Tang is that beauty host made from red copper?

Schmackitup, I know that you're just kidding, but I agree, this monster would look even more stunning if it were gold plated.
Do any of you guys remember Minimoto Kobayashi's 24K gold plated laser project, it was a real head turner, like all of his builds!

I remember that laser. It isn't very complicated electroplating something in gold, though the end result is very pleasing. I have thought about doing this with a laser host in the past. Just never got around to it.

I could have it plated gold and tell people it's 3 pounds of pure gold!!!

Hmmm...To THAT claim...I would have replied …" You are Full of 3 Pounds of _ _ _ _ ".....but....Gold plating would look NICE.. Minimoto did that AU plating deal....seem to remember it was about $ 200.....But...AU plating is the ultimate and reasonable cost finish....But...I still like CU !!!! CDB
