never got my bowl pushes from pfox_64

[Rojas]

so i ordered some bowl pushes from danny (pfox_64) on june 8. he wont contact me and i have not received my pushes. does anyone know this guy? i have sent him emails and private messages both here and on paypal. i feel like im getting ripped off. anybody have any input on this? thanks in advance

[jr23]

hey Rojas it took me about a month to get them he had some mechanical probs and such but once it was all good i got mine, its just they were glued together so I must rebuild other than that they are Great. But your going on second month!

[jr23]

I have been waiting for like 2 months on a foot pedal from someone but I wont name names cause I still think its coming he answers 1/2 my pms . And hes a good member probably busy. But when I order something from a individual not a business some times it takes awhile. and no its not smuttboy but I would have got a smutt if I new it was going to be so long.

i got a couple of pushes from the same dude it took a while but they did make it .
as for glued together ive had no problems with that and will just reglue with high temp glue if they come apart
i like the pushes they are nicely made IMHO

[jr23]

I like them too it was my fault using small push to flare some hvy wall and it squirted black old spice smelling glue out the tip I will thread them. still nice handle and shape I am happy just like threads. no glue is high temp to our standards of high temp.

JB Weld works wonders with our high tempetures.

[jr23]

I guess glue is fine. I just like solid bonds. I just dont like glue as a option for most things there are better options not bitchn I am happy with tools use them most every session.JB weld is the shit .But if it smokes and smells toxic and you see and smell shity smells well their are better options, to each his own . As mine pop off I will thread them. And I bought a reamer as well and well use it for a flare and your nose hairs will stand on end.

Glue is gay they should be drilled and tapped, and threaded onto the handle.

I was gonna buy like 100 dollars worth of tools off him and I held back, kinda glad I did.

[poncho]

i also ordered pushes off him and never recieved them yet

[n3rd]

took about a month, very high quality i really like it a lot. i did notice a small amount of glue coming out during the first bowl i pushed, wiped it off and since then haven't noticed any glue; i only use this for pushing bowls.

Hi guys (rojas) and (jmosk9),

I sent you rojas and jmosk9 an instant message, im sorry guys i was unable to reply to anyone for the past month i got stuck in the Pokey and had no way out. But i am goin to take care of my customers even though by now im sure they hate me.. I am goin to send these guys some extra pushes with their orders to hopefully make up for this insane delay on my part. Again sorry for the delay guys.

Thanks,
Danny



Hi previous customers,

I see you have been having some issues witht the glue i have been using. I have been using jbweld, but its the Qwikweld the 4 minute stuff. I see that its temp is only 400 degrees the normal jbweld is 700 degrees. I will be switching to the higher temp glue on any order from here out.

Also i see the consensus is to have removable graphite from the handle. I am not sure how well that would work but i can give it a go. Seems like it would need large threads else the graphite would crumble, i will try one or two with standard machine threads...and i will try a few with some allthread to put them together.

Thanks,
Danny

Danny I found a good effective way to thread into graphite is to drill the tapping hole over-size.

It will actually give you a 'flat thread' in the hole, but hey there's no great strain on the thread anyway is there so that is acceptable.

If you use the regular tapping drill as for tapping steel it tends to rip the graphite. I also just use the first (plug) tap and screw the pieces together just a wee bit more than finger tight.

Glad to see you able to keep up with your customers too, hopefully you'll get some more.

[jr23]

What Swamp said is what I like, You don't get a ninja sword for nothing! Hell if the wiki worked I am sure he would have that info in there telling you check the wiki bro!

[pacosaki]

Tapping graphite with 5/16-18 threads is really no problem. Drill the right size or a touch over. Use the plug tap. This has the long lead in on the front. When you tap, it sounds like you are breaking the graphite. Kinda feels like it too, but if the graphite is good quality, it will tap with not problem. Get your tap with the TiN coating...this looks like the tap is gold plated. it is an extremely hard surface coating that helps the tap cut with less friction and last longer.
Then, as Swampy said, screw your all thread in and let it bite into the threads at the bottom of the hole. Put a touch of glue if you like, but really there is no need. Should last till you drop it!

Has anyone heard from this guy or recieved any of the items they ordered. Im still waiting on my paypal dispute to get my money back but I ordered one of his marble molds and never heard anything. Its been almost 2 months

[jr23]

Well I see he has not registered as a vendor yet. I also seen his molds for sale on e-bay! No responce to this thread and the e-bay thing leads me to think he is not vending here anymore. Hope it all works out Muph.

[Udai Hussien]

I knew something strange was a foot when he had a website on geoshitties, and a payapl account. I heard through the grapevine that he is in (or was) in county lock up, so good luck on getting your stuff guys.

[MUPH]

He only made one response on the paypal dispute saying he shipped the item, but never provided a tracking number or anything. I'm sure i'll get my money back
