Thanks for the update Kenom.

I hope Pontiacg5 is ok. He hasn't been responding to PMs (I PMd him about a week ago) and before that he was very chatty giving me info on lathes :). Then all of a sudden he seemed to disappear.

I received the Grooves in the mail today. I'll start the anodizing process and keep everyone updated as I go.

The finished krytons are getting closer, very happy with this news :)
Hope all goes well for you and the anodizing process Kenom.

As far as Pontiacg5's situation goes sure hope it's nothing serious:yabbem:

^^^^^^^ bringing to mind --

You wouldn't happen to have a head for a Kryton Smooth, would you, Ken (or anybody else)?

Sorry guys, I won't be around for a bit longer. Our house received some pretty serious damage so I've been working on moving stuff out of the way to fix everything. Kind of have to hurry, winter's getting close...
My dad is coming back to town to help fix everything this Thursday, he's leaving on Monday so I should (hopefully) be back then. Unless a truss or something decides to knock me in the head :D

Are smooths just a groove without the grooves? If so I have two "smooth" barrels that I would swap with Ken for somebody if it's alright with him. I don't have any grooveless heads though...

If anyone needs to get ahold of me for any reason e-mail me, pontiacg5 et riceprecision dawt com

The "Smooth" was smaller. It was designed for two 16340 batteries.

22mm-OD -- 17mm-ID

It preceded the Groove

I have not been able to do anything thusfar with the barrels as the weather has been very cold and the anodizing bath needs to be above a certain temp to work. that being said I am looking for a heated garage with electricity that I can do this stuff in. has to be well ventilated as well. I refuse to breath sulfur dioxide. I will keep everyone updated.

Thanks for the update/status Kenom. Much appreciated.

I imagine just polishing them will take a century or two. For those that only ordered them without anodizing are you going to work on them now or wait until you can find a place to do anodizing? I remember you saying that they will probably ship first since they don't need anodizing. I ordered a mixture so I know I will wait until all of my order is done... Not worth me paying for another shipping charge just to get the bare polished ones early.

I believe (unless you've sent one to ken,) one of the 2 "smoove" barrells is mine, as I spoke to you and ken about it a while back. Obviously I'm not going to be especially disappointed if i get 2 grooves, but I think that is the reason for the 2 smoove barrels being created

If the anodizing is going to hold things up, Ken, I can take mine in bare, polished finish.

Peace,

Cold is what you want... Warmth speeds up the process, but can
lead to a 'soft' oxide layer, or even worse burning.


You can place an aluminum plate on the anode and the tank will
come up to the desired temp...
