    SOLD Another sterling silver 10440 host

    Re: FS: Another sterling silver 10440 host These have been weighing in 80-85 grams or so of sterling. I'll snag a weight on this tomorrow once I get in to work and post it. I'm curious now too, as I deepened the focusing ring on this one. Got a bite on this one already so it might be sold.

    SOLD Another sterling silver 10440 host

    Ok, I've got another of my silver hosts finished and ready to sell Price is $135 shipped in the USA. (price has gone up slightly as silver has gone up as well, thus increasing my costs a little) To complete the build you will need to add your own laser module, and of course a protected 10440...

    Halo Style 2 stage COILGUN

    I've seen most people set up a two stage coilgun with a higher powered first coil in the initial coil, and a secondary coil with half that power. This guy here pa-iv - futureexperimentalsystems lists an injector coil, and primary accelerator. I noticed his accelerator coil is much higher...

    Halo Style 2 stage COILGUN

    I would be interested in seeing the part list for the light gate trigger. I've been trying to work out how to pull that off. Still working out the specs on mine. The cap for the primary coil i have will be a little too much. it's 450V 1800uf. so 180 joules or so I think. Though I can tone...

    Halo Style 2 stage COILGUN

    very nice. what kind of caps you put in that thing? Also curious, did you use photoflash chargers in parallel or build a dc to dc boost converter? Been considering making a coilgun for a while, but this is inspiring me to give it much more consideration. Sadly even a 1 stage would strain my...

    HotY2010: Semi-finals poll part 2!!

    A series of burrs. a 3mm round burr, a 2.6mm inverted cone burr, a 1.2mm krause burr for the channels. For lost wax casting you get a plastic or wax piece that you invest in a silicone heavy plaster type in a steel flask. you then burn out the plastic and or wax and centrifuge the silver into...

    HotY2010: Semi-finals poll part 2!!

    Rather then fabricate completely, I cast the hosts. Any lathe work had to be done prior to making a mold. It has completely different challenges from lathing. Among them is the issue of things aren't quite as perfectly round, and there is a reduction in size about 3% so you have to plan for...

    Host of the year for 2010

    Sorry to barge in and answer this even though it was directed at Flaminpyro. :D I figured I would correct a couple common misconceptions. You are thinking of cubic zirconia. zirconium is a pure element, it's a metal, close in color to titanium, not commonly used by itself, more commonly used...

    Host of the year for 2010

    I definatly would like to enter my 10440 hosts. Sorry for the tardy response. (been on the busy side.) Is there a limit of 1 host per person, or could I enter my steampunk lasergun host too? :eg: (If so, I would like to add an updated picture tomarrow, as I've tweaked the finish on it...

    Pink Laser 500mW

    curious. how was he pwned? Still no black lasers on the horizon.. (literally or figuratively) Remember, Laser is an acronym. the L still stands for light last I checked... So even a particle stream of some matter that absorbed photons, would still not be a laser. *shrug* the concept...

    Blue lasers can cause cancer?

    *shrug* simply making it through medical school is not proof of intelligence sadly enough. I've myself had a doctor that I seriously wondered if the only thing he got on his I.Q. tests, was drool. (long story there) However, a more logical assumption is this: Every day it seems like more...

    sterling silver 10440 host (Definately sold now)

    If you would like two shipped together, yes you can save a few dollars that way. I will get back to you on the price for two shipped. In the cost of shipping I figure in insurance, and I don't off the top of my head remember how much that costs. Just keep in mind there will be a slightly...

    sterling silver 10440 host (Definately sold now)

    Yep. the first potential buyer became non responsive. Tysonc1979 was second in line :D Tikilaser, I will let you know when the next one is ready. Probably sometime next week I would expect.

    sterling silver 10440 host (Definately sold now)

    Re: sterling silver 10440 host (probably sold now) Looks that way. I will be making more though so watch for the next one to be listed.

    sterling silver 10440 host (Definately sold now)

    Re: FS: sterling silver 10440 host to answer both of these questions related to tarnishing. Yes this silver will tarnish. Tarnish on silver is slow though, as it's actually not oxidation. Silver tarnish is silver sulfide not silver oxide. The difference is there's much less sulfur...

    sterling silver 10440 host (Definately sold now)

    Re: FS: sterling silver 10440 host yes I most certainly will be making more. Probably not too long before the next one is done. Probably 2 weeks or so.

    sterling silver 10440 host (Definately sold now)

    Re: FS: sterling silver 10440 host I think he was giving advice to me to not let custom requests bury me. :D Good advice I think. I am definitely open to custom requests here at first. Although I suspect I will have to limit them at some point. At any rate. I seem to have a serious inquiry...

    sterling silver 10440 host (Definately sold now)

    Re: FS: sterling silver 10440 host Hmm I don't know much about drivers. I'm not aware of what you mean by "2 step" I've heard though it's bad to use two different capacity batteries together. But then, electronics is not my specialty. As for extra stones, Possible, though I would simply...

    What colour at Class I will let me see the whole beam?

    Even a red laser you can buy at a grocery store checkout line can be dangerous if you have preexisting eye conditions. There is no such thing as a "perfectly safe" laser. a 1 mW laser can still harm the retina of someone with retinopathy. (most common cause of which is diabetes) There are...
