Exploring the Vibro Axe Options

I think casting the bubbler would be a bad idea.

If it was cast hollow it would be very fragile and if you made it solid it would be very hard to cast correctly and keep it accurate.

I disagree. The bubble on the original prop is a casting.
All that needs to be done is line the inside with styrene then cast it solid with a 1" hole down the center.

I highly doubt you'll get 20 people interested in a machined one.
 
How did they do the slots?

On the real prop the slots are filled from the inside. It's a solid cast.
 
As a note, I have a real, 100% unmodified Melnor Soft-Flo Soaker up for auction right now.
