Thanks you guys for the compliments. The hardest thing about this prop was tryig to piece together what I thought the prop masters used to make this thing. I still need to find the twisted brass ring to go aroung the center piece, but I am happy with the way it turned out. The total cost was $30 for all the materials and I have plenty left to make the other one.
I guess the bonus with old threads being brought back up (have seen a few these past few days) is that new users (including myself...don't have that many posts yet lol) are using the search function
I will remove the "new member trying to increase post count" post, and then leave all of the other "comment" posts. That way, in a few years a new member can bump this thread asking what happened, and why the last few posts don't make any sense. :lol
...post has been removed, now let's see how it reads. :wacko
EDIT: Success!
EDIT AGAIN: Ah man, apollo's first post quoted the new post...
EDIT EDIT AGAIN: Took care of that.
EDIT EDIT EDIT AGAIN: Man, now apollo's post doesn't make any sense.
EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT AGAIN: That should do it... apollo's post makes sense again.
