Hey thanks Craig! I'm still a paracord noob, but it's fun to play with. If you want one, just shoot me a pm with your addy, or I can put one together with your choice of colors and style. I've still got black, olive drab, pink, yellow, teal, bright green, deep red, silver and dark orange.

thanks for the offer Nick! I'll have to ask though... do you have any experience in making lanyards? the one for my keys recently broke and I've been looking around for a replacement.

Got my trit Craig!! Thanks so much. Need to figure out a host/holder for this guy.

I thought of putting them in little acrylic tubes + casting resin, but all my attempts created too many bubbles... yikes! let me know if you figure out anything.. but taping it to the wall works just fine anyways!

Red LED boards are shipped - hope y'all enjoy them (Cssih and 65535).

woohoo, can't wait! looks like I should find something else to throw up in the thread I'll have to dig around...

Craig, do you have a a pic or link to something like you are looking for? If I can see one I will experiment and see what I can do.

Got the led's this is what I've come up with so far.

ccshih my trit came in today Thanks again!!

(for any kind of casting/molding info check out smooth-on, the best way to limit bubbles is to pour the resin from very high up to the lowest point of the mold and let it fill in itself. Pouring from high up makes the resin stream thin and break any bubble on the way to the mold)

I'll get some pics up tonight, I'll be looking it made onto a lanyard as my half assed attempts while somewhat self gratifying have ended up, for want of a better word, crap.

As for the Essexgirl, she was dumped by royal mail for consistently trying to get into the back seat of the delivery van....

I've made a few now

[ninemm]

A pic would be great. I'm usually not in love with skulls. But I would definitely rock one of those on my flashlight/keychain/backpack with pride. :thumbsup:

So here's what those LED's are doing right now.
They'll be helpful in building a new circuit to do this trickery.

oops! sorry about that it did! thought I replied after numbers, but I must have left the window open and closed it later.. I've been doing that a lot lately.. :fail:

I was actually trying to do something similar to numbers..:

but these are not driven to their potential with my ghettorigged setup.. so I'll probably get numbers to do something for me


thanks allot again!
