In reply to Laura Rich. I might have been able to find something *similar*, but that's usually not good enough for me. Besides, I like to make the stuff myself. ;) I would've only used a found item if it was the exact same item that was used for the original prop. Since the tip of the original probe was made from turned acrylic, I wanted to get as close as possible since I have no means to turn acrylic. My version will also help with reproducability. Is that even a word? ;)

This is pretty cool. I work with wood and leather and am very impressed. Makes me want to get a laythe so I can do something similar! I wonder if you could have found a tip or cap of a clear or blue acrylic pen that would have worked for the business end?

Superb!!!!! A lot of work went into this and it paid off. I love the technique of tape and paint to create those grooves. Very ingenious!

Hi there,
GREAT WORK!
I think the parts look really good, so smooth and all. Nice job with the sanding! I’m really looking forward to seeing this thing painted and put together with the rest of the probe.
Well done and PLEASE: don’t take another year to continue working on this project.
