Alright, Mr. Robatto is very readily nearing his 250 sonic mark and I doubt I'll have enough money in time to get the 250th slot, so I thought hey, why not build my own from scratch? Only I'm poor... So this'll take a while, maybe.
I've already compiled an embarrassing amount of pictures of sonics in various stages of complete ion and put together this exploded view and parts list.
There's some stuff I don't have on my parts list because I either already have the materials (leather, foam, wiring, etc.) or I simply don't know how I am going to do a certain component (mainly the white resin handle; although, getting the tip to the aluminum slider right seems like it'll be tricky too).
Shoutout to SanHolo80 who has already been a tremendous help with clearing up some questions about the sliding mechanism and various measurements. Thank you for your help.
This project is gonna take a long time. Mainly because I'm in college so funds are at an all time low, but also because there's bound to be lots of failures and cursing and rage-quitting. I expect this project to end probably sometime in March. I know if I really really wanted to, I could probably get it done by February, but im on a budget and have limited resources. I'm probably going to have to use the metal shop at my college for most stuff in fact.
Anyways, I'm about to make a run to the hardware store to see if I can get the main brass pipe and the components for the sliding mechanism for under twenty dollars. If you stick with me for these next couple of months I'm sure it will be lots of fun for all of us.
