DIY contest. Beam shots in the op

Thanks Steve, if I could just whip something up I’m not sure if I would bother. Kinda bassackwards, huh?

Ervin I feel your pain. Having only part of an idea is like putting a puzzle together and finding there were pieces missing from the box(or pieces from another puzzle mixed in). I hope you sort it out as I’m enjoying watching the other puzzles come together.

Last year I made a sketch of an idea, maybe I should post a similar one in the op for everyone to follow. It must be difficult to follow my puzzle without having a clue how it supposed to work. I spend a fair amount of time staring at those pictures myself trying to figure out what to do next.

Short bump.

Bump on the head.

Are you human?

He’s a Duck! For crying out loud! :stuck_out_tongue:

Nice Scott, patience is certainly a worth virtue to have and you do it justice with your builds. I’m ok with patience, it’s the creativity part that mystifies me…

The duck is just a front. I reckon he could be an uncle Martin offspring.

Hope I don’t run out of bumps.

You learn something new everyday. Non life form things worry about running out of bumps. Interesting. If your ever in Aus come and play in my shed. You may never get out but you don't know that.

I am definitely a life form. Artificial intelligence wouldn’t be programmed this badly. Do you have any spare bumps in your shed?

Bump!

(feel like it anyway, after frying all 3 of my Knucklehead drivers)

Whoa. I haven't visited this thread in awhile. Dude, seriously fine craftsmanship. Love how you repurpose as much as possible.

Looking forward to this build too. :slight_smile:

That’s on Q!. Love the work you have done. Sorta has a James Bond look!! One of my favorite “Grails”!!! Keep flooding us with pics. I enjoyed looking throw each one.

I don’t get it… I mean…well, I just don’t get it.

I’ve been watching the mail and still haven’t got it. When will I get it?

:smiley:

Shhh! You weren’t supposed to get it until it was done.

When it’s done, even Steve will get it! :stuck_out_tongue:

0:)

Question, how does the second cell come out? It looks as though one comes out the head, will the tail with springs come off to change cells? (the part I wasn’t getting)

I honestly dont know what I'm doing with my own. Got drivers and stuff. I know I think I will need two 39mm internal circlips. Where they go is in a hole but where? And then the other stuff has to go in somewhere and a switch and lots of wires. I think I'm doomed unless one of you guys can come around and help.

I can melt some solder in a tin cup and splash it in that hole once you get the wires and stuff crammed in, should hold it all together. Whatcha think? I know we wouldn’t compete with the Duck for creativity, but we might have a pretty nice conglomerate of parts anyway.

I think I’m gonna scrap my big bullet idea, not competitive at all. And grinding steel scares me.

The cells parallel park. 1st one goes in and slides over under the switch pad bottom up and the second goes in next to it tail first w/pos up against the driver.
