Holy crap, First pass on the next stage and it's 54 minutes long. going to go through it again with a cutin' knife and maybe split it in two or even 3 videos. It might break up nicely to setup, milling and lathe work.
I was thinking about boring a hole through the all thread that holds the primary section together. This would be so, if someone wished they would be able to run wires through it for a blade and LEDs that could be powered by something in the handle.
I know how that is, I seem to often be out in the shop until 1am and still have to get up at 530 to head into work. Somehow I am finding time to get my kid to Karate class, cut videos and eat.
I've been in kind of a hurry as I'm going in for minor surgery on Tuesday and will be laid up for a week or two after. I do still have a lot of video that I need to put together so I'm hoping I'll be able to do that even while recovering.

We both are my friend. This is actually all new to me as well.
I was thinking of putting together a someone tongue-in-cheek home DIY step by step, that includes searching Craig's list to find and purchase a lathe and milling machine. Something I really only started back in January of this year.
Been working on a jig to help cut the LED section of the side gribblie. It's been a pain in my but now for a while but I think I finally have a solution. More to come soon.
OK, this ended up being way more difficult than it looked. At least to get a consistent and repeatable set of triangles. I wont have a great build video on the jig that I made it ended up being so much trial and error that the video would have maxed out Youtubes 10hr limit and I would have still had to cut it way down. Instead I'll post a small video and review of how I made it.
May be a little while though I haven't shot any footage for it yet. These two pictures are all the media I've made in the last 3 days.
