Can you pull a shoulder? JIM HONECK invented this

[cayman shen]

Man, that was ingenuity. The ways people came up with to make things...I know it's still happening, but you just don't see it as much, it seems like.

All my Vader ROTJ sabers had to be shoulder-less...I tried to make one and it just never worked right. Then again, the final sabers never looked all that not either, so what's one little detail? :lol

 

[Mercury]

Yeah, fast approaching, apparently.

Great pics, Dave! Mercury, REALLY good to see you around again, man!

Take care, all....

Good to be back David, it's been a few years hasn't it? Life, as you well know, has a way of sidetracking us at times.

I've still got mine! Almost mint in box. Only used once. :lol Very cool little piece. Still works!

Whatever happened to Honeck, anyway? Is he still around?

 

[Dann]

Wow I remember these also, never got one, though.

 

[Sumatra]

Always wanted one myself. We should look into getting some more made.

 

[Boba Frett]

I haven't used it in a while, but I still have mine

 

[Boba Debt]

Who remembers the screen used V-Block prank

 

[Sporak]

I have access to the one I had...but I sold it to another member here.

 

[Sumatra]

Anyone with a puller interested in helping me? I'm getting a couple custom graflex tubes made and I'm going to need to get the shoulders pulled.

PM me if you can help.

 

[Sumatra]

Anyone? What's the point of having it if you aren't using it.

 

[Sumatra]

Nobody it willing to help?

Hello

I still have a few of these. I would like to donate them to the board to help with the maintenance of the board. I will be talking with the RPF Staff to see if they are interested and how they will handle so I will post details when I know them.

Corranhornjje is right Quartz was the driving force behind making the saber more than just a sink tube. He created and offered free to all a very accurate pattern for cutting the shell. He also cast many pieces offering them to us who had never had a chance to handle a real Graflex. But I did all the prototyping and designing of this puller. Quartz was a huge help to me and even let me finger print one of his personal real Graflexs. There is no way I could have ever done it without him. He will forever be the king of the “hardware” Graflex
