Description Chromed brass, blue LED, copper wire and a cracked quartz
bead which I got in a trade with ~Senrigan-Taki

I may go for something different, probably use some fiber optics (I know this one is all crooked )

I should start mentioning this, about 70% recycled material.

Etsy is not the place for LEDs, look around on Ebay, small ones like this you can
get ridiculously cheap with resistors included from China. You know how to solder right?

No problem, the thing about LEDs that makes them hard to use in anything small and wearable is that there needs to be a concealed switch and battery in this pendant the 2 wires you see coming out are going to the power supply

Logan-Pearce In reply to KubusRubus [2010-04-18 19:24:30 +0000 UTC]

Oh we get faves and a decent amount. I'm just saying that da isn't really the best place to get fans for knives, ya know? You're right, they don't really matter that much. No, I've never made wood carving knives. I might look into that though.

but actually that isn't the biggest problem with this piece, I still haven't figured out a good way to power it and make the battery pack look semi-decent/wearable...

lonlyXcupcake13 In reply to KubusRubus [2010-04-18 13:34:38 +0000 UTC]

i like it the way it is now.. just needs to be a lil straighter and maybe have the bead/gem/thinger a lil bigger so it doesn't seem like it being taken over by the battery compartment..

Works well with the crackled glass. It's kind of gandalf-y.

KubusRubus In reply to magpiesmiscellany [2010-04-17 01:32:01 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so is it glass or is it quartz? She told me it was sealed quartz but it looks like glass to me... (not that I really care, I just like to accurately list materials, oh and I haven't a slightest clue what "gandalf-y" means though I think you are talking about a character in one of these fantasy books/movies that have been popular lately)

Yeah, the wizard in the book, then movie trilogy lord of the rings. I used to make wizards out of sculpy then fry marbles to give them 'crystal' balls.

And I think it's crackled glass. Looks like fried marbles to me

Oh and if you want a screwdriver you need to find me a photo, I couldn't find anything decent enough to work from but I like the idea

Yeah, it was way too easy to drill out to be quartz, though who knows, maybe after they crackle it it gets softer

I couldn't find any good shots, you'd think there'd be enough geeks getting screenshots, but no luck yet.

How did you drill it out?

I think he does, haven't seen it in ages. I guess part of the thing is that I don't really think in terms of using tools since it's not habit as such.

Like at class I've saw and soldering capabilities, but I'm not used to it, so have trouble planning projects involving them.
