So, as Shino eluded to in this thread, we made a nice sized batch of sticks a little while ago.

The whole project got a little out of control with bad weather, sickness and other obligations getting in the way. We got almost everything cut that first weekend, then had to redesign... blah blah blah.... everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. Let's just say that a weekend-long project turned into 4 weeks. :P

Let it be known, however, that this whole thing could not have been done if not for my wife, Lisa (Oddbit). Sure, I did all the wiring, hardware and initial design - Chris helped out with a lot of cutting, drilling and chipped in for some of the parts, but Lisa really kept this thing going, put in a s**t-ton of manual labor and had her hands in pretty much every aspect.

Thank you, love.

In any case.... I didn't get a chance to take as many pictures along the way as I wanted to (as we quickly fell behind schedule), but I got a couple... Chris might have some too...

Ken's Stick


Lisa also recreated Sheng Long (I asked her to go into detail in this thread - so more on that later)




Geoff's Stick

There are a few more that we did, but I'll let those guys post pictures if they like.

I'll post mine when I get home.

Yeah Jason and Lisa did most of the work. I tried to give them as much help as I could.

Confirmed. Chris offered to come over a lot, but due to our schedules Lisa and I usually ended up working on them pretty late at night... after pappy Riccio's bedtime.

Yup... I like to get to work at a decent time.
I'm not an Insomniac like you are J.

Holy crap guys! AWESOME WORK!! Have you ever thought of making a couple to sell? I'd definitely would buy one from you guys........I'm dead serious.

Actually... we have.
However, it's a ton of work and with our schedules it's hard to commit to getting them done.

We have been flirting with the idea of an Annual Joystick party (total not gay).
So we'll keep you in mind if we do that.

Looks proper ace -- nice job!!

Time to mass produce the Official VGEVO fighting sticks, me thinks.

Nice cases, but I despise those ergonomic hippy button layouts.

Wish I had the skills to build a case like that.
