Yes, Iâm still planning on coming. My wife was going to come with me, but it looks like she taking my daughters to a ballet. So, it may just be me. Iâll be there at some point Saturday.

I would love to, but I am the designated representative for that afternoonâs performance of Chicago. We like to have at least one family member at each childâs performance, and since they have a minor speaking role (reporter/one of the narrators), itâs sort of importantâŚ

It looks like Iâll be bringing 154 nickels. Not all exactly equal quality but generally good I think.

Wish I could. Too far away. I somehow never even heard of it until this yearâs, but then itâs only been since Covid lockdown when I first built a V1E machine.
you hoping to cash those in or bet them?

That makes sense. This is the first one in the right mountains (Colorado). There has been a midwest one for a long time, and I was scheduled to go in 2020. And an east coast one.

What are those made with? I thought that was lasered, but the more I look at it, it is obviously inlaid but with what?
Those are inlayed. He posted a link above how he made them⌠
Canât find it thoughâŚ

These are made from 1-1/8" dowel from the orange store, inlaid with padauk.
Initial set was a long time ago (already then thinking of giveaways for MRRF).
I updated the procedure so I could batch them out.
- Tape down padauk blank (endgrain strip cross-cut from a board)
- Tape down several round coin blanks (cross-cut from dowel)
- Using surfacing bit (dovetail bit) cut padauk and coin blanks to consistent known thickness
- Switch to v-bit and carve pockets in all coins and cut plug shape in padauk strip
- Individually separate plugs and glue into pockets
- Wait for glue to dry
- Switch to surfacing bit and plane down coins slightly below initial surface
- Remove all coins and sand slightly (surfacing is not quite smooth enough)

Well my machines got delayed in shippingâŚshould have arrived in a few hours. No new delivery time but they are in Colorado about an hour and a half from the event so I am confident they should get there tomorrow. Fingers crossed, the pucker factor has increased. I had hoped they would be there Tuesday.

I have a profound sense of âI am missing out on somethingâ here.
Have a great time, all of you!
Donât worry about your stuff, if all else fails you could go to every booth and get them to make one part of a machine as a festival project!!
