I would love to learn how to do some mods. I probably wouldn’t offer to mod for people online, but I would love to learn how to do it for myself, and maybe my friends. What tools do most people use to do a silicone recess?

22

most of the great modders have lathes. Some use drills and some have drill presses. For the recess if, you don’t have access to a lathe, is a jewlers screwdriver.

29

For those who care, I am now offering modding services. The List has been updated accordingly.

Moved myself back to the active area. Just ordered a new lathe and I should be up and running in a couple of weeks. If you’re one of the people who’ve been waiting on me to finally replace my broken lathe, get in touch. :slight_smile:
