Thanks,

I haven't been working on this for a while due to medical problems, and now I am moving...(due to medical problems)

I will have a small shop in my new place with my lathe and mills set up full-time so I will be back at it soon.

Any upcoming news on this Eddy? I've greatly enjoyed this diary so far...

[eddyc]

I'm still packing for my move on August 29th...

Once I'm in the new place I will set up the new shop and get back to work on this project.

With all of the new photos on line of the prop I'm going to be able to make mine even closer to the original prop.

stay tuned,

[drew30]

good luck on the move. can't wait to see more of this. it looks fantastic sofar.

Now that my health is on an upswing I thought I would get back to this old project.

I've been doing a parts study and think I've got most of them down now.



I've taken my old version and started to modify the sections to bring them up to date.

The tail and handle have not changed, but the next section with the leather grip has a lot more parts than I originally made.

Now the leather is wrapped around a plastic core cut to shape and held into place on a pipe with two washers.

I cut the plastic out on my lathe,


Then cut the leather to fit...
 



The not so fun part is sewing the leather while poking your fingers several times...



It does look good beside the other pieces, worth the pain.



Enough for now, off to work on the Atom Stabiliser.

Your build looks great so far 

I know how much work this one is.  But after seeing how far you got with the Atom stablizer in such a short time, I have no doubt you'll knock this one out of the park.

Thanks, Since my health has improved and I got the Mini-Mill, I'm getting a lot more done and faster. Now all I have to do is finish the first 5 projects before I start anymore.

[bluebox303]

Wow! can't wait to see more! 

[eddyc]

My work on this and other projects continues in my secret underground laboratory.

Psst, anyone know where the secret underground lab is? I must have a look at this beautiful prop!

[steve757]

Thank you Eddy for all the detailed pictures and explainations.  I learned so much from studying them my first project came off better than I had hoped.  I am REALLY motivated to save up for a 3D printer and move this hobby to a new level.

Psst, anyone know where the secret underground lab is?

I do... but I must warn you... he has a very tall, overly clumsy older sister named Dee-Dee guarding all entrances!

And the locks are all voice coded with a secret password. So if you do get past Dee-Dee, make sure your mind isn't "stuck" so the only thing you can say is "omelette du fromage" or the timer will run out and the lab will self-destruct!
