Your right as usualFrom my experiences with lswl he only makes one for himself just to have. Nothing wrong with that.

I'm glad everyone kissed and made up some. The new series sonic itself is a minefield which I sure as hell won't go into...again, and all the various forms of recasting are always an easy trigger to segregate the membership here into Hetfields and McCoys but the big thing that was touched on here is what we at the RPF always need to keep in mind: is a member wanting this info to make one for themselves only, for a short run for themselves and a few others or for mass sale and distribution.
From my experiences with lswl he only makes one for himself just to have. Nothing wrong with that. If I had some details on the new sonic I'd help but my personal fandom with the prop is more geared towards when my inner child was my outer child because I was a child and that would be the 1970's and 1980's.
OK, I'm done making it all about me, let's get back to everyone else now.
Where were you when we were having the communication meltdown? lol
I think that's exactly where the problem was, and I simply failed to see it because I knew lswl well enough to gauge his intent. In retrospect, perhaps I should have spent more time explaining, and less time admonishing. My bad. :$

I was recently given a CT Eccelston-era Sonic Screwdriver by a prop collector who had one going spare and I might be able to help the OP with measurements and photographs. I also know the supplier of the crackle paint that was used.
I would like to remind everyone that the original Sonic Screwdriver was built by Aztec for BBC Wales. The CT range are unlicensed copies of the original props, albeit excellent copies with an excellent custom-made sound-chip in them. If one criticises the OP for asking for measurements, then one should also criticise CT who took measurements from the prop and then made unlicensed replicas without a BBC Worldwide license!
(Money from merchandise licensing and sales, as well as overseas sales of BBC programmng, is put back into the BBC budget in order to help fund the production of TV and radio programmes.)
Don't get me wrong; I have unlicensed Sonic Screwdrivers myself (4th, 7th/8th, and 9th). I am just saying the OP is doing nothing wrong by asking for measurements, when one remembers the CT range and RussReplicas were and are entirely unlicensed and not products authorised by BBC Worldwide! To criticse the OP and not CT is akin to one bootlegger criticising another bootlegger!
This should give you some idea. It's CT's uber accurate model so it's akin to getting the measurements directly from the actual prop. Sorry my calipers weren't long enough to take the open dims. They're only usually used for measuring snake fangs, and quite frankly if I need bigger calipers than this to measure a snakes fangs, I'm gonna change my job.
