Its not a laser pointer but a (nearly) zero parallax red dot sight. It projects a red dot onto a curved piece of glass and the dot stays on target regardless of your heads position. Absolutely brilliant on bows. 14 Quote
Lord Gruntfuttock Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 That is a little flasher than the ones we used to make as kids out of broom and baler twine... As an aside, the guys at work cleared an old site a while ago and the broom had grown to trees. I saved a chunk of stump around 100mm thick to see what it looked like turned on the lathe. Of course it sat for years, dried and split before I did anything with it, but looked like it had an interesting pattern... 4 Quote
flyingbrick Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 Mine isn't that flash compared to others out there., I think mine was reduced to around 900$ from $1200 but guys spend many times that amount. Like everything else though- My skills cannot match its abilities so buying better is no help. I just like that i can practice at home in the city. Cant do that with guns 2 Quote
Popular Post Mof Posted November 14, 2017 Popular Post Posted November 14, 2017 @Cazza Needed a bike carrier, and I'm cheap, so I made one. This is the upright. I cut a short length off the top end (because the tube wouldn't fit through the lathe chuck) and machinedout the inside so another piece of tube would fit down it. Then welded it back on Ground back, lovely Started on the removable crossbar/sticky out bars top bit Finished. I tweaked up the angle of the bars since then. The tube pointing at where the bikes go is so it can be "folded" up Smooth So originally I was attaching it to the car into the hitch reciever. This is the part at the base of the upright that goes into the receiver. Aaand I didn't get any pics of it on the car in this guise, so use your imagination. I did have to make an adaptor to fit the samurai, as when I made the bumper/towbar I guessed what size the hitches were, and was a size too small. Handy though because now it cleared the spare tyre. Then I bought the 'Cruiser. It had a standard tongue towbar. Made a part to fit the tow ball. This tube is actually the end of a Terrano rear upper trailing arm with the bush removed. One of the nuts I welded on is in where the arm was welded on And I had to dog-leg it to clear the tyre. Other than the foam and plastic end caps from para rubber, the rest is just scrap steel from under the bench and cost me nothing /Lingor out 12 1 Quote
Cazza Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 that's brilliant! Will show to Duddley and tell him to get his weld on! 1 Quote

flyingbrick Posted November 23, 2017 Posted November 23, 2017 I dont think anything here is going to top that costume! Adding fake patina/wear/age would work well with the slightly imperfect surface of the cardboard!!! 1 Quote
