Smiley's House of Joy

Um, This is tough... I guess I could start with welcoming you to my custom airsmith page. Yep, I was supposed to have one of these a long time ago, but the old web master never had time to allow me access to put up a page or two. This page and pages linked will serve as an index of the type of work I do. Most of my work is on my forum - LINK - but some of the cool projects are showcased on here.

What is the "Arming the Underdog" Philosophy:

I have been playing since the late '80s. I have been doing the teching since 1996 when I started playing full time. In my early years of the sport, I used to have other "airsmiths" do my teching and perform the custom work on my gear. The problem with that was I was on their clock and it cost a lot of money for a half ass job with no warranty. Most of the time, my marker was never returned and my deposit was lost. What I aim to do in my service is be that one honest airsmith and not screw over people. In other words, if I agree to a project, I am "married" to it. My word is my bond.

But seriously, I am just a humble airsmith. I am in no way saying that I am better, the best or what ever. I am just performing a "selfless" service for the MBoB and its affiliates. I have A LOT of experience, and I have been doing this mostly out of request from Tim and Yeti and the other elders in the MBoB. I build equipment for many different reasons:

Out-Gunned and Abused - I build equipment for the underdogs in paintball. If you find yourself out gunned and picked on by other players on the paintball field, then you might want one of my markers or have me build something special for you. In this case, as some of my customers have described, I am your "Hattori Hanzo" of paintball weaponry. Be warned though, these special markers pack a special punch and aren't for the light hearted. The "special" marker will give you an uncanny edge unlike any other marker on the field. You would only want to use these markers against paintball bullies or 900 angry German team players.

Commemorative Pieces - Have a special honor that you want to bestow on a model player, or a special General, I can make something special. Most of the pieces I have made in the past were custom designed and hand-made special for the recipient. - LINK

Custom Restoration - Have an old marker that you want restored to its glory days, I can do it.

Basic Repair and Maintenance - Tippmanns, Kingman Markers (& clones), Smart Parts, Crosman and Sheridan, AGD, Electronics etc.

Hot Work -

*Note - These are just dramatic hot work pics. The first is a Tiberius Firing Bolt. I was heating the set screw that holds the firing pin in place and the Loctite Tiberius uses ignited. It made a pretty candle for a few seconds. The second is a side fed PGP body that I was working on. When I work with soldering brass, I pack the tubing with wads of paper towels and soak the tubing in water. This prevents the solder from dripping/running inside the tubing and screwing things up.

Need help, advice or are just curious about the feasibility of a custom mod, ask away.
