If you don't own the handle he borrowed, then he doesn't owe you anything

Is this a dead project?

It's been 4 days since the update on the lack of updates from the previous 29 days prior to the latest heretofore update.

PoDunkMoFo · « **Reply #83 on:** August 22, 2006, 06:46:18 pm »

The update on the lack of updates sadly is dead

SirPeale · « **Reply #84 on:** August 22, 2006, 07:02:12 pm »

But is the shipping free? And does it work?

update on the update on the lack of updates and an Update on the update on the noise code........ It's damned noisy....... but not quite as loud as the squeeky sound of an impatient update request.

I might have known you bunch of clowns would hijack this at some point.... Damn!! that's what makes this forum so great after all.

Did you read up more than 1 post? I think I see Fozzy coming....

Outrun · « **Reply #93 on:** September 08, 2006, 01:28:44 pm »

I think we all ought to club up together & send Fozzy a bribe/incentive to getting these out soon

Zeppo · « **Reply #94 on:** October 23, 2006, 03:53:30 pm »

I got $5 to add to the bribe money.

Fozzy The Bear · « **Reply #95 on:** October 23, 2006, 05:20:07 pm »

OK Guys..... It's been a while..... I know you want them but I can't give you much of an update right now.

I'll try and knock out "part two" of the tutorial in the next few weeks. I've not been slacking on these, just busy with other things.

SO! Here's the update as it stands.... We have several sets of molds all completed and ready to rock. Brad has had his original stick returned and again many many thanks to him for the loan item.

I'm happy that we have molds that will produce good casts, but as of yet I'm waiting for the Vacuum Chamber to become free for use... It's busy casting lots of other work related stuff at the moment. I do need to use the Vacuum Chamber, because as it stands right now, the test casts I've been doing are still trapping some air bubbles and we need to try and eliminate, or at the least significantly reduce those.

I'm still not going to post a date, when these will be available off the shelf.... But as soon as I have a further update I will let you know.

Best Regards,
Julian (Fozzy The Bear)

FunWithFire · « **Reply #100 on:** October 25, 2006, 08:14:19 pm »

And I want to construct a cabinet using ONLY the tron sticks. I figure I would need about a hundred sets.

Work related? What kind of crap excuse is that? Tell your supervisor these are TRON sticks! ! !

More than two months since I've been able to get anywhere near the Vacuum Chamber to do any more tests I'm sorry to say....

So effectively still no updates.... January might be a bit more positive as things are a bit slower on the commercial front. Either that, or I'll have to stop building my current arcade machine and build my own Vacuum Chamber

Makes sense. Good luck getting in there after the 1st of the year. I won't need any Tron sticks before then. Just trying to keep the subject simmering anyway. Gonna want to play Tron on my next cabinet for sure. I kept trying & trying to hold onto the Tron concept for my first build, but gave up on it awhile ago. I will have a Tron stick on cab #2...

Later man!

Hey, D_K, I'm surprised no one (or you) has tried to build something like this:

Is "FAILURE" or a loss of "FIRE IN THE BELLY" over a stalled project too much of a humbling admission for a certain BYOAC'er to confess?

Must YE lead us on...and on...and on...

Enough already.....just tell us a simple "sorry, it ain't gonna happen" so we can go our merry way and move on.

Sometimes the pressure of expectations by peers can make us spin a web to keep up appearances.

Helluva try tho, Julian.

Not so bizarre. I actually did this about a year ago. It works really well, but I keep waiting for the 1" thick plexi to implode and kill me when I am standing next to it.

Great.
After reading back over the thread again, and watching the video on page 2 that I missed somehow the first few times through, I'm getting the urge to try this myself.
My family is full of a lot of do-it-your-self-ers, so I bet I could get some help with this.

Then I found this thread about a home-made vacuum chamber.

http://www.housatonicrr.com/VacChamber.htm

And this document:
http://fusioned.gat.com/images/pdf/BiD_vac_cham.pdf

Hmmmm....maybe it really is doable.

Thanks a lot.
Another project.

EDIT: Well, after a few phone calls and talks with the brothers, it won't be practical for me to attempt any kind of mold making.
Dammit, that would have been cool.

Keep up the great work Fozzy!

That's the spirit! Keep up the encouragement and we'll all have Tron sticks that much faster.

How much do I have to buy to make it into your will?
