You didnt answer the question Jay. Will you give a refund to those who paid if they do not like what you produce.

Oops! I meant to answer that Pete. I apologize. Yes absolutely. There will be 100% money refunded to anyone who doesn’t like the finished product. (of course).

I am going to be working closely with a professional welder (my partner on this) to make these parts look like the reference pictures. I am very excited about making these parts.

Update:

All the stock is in. I’m welding tomorrow (Sunday) with Rick, and we will be very excited to show pictures at that point, the target is 5 sets tomorrow, so Parts will be ready to go soon soon soon, very excited! I can’t wait.

UPDATE

Sunday afternoon: We worked today and I put a hold on it for now. We had to make some adjustments and we’re picking up some new supplies Tuesday or Wednesday.

#1. Priority is the look and accuracy of these parts, so I have to be there very critical of the process, before I let Rick continue welding. Next Saturday we will push forward with the adjustments we made today, the look will be much better and up to our standards.

All in all, I’m very happy with what we have done so far, but the perfectionist in me wants to make these sets absolutely beautiful. I’m scrutinizing the look closely because I want to see the reference pictures when I look at these parts.

Everything is moving steadily along. I’m guiding the ship on the right course.

Thanks!

–Jay.

UPDATE

Friday Feb. 18th 12:40am

I’m excited. We are welding tomorrow again, having made adjustments & I’m excited! Ion arms are being made!!! V-Hooks are being made!!! Yeay!!

UPDATE - 2-19-2012 Sunday

We welded today and I am pleased with the results so far. We were almost done with our goal of 5 sets when the “nozzle” thing on the welding gun broke (part where the gas goes in, i think) and we had to stop. Rick has tomorrow off because of the Holiday, so he’s finishing up then. We’ll post finished pictures this week and begin shipping sets.

I’m going to start finishing cleaning these up and then drilling and tapping all the correct holes. I’m picking up 27 more sets of circles from the professional shop. The next sets are only going to get more perfect, I can’t wait! I’m also picking up the Ion arms from the pro shop and V-Hooks… We are going to be welding the Ion arms as soon as they’re ready.

The injector here is not the best one, but the welder broke as we were working on the second one.

They say show off what you got so.. here’s some pics:

I love the N-Filters!!!

Woo Hoo!!

Those welds are huge, are you making the next batch smaller?

</div>

I can. You’re talking on the N-Filters? I thought they needed to be smaller I guess I was right. I’ll talk to Rick. I need to polish them up. The whiteness from the welding process is making them look bigger than they are.

I just polished up the first one and it looks a lot better. The whiteness from the welding process is making it look bigger than it is, but I’ll have to post pics anyway. I got metal finishing pads on my way home today.

The HGA’s welds I tried 2 different methods, the smaller weld on that is the better way too.

I’ll put up the pictures, so you can see what I mean. I have to finish drilling and tapping all the holes as well.

We are almost done with the first 5 batches. The next 27 sets I’m making, I’ll have to take the feedback I get and hone down- the process a bit, so everyone’s happy.

See what I mean, polished vs. unpolished? I can make them even smaller still anyway if that’s better. I’m hearing mostly that they are good. I’ll compare more to the reference pictures. (I was thinking smaller myself)..

EDIT

Talked to Rick. We can make them smaller going forward if that’s preferred. Yes.

More Parts That were completed today:

**\*\*The first 5 sets are almost ready to go out. \*\***

I have to polish, drill, tap and fill the PPD cylinders, and make the Injectors brackets…

Rick is finishing the Booster Tube Plugs and those have brackets on them.

Boosters are the last thing, I’ll cut the angle depending on your shell (or future shell) And ensure the overall length is correct.

Thanks.

–Jay.

Definately..

I shouldn’t put up pics until they are all shined up and finished, but I’m getting excited.

We will be making the welds smaller from now on if that’s preferred.

I’ll have more finished parts / pics soon.

Thanks!

Fantastic! I wonder if down the road there may be an option to have these powercoated? I don’t know if you have anyone local to do such a thing, just throwing it out there 🙂

PM sent.

I’m finishing up the sets.

I have big news. Lots of stuff is welded, and just needs some holes tapped by me. I’ll be working on updating the thread this weekend and having sets ready to ship out.

Thanks!!
