I can't believe what I'm seeing here.... so cool!

He mainly uses poplar for his builds. As for tools, I know he uses a very small, very fine chisel for the detail work (he shows/explains his tools of choice in one of his vids, actually). Can't remember the rest, lol.

My main tools are the scroll saw and table top sander. Along with the table saw, Another saw that I'm for some reason drawing a blank, Drill press, and a razor knife. Along with what SPARTAN II posted.

I mainly use poplar in all sizes from LOWE's.

P.S.: A little off-topic, but... did you manage to stop by the hardware store yet regarding PVC tubing?

Yes and they do have the 3" pvc.

Word to note about when this piece actually gets cast - would you plan to cast the scope in halves so people can add their own technology to it, or will it be a solid piece that people would have to dremmel themselves?

I was thinking about doing it in both styles? I think!

Wow that is really over the top, in a great way. Who's idea was it for the baby monitor? I must have missed a few areas of the topic. Awesome stuff.

 

[LeeKegan]

Man if the funds were there i just saw a wireless baby monitor thats a camera and a display at target. The cam is about the same size as a smallish webcam and the monitor is a small handheld unit bout like a old walkman radio. You could gut the display for the important parts and mount it in a helmet, talk about true to game you could link your helmet with your weapon optics.

Cheers!

Hope this answers the question Smick6. Privateer sugested a baby camera and here we are now.

So thanks Privateer!

 

[Enrisan]

wow, that scope is so awesome!

 

[mkshane81]

Absolutely EPIC!!

 

[Privateer]

LOL I think thats the one I was looking at also when I made that post. This is even more epic than ever.

Just got to see the latest update/vid, and man that night vision looks awesome! I'm definately leaning toward doing the same for my own SR

Personally, I'd go with hollow-cast (who wouldn't want to wire this bad boy? lol), but it probably would be a good idea to have both options.

Glad to hear you were able to find some 3" PVC, btw. That'll help a great deal.

Hey Lee love what your doing with that baby monitor

*(Hey, i was wondering if you can, describe, if not already, how you are putting the scope together with the baby monitor, I seem interested in following from your ideas and Spartan's II's ideas aswell, , i really can't help it, Tttttttthhhhaaaannnks)

Well, from what I can gather from his WiP scope so far, the obvious first step is to remove the original casing for the baby monitor, lol J/k

If it were me doing it (and hopefully it will be sometime soon, lol) I'd fabricate some sort of internal structure/frame to hold the screen in place so that it doesn't shift around.

Lee could very well be doing the same thing with some of his poplar wood. It would be easy enough to do.

Another option would be to simply glue it in place, but then you run into the possibility of the glue losing it's adhesiveness over time, so you would have to open up the scope (that's the benefit of having a two-part casting) to re-secure it again and again.

Someone had suggested maybe wiring it through the magazine, but given the working features he'll have in there for the fake bullets (like he did for his M6G, BR and Ithica's AR) that wouldn't really work.

If I'm not mistaken, Lee plans on wiring the power supply for the scope through the upper front receiver. No doubt he'll be doing something to secure all the different components (screen, circuit boards, batteries) in place so they don't move around inside.

Wouldn't want to have a rattling SR when on parade duty

I guess great minds think alike, huh buddy? :lol:

When I get home after production's wrapped up tonight, I'll check out those updates *curses stupid at-work server restrictions*

uh duh...*brains melting*. I don't know what to say...teach me, how. I love this thread so much that i have it bookmarked on browser and check it at least 20 times a day. I gotta go get some poplar, that stuff is so soft and smooth.

Though I haven't used it myself for any of my own projects, from what I understand (both from Lee and others) it's definately one of the easier soft woods to use for this kind of work. Trying to use something like MDF board would be a real pain in the @$$, lol.

And what, you only check this thread twenty times a day? Shame on you. I check this thread, well... a lot more than that (lost count)
