I am a walking talking bundle of contradictions.

My eyes can spy a prop almost immediately, yet, ask me to find my keys in the kitchen and I’m suddenly a blind man.

So I've been tinkering a bit and keep switching from making a custom to going down ANH corridor.
Its amazing what you can find or develop to fit in a pile of junk in the tool shed (Cellar)

My question is..on the graflex where the contact holes are..

What have people used to replicate the brass nut/contacts.
I've found small nuts and was thinking of using a cut down dome headed nail, I used to have a jar of very small screws but can't seem to find them..
You used to be able to source these type items but since most electrical shops have closed its so much harder.

I do miss rummaging through bins of nuts n bolts..

I used cut down brass shoulder hooks. Not exactly right, but okay.

Nice!
I was talking to an electrical bod today here in the UK and he said there are some very similar screws in old triang/mechano 00 gauge train signals..

Thats what I think or at this point thought it was but I'm not sure

Good lord this inner bushing took like 4-5 hours to hand fit in the blade…

But it was worth it

 

[chubsANDdoggers]

It’s not technically on my workbench but it is presently being printed..

 

[thd9791]

gosh thats a good looking blaster!

I filled the blades with expanding foam to mimic the filled antennas of the 70s and 80s. They're still on my workbench because I don't know anything clamp downwards of the ESB Luke... and I still need reflective material for both

 

[Mottrex]

Still not sure where I am going with this yet but made a quick set of bunny ears..

Might jettison it as Chrome pipe is awful to drill. I'm still waiting for a chunk of 40mm Aluminium which cuts like butter in comparison.

But I do enjoy the sweeping curve so might carry on with it.
Luckily my Dental burrs are up for the job!
