea if you mentioned this already or not, but is that workshop near 101 national ave. in vancouver?
could you post the dimensions on the bench, this may be my summer project once all the damn snow melts. . .
Thanks for the latest installments Charles. That's an awesome set up and the view is going to make your work look even more impressive. I've always been in awe of your mastery of image and substance. I think I need a murderMod...
And I agree that is an awesome old Drill Press :D
Thank you for the comments and words of support Guys. :)
I haven't been around as much as I'd like due to my current workload. Nils has got me working on many new designs which is keeping me very busy! Zen Frog was whispering something about a mutiny but he always was rather lazy. He pretty much just sits around all day with that hopeful look on his face - like he's waiting for a handout. I told him there are no free lunches and he better start pulling his weight. His arms and legs may be fused to his body but he could at least try to make himself more useful. If he doesn't shape up I'll send him to either Kirk or Nils; both of who've got cats that I'm sure would enjoy batting him around all day.
Speaking of Kirk, we're in the process of moving the North American murderMod shop from Canada to Kirk in Minnesota. This seems like a logical move since the large majority of the store's sales are in the US. The main pluses are that shipping will be cheaper and turnaround will be much faster. We'll also finally be filling out the murderWare section of the store and completely restructuring the sleeving area with the addition of many new products and options. Kirk will also be starting his first two murderbox builds within a week. I've just finished prepping the case mod portion of the builds and have sent the cases to Kirk where he will work his magic and complete the builds. Nils and I are very excited as this is a milestone moment in our business - the first murderboxes in the US! It's going to be a very proud moment; seeing someone else build a murderbox. I know Kirk will do an amazing job. :)
Sorry for the wall of text but I just wanted to give you guys a bit of an update. My schedule has been insane the last few months but the net effect will be many new things to show very soon. :yepp:
Cheers. :toast:
Yes, very near. :)Quote:

charles...as you know im a huge fan of your work and we have talked about parts for the FT-01. any plans on doing front/back plates for them?
keep up the great work as always and now hopefully you will have an order from me soon. i took a break from awesome black to pc's to play with awesome black guns lol but i will be getting back into the modding world soon.
Very nice workshop! That's a million dollar view too right out of the workshop!!! Too bad that wall couldn't be a wall of windows! Anyways, just wanted to comment on your workbench. Looks pretty nice and sturdy. If you do plan on going through with that lower shelf, I might just suggest that you add two more 2x4 crosspieces, one on each side, in those center areas. Just for the extra support! Depending on how heavy the stuff you put on there will be. Doing that, you could probably also get away with a thinner sheet of plywood to save a few bucks! Anyways, I'm sure you've got it under control :P. Thanks for all the wonderful pics!
Mike
:shocked::shocked: Charles I need my fix of murder mod, show us some new stuff pretty please :shocked::shocked:
your mad if you're going to sleeve that bench
:ROTF:
hmm, maybe I should dust off my saw table too :up:
Golly; I forgot about this thread! :hitself:Quote:

I will say that there is a LOT of stuff in development. :yepp: All kinds of stuff. Some things that have already been revealed and others that are totally new. Just know that even though there's not a lot of recent activity, there's a lot going on behind the curtain and things will start making their way to the light of day soon. Doh! there's that word again!
Cheers. :)
I'm pretty sure everyone's waiting in anticipation :)
Hey Charles,
Is there any chance us Cosmos 1000 guys will be able to get a Murder Mod fix?
I hope this means that soon I can give you money and you can give me some of those beautiful res mounts that we've been seeing. Also kind of wish we could get some MurderMod love for us TJ09/10 users(unlikely).Quote:

Charles you're such a tease :P
seriously. I'm about to start my cosmos 1000 customizing (finally, after a year of having the case filled with a rig looking boring and stock)Quote:

I haven't looked closely at that case but from what I can see, there's little room for improvement. Perhaps a closer look is needed. :)Quote:

One day when I have some time, I'll construct a more advanced solution like that of the T-Tracks. Thanks for that link. :)Quote:

O.O That's right, I said "soon" Oh noes!
