First attempt at building a proton pack.
i have never built anything out of wood before nor have i ever used half of the tools i’m having to use.
this is being built mostly out of scrap wood thats laying around the garage.
i have not spent a single penny on any parts yet
and lastly..i hope i get this image inserting thing right.
I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone scratchbuild the pneumatic fittings out of wood. Nice work so far!
This is looking really good; it’s literally a scratch-build!
i’d stain that thing and call it a day.
As far as your ion arm cap goes, i cant recall the thread off hand, but you can make a pretty decent replica with a piece of wood and wrapping it with a soda can.
what i did with my Ion arm was i used 1/2 mdf, and based it off of stefans plans. for the rods that come off i used 1/4" word dowel rod and just cut it to size. It made a pretty nice ion arm if you check out my build thread. just remember if you go with wood to use a sealer on the wood before you prime it, it gets rid of alot of the wood grain that may show through and also keeps the wood from soaking up all that paint.
