Me? ya XD I am, but it's not that hard to run a lathe, or a milling machine : )

I don't know, he is likely busy. Be patient, a lot of us do this stuff when ever we get time.
Handle Material:
www.delviesplastics.com
1125_Colored_Cast_Rod_U1.125" (1-1/8") Dia. Colored Acrylic Rod Unpolished 1 $44.00 $44.00
Green Plastic:
We used pen green blank material. They are a bit hit and miss. The color and the swirl pattern vary a lot so you may want to get a few and pick the one that looks the best once machined (Make sure to take small cuts and turn it slow, it sort of shatters otherwise).

There is no steel, the aluminum and copper are listed above. Here is what I used for plastics.

sweet! thanks, I'll probably use steel,brass,white plastic. And for the green stuff, i'll find some sort of clear green glass, or swirly green plastic and cut that, I'm not going to go all-out,
I just want to focus on getting this machined, so then I can put the electronics together. I found 'real-working sonic screwdriver' on Instructables.com, and i'm going to make that, and add other arduino projects to it, like bluetooth, wifi, and heating ( for lighting candles and such ) capabilities.
Cheers!

P.S. thanks for the reply, i'm sorry, but i'm kinda getting impatient : /

Shinji, look closely at the part that makes up the top of the copper cage ( the non-moving half ) , you'll see two little wear marks where the '''claws'' have slid against it, you see? that's where the claws slide against, closing them against the green 'crystal' at a 45 degree angle. : )
cheers!

P.S. nice to see current interest in a forum like this ; )

I would kill for one of those!! You sir, have done a fantastic job recreating Matt's sonic screwdriver. I'm sad you're not going to do a run of this. I would throw money at it so fast.
Nick Robotto just announced yesterday that he will be selling sonics.
