I'll just like to reiterate what everyone else has already said...great work! And great documentation too. I love the progress pics.
I just wonder . . . whilest working on these projects do you carry a hardhat with a webcam on ... so that when you blink your eyes you take an instant work in progress picture? Then add a quick verbal comment, so as to remember what that picture stands for when writing these elaborate tutorials :lol

Seriously, when I'm working on something I'm covered in dirt, glue, chemicals, metal filings, sweat, and not even thinking about a camera. Very nice job documenting everything. I think the next thing we'll see from you is a time-lapse video with cuts to real time audio for explanations.

Great step by step as everybody mentioned before [emoji6]
I would've never thought of something like the paperclip to give the weld some more hold.
Don't even know why it worked that way. Any guess or explanation?
And I would've never had the guts to cut this grove in the grenade [emoji106]
The more I look at the paper clip photos, the more I'm reminded of rebar used in the construction industry. I think the JB weld acted as concrete and the paper clip acted as the reinforcing rebar.
Again, well done.
Hey @mugatu ! I was wondering...how's your JB Weld repair holding up?
And too, did you ever try bluing your grenade, and if so, how'd the JB Weld take to being blued?

I was just going to say you'd have to ask Panaflex. That super dark and rich patina came naturally. I have not had any dealings with blueing before.Hey @mugatu ! I was wondering...how's your JB Weld repair holding up?

Thanks for the info, Scott!I've blued JBweld before and it works pretty well. Gets very close
Thanks for answering, man. And I'm glad the repair work is still holding strong. That grenade looks great in your build, my friend.I'm the lucky guy Mugatu sold that grenade to and I have to say it's still holding up very well. I've taken the saber apart and put it back together many times and it hasn't given a centimeter or crumbled a bit. The clamp bites down on the JB weld like it was the original steel.
A rock solid job and a classic repair thread.
Alberto, no problem, and I meant it. Man, you and I go all the way back to the beginning of my collecting days!Hey Mugatu, How could have I misseed this thread!!!:facepalm
Just wanted to say You're welcome!!
Thank You for the kind words on the first message!
Regards,
Alberto

Alberto, I believe I am making some slight progress on a new contact for boosters. I will keep you (and a few others) posted
