Woodchuck here. that's correct!!!! Wait until you see the flair portion,, LMAO

Anybody want to guess what the mold is supposed to be????

Why not just install a circuit board that could be activated by remote control to flash a very bright high intensity light out the front of the R2 unit, Like a flash bulb, while a "zapping" sound comes out of the speaker, as the operator says, WOW! Don't get too close kids, he's fully charged." harmless, yet very effective. If the operator pretends to get zapped, that would even add to the illusion. WoodChuck

Woodchuck here. This toy has been around for a long time, but I thought it was time to put a Star Wars twist on it. I cut the Imperial cog into the wooden base, added a short length of wood dowel, and here it is:

WoodChuck here. Hmmmm should I get into the resin/casting end of the hobby? I don't think so!! I will stick with wood and PVC, and I promise my quality will not diminish. When you said that the vendors are just trying to make a quick buck and don't seem to care about the quality of their products, that seems obvious from the photos you have to back up your opinion. As a vendor, I put customer service first, and would never use someone else's work without their permission. It sucks that you have found the bad guys, but we "good guys" are out here too. Woodchuck

WoodChuck here. OK, here's the deal of the century. I am willing to give away any blaster of your choice, to the trooper that helps me with this quest. As many of you know, Spud Trooper TC-6026, is my son-in-law. He recently graduated from ITT Technical Institute, with Highest Honors, earning an Associate degree in computer networking. He maintained a 3.97 GPA, and was invited to become a member of the National Technical Honor Society. He also has the A+ and CNA certifications. Spud Trooper is 30 years old. He and my daughter are willing to travel to the new job location, without restrictions. I know the economy is still very bad, even if the president says otherwise. I know it's hard to find a new job, that's why I'm asking. Spud is spending a lot of time sending out resumes. He is currently employed as a service tech at a family business, but isn't using his knowledge, skills, or abilities to their fullest potential. The employer that hires him will not be disappointed. Most tech-savy individuals are nerds, but Spud is a super-nerd. I am constantly amazed as what he can do with a computer. Be the one who finds him a job, and I'll build you a custom blaster FREE. It will be one-of-a-kind, with custom features found on no other prop replica. Thanks, WoodChuck

"The New Recruit" He is running to catch up with his squad, having gotten lost in the maze of tunnels. He must be a new recruit, as his armor is still shiny. "Solo Is Mine!" Boba Fett stands guard and fires his blaster as the carbonite block containing Han Solo is loaded into Slave 1.

Woodchuck here. This piece is going to New Zealand, so the shipping is going to be $$$$$ If possible, I want to keep all pieces I create for this project the same size : 24 inches Wide by 36 inches Long. This size makes it possible to include the maximum amount of detail. The actual cost will depend on the pattern, and since each pattern will be a one-of-a-kind, prices will vary. A $300- $500 price range should prove accurate.

WoodChuck here. I am going to offer this service only to those who appreciate owning a "One and Only" piece of unique art wall sculpture. Hence the name "Uniquely Yours". This is a commisson only service. Once a retainer is received, I will create one, and only one of your projects' pattern. Once the project is completed, the pattern will be destroyed. I will sign each piece I create. The method I chose for this project is called "Intarsia". It is an art form that creates images from small pieces of wood. Each piece is individually cut, shaped, sanded, then stained or painted before being glued in place on a backboard to create the illusion of depth in a three-dimensional scene. I have received national recognition for one of my original creations by winning a FIRST PLACE prize of $4000 from BETTER HOMES & GARDENS - WOOD - MAgazine design-a-clock contest during the year 2000. I have been published several times in woodworking magazines by writing informative how-to articles for these subscrptions. One of my wooden puzzles was just recently published in Fox Chapel Publishing BEST WOODEN PUZZLES publication. Here is a sample of Intarsia. This piece was created for Craigorski, a trooper here on the forums. It contains approximately 200 pieces. -----------

double post, MODS pls delete

Woodchuck here. Thanks, I am happy with the new service right now, but will keep your suggestion in mind for future use.

WoodChuck here. Many of you know me as the woodworker who scratch-builds prop replicas by hand from wood. Two years now I have been providing a quality product at a decent price., and have been blessed with many satisfied customers. However, from now on, I have to work on commission only, due to the high rate of order cancellations. PLEASE NOTE: A $50 deposit will be required to confirm any and all orders in the future. I have a NEW PAYPAL account. I have a new E-MAIL ADDRESS. Please PM me if you want the new information. I have been having trouble sending and receiving messages for quite awhile. Changing ISP's seems to have cured that problem. Thanks, WoodChuck

Woodchuck here. Ha Ha, made you look. !!! Sorry, I couldn't resist. This CAT-CAT is also my original design, but anyone is welcome to use the photo as a reference if you want to build one for your cats. I used a couple of 2 X10's, and some 1 by 8 poplar for the steps. the top platform is 1/2inch plywood. I covered everything with a cheap welcome mat so the cat's wouldn't slip when climbing up the steps. The pole is a cheap tension rod for a shower. I just cut it to the length I needed and then when you tighten the tension, it holds the CAT-CAT in place. You can't see the top of the pole. I had to cut a six inch diameter circle for the end of the rod to hit, so it wouldn't damage the ceiling when tightened. Enjoy, and thanks for looking. Chuck

WoodChuck here. I just got another request to build a DC-17 with a grenade launcher. I have been putting this off because there are several other vendors offering their versions. But, the requests keep coming to me, so I need some assistance. Does anyone have the spec's on the DC-17? Some good Hi-Res photos would be nice, and any measurements available that I could use to make sure my version is canon. Thanks for your help. Chuck

Oh Yeah! He loves it! spooky at night, lit up in a dark room.

Hey, I made a wall-mounted death star for a trooper a couple of years ago. Even lit up like a Xmas tree at night. Woodchuck

Don't Complain..............Don't Explain..........Just enjoy this short video clip. WoodChuck

Woodchuck here. Huh? What? Who? Where? What did I Miss? Thanks, and Happy new year!!

WoodChuck here. Kindness is contagious. I would like to send Vader Dave this Limited Edition SW weekends 2008 pin from Disney World. No strings, no hidden agenda, just to say thanks for starting this thread. Donald Duck is wearing storm trooper armor, and was featured in the daily parade. I think the coolest part of the pin is the little Mouse ear buttons on the back. Send me a PM with your mailing address. Enjoy, and Thank You.

WoodChuck here. over the years I have had several experiences with curious clerks. Now I just say, "Oh, I'm buying this to add it to my grumpleslixtedooger." If they persist, then I add, "Huh? Well yeah, it fits between the gorgledoing and flutersmuck." That's usually all it takes. I'm dead pan serious, like they are supposed to understand it all. Gets them off gaurd, wierd how people act.

WoodChuck here. I have been adding little SW stories to my posts as an attempt to make them interesting. The saga continues...............On a far and distant planet, hidden behind the shadow of three moons, there is a small business establishment known as "The Hole In The Wall Workshop". The owner's name is WoodChuck. All life forms are welcome. No helmets can be worn to hide behind, no politics, no violence. Everyone is treated equal here in the workshop. WoodChuck stays busy building sidearms, carbines, a couple of BFG's, even a DC-oppps, RC-15S side arm for the repulic commandos. Ironically, there are several show cases out front, but they are always empty, as the items sell as fast as they are completed. "What are you working on at the moment?" asks a two-headed mongrel, wearing rotten robes, and packing a HUGE sidearm. Woodchuck appears from the back room saying, " Hey Kcuhc, Great timing. I have just finished five DC-15 blasters." Kcuhc leans on the display case as Woodchuck hands him the shorty blaster. "HMMMM, very nice, highly detailed, light, durable, and ready to do battle." Yeah, these cost $190 shipped anywhere within the USA. I was packing them for shippping when you came in." Suddenly, a very strong aroma of sweet perfume fills the air. Both men turn towards the entrance of the shop. A tall, beautiful woman has just entered, saying, "Either of you seen JadesFire recently?" Her eyes sparkle like wine, her smile takes your breath away. "Grumpf....er.. nope I ain't seen her in months," Kcuhc responds, trying to keep the drool in check. "Why do you ask of her whereabouts, lovely lady?" Woodchuck says. Both men seem to strain to keep in constant eye contact with her as she moves even closer to them. "Jadesfire has something that belongs to me, and I want it back." At that point, she placed her purse on top of the display case, and began searching the contents. Several items were removed, scattered along the glass top. " Here's my card, see that she gets it, will you?". Woodchuck took the hologram, and the lady was gone. "Wow, who was that!?" Kcuhc growled. "MARA JADE" and a phone number is all it says", WoodChuck answered. " I don't think I want to be in Jadefire's shoes right now, she didn't look too happy." Here is a photo of what Jadesfire has that belongs to Mara Jade: -----------

Woodchuck here. I have just returned from my local post office.,after making three trips there today. I sent a blaster to a trooper in NJ, PRIORITY MAIL INSURED WITH DELEIVERY CONFIRMATION, only to discover that a substitute carrier just dropped it off in a common area of the apartment building without getting a signature. Come to find out, carriers don't need to get a signature, even on insured parcels UNLESS they are insured for $201 or more. I insured the blaster for $200. the trooper talked to the supervisor at the local post office who told him about the mistake the sub made. Now, the trooper has to report it to the police as a theft, post flyers in his papartment building, and realize there is a thief among his fellow tenants. My local postal clerk said that I couldn't file a claim because the receipts show DELIVERED, and called the customer a liar. He's out $190, no blaster, no recourse. From now on, I will tell the postal clerk I need anything I send to be signed for, and will have to pass another expense on to the customer. Bummer.

What about Fudrucker's ain't they the best of the best???
